Swellick Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 How many Gigs do you think a computer hard drive will have five years from now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeros Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 2 terrabytes.Right now they've got this thing that they do where they have 2 250GB hardrives and combine them so that it's like you have one (and so C drive will say 500GB on it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swellick Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 Gosh, I thought I asked for 'gigabites' - he he. I'll go with 5 terrabytes, shocking, but 5 years ago we thought 8 gigs was impresive, now we think that 120 gigs is impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 By then we might have holographic hard drives which will allow for a LOT more space. In fact, we might have Terabyte CDs as early as next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishstag Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Terabyte CDs within a year? Are you serious?*wets self*Heh, my dad remembers the days when a 5MB hard drive was considered state of the art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murchad Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 well, 5 years is a long time So I am going to say double every year so about 2 TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acumen Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Heh, my dad remembers the days when a 5MB hard drive was considered state of the art *I* still remember when a 5MB hard drive was state of the art, and I'm only in my early twenties. *feels old* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 now we think that 120 gigs is impressive...*wets pants* 120 gigs isn't impressive. In fact my brother has 260 gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Heh, my dad remembers the days when a 5MB hard drive was considered state of the art *I* still remember when a 5MB hard drive was state of the art, and I'm only in my early twenties. *feels old* Well, at *that* time, I did not even exist But I remember times when I heard "Wow, you have 80 MB ? I guess you can't fill that drive with data...." BTW @ DA: 160 Gigs here @Topic: I think 2 Terrabytes are realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 *I* still remember when a 5MB hard drive was state of the art, and I'm only in my early twenties. *feels old*I don't remember that time, but i've surely worked on PC's with that much You remember those old HD's that would hold less that 50 MB and weighed about 30 pounds? I had one of those "on display" until i chunked it I agree with most; 2 TB's would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
