Hard Drives Down To A Dollar A Gigabyte
Junky191 writes "I doubt anyone else noticed this- but today is the first day where mass storage is available for $1 per gigabyte (according to pricewatch,). There are several stores now selling 120GB models for $120 shipped. This is truly an amazing milestone for those of us who once spent $500 for the fantastically large 10MB models. I just can't wait for the days when things are $1/TB." With discounts, the price has been that low for a little while.

Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
My dick is older than your dick. I remember the days before I had pubic hair!
Can't wait 'till things are a buck for a terabyte, eh? When that day comes to pass, inflation will have made a dollar worth three cents, so a reasonably priced hard drive will run you about $40,000 dollars, the average weekly wage, and will be the size of a dime. We'll all be using the Itanium 6 and 512 GB of RAM, and our monitor's resolution will be 65536x49152, with 64 bit color. Windows will take up a mere 75 terabytes of hard disk space and will take about 45 minutes to start up, and will crash no less than once every six hours (that's over 518,400,000,000,000 instructions executed, a record for Windows!)...
