i remember spending $250 on a 1 gig drive and thinking how huge that was... oh how times change

I just wish they'd stop focusing on this "green" drive crap
gimme 1, 2, 3, and 4 platter drives at 7200rpm with the latest tech

why stop at 7200? Where are the 10k and 15k drives? They make them. 20k anyone? Spin it fast enough so we cant hear it

[citation][nom]alidan[/nom]we dont need more than 1080p because we can barely see the extra detail because of how our eyes work, unless you blow the image way the hell up.we hit close to the peak of what we need now, all thats left is refining it.[/citation]

I don't have eagle eyes and 1080p is definitely not enough. we need at least double if not triple that resolution to be futureproof. instead of thinking about the people with monitors (where i could see your point) think about the millions who use a hdtv larger than 30". I can most definitely see the individual pixels.

[citation][nom]applegetsmelaid[/nom]I remember seeing an advertisement for CompUSA back in 1999 for a 30 GB HDD: "The last hard drive you'll ever have to buy." Back then I thought, "30GB! No one will EVER need that much space." Now I average 20GB of HDD activity PER DAY! Not much compared to some uber-geeks, but I do process good amounts of data.[/citation]

on top of that, I have a 32GB USB flash drive in my pocket, and 32GB of storage on my phone. People will always find a way to fill any storage that is available. As long as storage grows, people will find more imaginative ways to fill it.

I remember my first drive was 20MB. I had compression software installed that doubled the space to 40MB but made it run extremely slow. It was a Mac and I think the only games it had were Oregon Trail and a knockoff of Scorched Earth. I taught myself to code HTML on that machine.

Not a fan of Samsung drives, but good development nonetheless.
