One friggin' trillion bytes!
« on: August 25, 2009, 05:55:54 PM »
Since my 250 GB HDD is constantly running full, I decided to buy me a new external HDD. Since I am satisfied with the old one, I once again took a "My Book" by Western Digital.

Now I have 931 GB* of space for more TV Shows.  :devil:



* HDD people calculate with the base of 10 to the power of n, while Computer people and operation systems calculate with the base of 2 to the power of n. So for a HDD manufacturer 1TB = 10^12 Byte = 1,000,000,000,000 Bytes, while in reality this amount of bytes comes up to only 931.323 GB.

That thing looks cool Karsten.

I have currently around 750GB of storage and it seems it will last me a little while longer. Of course, I am not tapping any preview-networks so the need for space isn't quite that strong either.

I have no idea what any of that means but you seem to be excited so...Congratulations! :cheers:
