Seagate Releases 3TB External Drive for $250

    I can understand the need if you run a business, large or small. But for home use? Unless you are downloading movies by the dozens, I don't see how you can use that much disk space.

I was operations manager for a university which ran 2 mainframes and one mini-computer, and I'm guessing we didn't have a gb of disk storage for all three computers. My how times change ...
