Seagate Ships 400-GB Drive

I think this may be the first time that a drive has come out new that has cost less than $1 per GB when new.

Man disk space is cheap. I've started ripping all my CDs in lossless format, because otherwise how would I take up all that space? While the space is nice, it's kind of like a hammer. It's not really useful until someone figures out how to use it all. What that will be, I do not know.

At 128 kbps you could store about 900 hours of straight sound.
Average movie converted to digital is a couple of GB... so here you could store 200.

And so on... if you're doing a lot of data work, this is great, but I'm still not sure what the average user would use this for (besides porn).
