I bought two 2TB disks on "Black Friday," taking my total to 10.5 terabytes in operation. They're all* paired for backups, so it's really only 5TB of storage. Formatted, of course, it's even less. Here're some real numbers:
Filesystem Size Mounted on
/dev/disk2s2 465Gi /Volumes/Butch
/dev/disk5s2 931Gi /Volumes/Raphael
/dev/disk3s2 931Gi /Volumes/VanGogh
/dev/disk7s2 931Gi /Volumes/Mars
/dev/disk8s2 931Gi /Volumes/Pluto
/dev/disk9s2 931Gi /Volumes/Terra
/dev/disk10s2 931Gi /Volumes/Jupiter
/dev/disk6s2 1.8Ti /Volumes/Marvin
/dev/disk4s2 1.8Ti /Volumes/Hal9000
931GB isn't quite 1TB, but I round up.
* All are paired except the 500GB "Butch", which is itself a backup drive for two networked laptops and a 500GB external drive connected to one of those laptops, not pictured here.
Second shipment - rusty, scored, greasy rotors, not described. The closer pair were cleaned up using spray brake parts cleaner and a rag. The left one of the upper pair, first shipment, show evidence of a half-hour's work with brake parts cleaning fluid and a Scotch scrubber pad.
They strung me along with empty promises until the dispute period expired, then ignored my pleas. More fool me, but that makes them thieves, doesn't it?
(Someone asked for an update: It's been two years or more. The point was: Even such high-volume and highly-regarded sellers can be rats from time to time. If they have something you want, at a price you like, it will probably be a problem-free transaction, but don't be surprised if there is something wrong, and do your objection and claims routines early. Don't let them run out the dispute period, as I did.
Matter of fact, I have something coming from them tomorrow (03 June 2009). We'll see how it develops ...)
(A week later: This one was perfect: excellent price, careful packing, timely delivery of an item that is exactly as advertised. I guess every one is a gamble; win a couple, lose a couple.)
Here is the inner workings of the famicom disk system. The diskdrive with the rubberbelt that likes to snap, the game data extractor ( who looks sucpiciously like mario ), the processing unit ( center right in the picture ), and an RGB port under the battery compartment ( top centre ). We also find a recycling system that turns broken workers into fuel, a charging station, the "Angry gamer's gravity generator" ( good to have when the console suddenly gets airbourne ), and backup workers. And a nuclear backup powerplant with a cooling system that involves a jumping Luigi, a barrel throwing Donkey Kong, an ice spitting Freeon Leeon, and a submerged Gil who's in charge of the circulation of the coolant. The powerplant also supplies the workers with a healthy cloud of radiation. The radiation also make the workers react with the games' contents. So familiar mutations will occour. In a such a situation you will also get new characters. And a few well known Nintendo characters ( like Funky Kong ) was inspired by mutations like this.
If anybody wants to know, the dimensions are: 120x180cm.

Some old hard disk I had with me. This one is maxtor 10GB..finally I Found the star-screwdriver that can open this thing.. :)
Preparing for a move I took time to discard a lot of old things we don't use anymore. 3.5 inch floppy disks were part of the lot. I just saved these. Maybe to be able to tell my grand-children that I was there! ;-)
Verse
"Remember your Creator in the days of your youth."
(Ecclesiastes 12:1)
Explanation
The disk only has energy to spin for a small amount of time.
Remember to follow God and use your time wisely while you have energy.

The first production model, only approx. 50 have been sold, but the quality was very low and most of the cars have been buyed back by the factory. The construction was very progressive, but the production too hasty and mayn flaws have emerged soon. The workers had a popular saying: "DISK nám sežral zisk" (DISK ate away our profit).

A front Brake Disc with heat spots and run out that causes noises, brake pedal and steering wheel shudder during braking.
Not for long though. Out comes the PFM900 On Car Brake Lathe
I have made a Photo movie DVD with more than 500 photos that I have taken.
I showed the photo movie for mothers of the dance school member. Everyone asked me to give the DVD, so I'm copying some more disks.

Disk brake hub being manufactured in England. It is not sure who this is being made for the humans mentioned in land of the giants are 12 times normal size. This is 50 times normal size. It could be larger humans exist in our universe though a better guess might be the alternate universe humans mentioned by Rudy Rucker.
Pen holders are useful, and for the first time in almost 10 years floppy disks are too.
This version is made using glue to stick 5 disks together. Another version on Instructables uses a drill and cable ties.

COCHITI LAKE, N.M. — This is a Secchi disk submerged into Cochiti Lake about 1 inch. It is completely obscured by the oily-looking, ash-laden water washing down into the lake from areas burned by the Las Conchas fire upstream. Secchi disks are used to measure the clarity of water.

Even girl geeks deserve a personalized floppy. This one is for Susie. She's hung it up at her desk at work. She works for a gaming company so can't take pictures of it in situ, but she is now the envy of the office (queen of the geeks!).

Why there is no Applications folder shortcut, I don't know, but I do like the application icon and the background used here.
