These are the five external hard drives I have bought over the past 18 years or so, with the ones at left and right being the oldest (80gig and 160gig, respectively), and the center one being my newest (8TB) and only Seagate.
(The other two upright black ones are 2TB and 1TB.)
The left column holds 8TB* (about 7.2 terabytes), more than twice the right column combined.
(The right column is 2TB, 1TB, 80gig, and 160gig, so even at their advertised storage space, it's less than half of the new drive.)
At left is my newest drive, a Seagate 8TB model. At right is my second-oldest, a Western Digital 160gig drive.
My newest and oldest external hard drives.
That's 8TB on the left, and 80 gigs on the right, about 18 years apart.

Yes, it's pink, for the breast cancer foundation.
As a chemist fighting in the frontlines for novel cancer treatments, and having cancer survivors in the family, I would recommend everyone to take a look at ABCF's website.
It may not look like it, but my iBook is bursting at the seams under the weight of all my photos...
It threw a hissy fit and announced that it was full up, refusing to accept any more until I did something about it, so today, I've had to buy a 500GB external drive to lighten my iBook's load. Tomorrow, on a day off work, I face the daunting task of transferring some 6000 images from my laptop to the new drive.
Wish me luck...
it took me three days to complete, but i finally finished painting my room. four years ago when i painted my room, it took me two weeks to complete. but that's only because i was working and going to summer school.
i'm still in the process of switching things around in my room. i need to get new bedding, probably new pillows, lamps (for my desk and on each nightstand), frames for photos that i plan on putting up in my room, a new trash can, flowers, vases, candles. i don't want to buy all of this, so whenever i go to target/walmart/ikea i'll have my mom buy it for me ;) lol!
HP dv5z Laptop Specs:
- AMD Turion X2 Ultra ZM-80 2.10Ghz
- 3GB DDR2
- Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit
- 802.11a/g/n WiFi
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 256MB
- Fried the cooling fan and heat-sink last year, had to get it repaired. Luckily it was still under warranty, but the keyboard is slightly warped from the intense heat. If you look closely you can see how its not aligned right.
Just what my desk looked like, we're moving it around a bit some soon so this is not permanently what it looks like.
Digital wireless and storage technology!

Here's my new WD My Passport Studio, 320GB external harddrive that were waiting for me when I got home. Really love the design and the size of this thing
my computer has been acting wacky lately, so I decided it's time to buy an external hard drive to dump all of my pictures and anything important onto it. I love it!

Last year a single letter written by Albert Einstein was sold for more than $400,000. But could an e-mail printout or an electronic file reach similar heights?
That's the question facing those who deal in the literary artifacts of public figures, as they struggle to work out how to do business in the electronic world where information can be copied and distributed more easily than ever before.
Booksellers, collectors and libraries are already trading in digital objects, Joan Winterkorn, of antiquarian booksellers Bernard Quaritch, told attendees at the Digital Lives conference at the British ... Read more...
**Still catching up...
This was from Saturday, 7-31, which was such a long day. Elliot had to have his apartment completely cleaned and emptied by noon on that Saturday, so he woke me up at 7:30am to help out. Then of course I had to take pictures for my studio project and work on editing things. By the time Elliot got off work (around 10:00pm) I realized I still didn't have a picture, but was too exhausted and lazy to do anything too exciting. I turned to look around me and my hard drive was sitting on the table next to me, and so I just took a few pictures while sitting there.
Nuel hosted a PDX/Vancouver Strobist Meetup at his home. He was such an awesome host to have us all over and to give a lecture and cover so many things in one meetup. :)

It wasn't so long ago that I got my first flash drive, a 2GB number. I still have it and use it, but it wasn't big enough to deal with the video files on our media machines at home, so I got this 250GB external hard drive, which has forced me to learn more about FAT32 and NTFS file sytems than I wanted to, but reformatting it went fine and I was able to move the big video files where they needed to go. Now that that's done, maybe I'll backup my iTunes music library onto it.
Now that backup of my RAID 0 2x250=500GB disk containing My Documents is completed, I feel a few comments are necessary. Western Digital, what were you thinking! The software (Smartware it's called) that you bundled with this drive is one of the saddest pieces of software I have had the misfortune to try to use. I ugraded the disk's firmware and the software, still one of the flakiest pieces of software I have ever seen. The concept is nice, the execution worse than poor. At one point the Smartware backup software was counting downwards when displaying files successfully copied! Western Digital Co., just how much faith do you think I would have that my precious files would be there when I need them? My next disk (to be used for offsite storage) will be a 3.5 inch Hitachi fitted to an enclosure, and I guess I'll have to find some decent software (Acronis or similar) if I want to do simple incremental backups. I know...Western Digital purchased Hitachi's disk manufacturing division, but I can still get one that pre-dates that acquisition. Western Digital makes reasonably good drives, but they should stay out of the software business.
This backup was accomplished by uninstalling Smartware, formatting the disk, and using the copy command. Mysteriously I am not seeing the VCD (Virtual CD) that has troubled so many other users. Be aware that WD claims the VCD can be disabled but not completely removed. Let Google be your friend for more info on WD Smartware. Hey, if it works for you great, but my experience seems to match that of many, many others.
