I just saw this on newegg, completely baller > **[Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000 HDS721010KLA330 (0A34915) 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB...](https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145141)** > > Buy Hitachi GST Deskstar 7K1000 HDS721010KLA330 (0A34915) 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive with fast shipping and top-rated customer service. Newegg shopping upgraded ™ but price is too much, you could buy several smaller ones and get about the same space for less if you have the physical space ---

I like that it has 32mb of cache! When a 500GB has 32MB, im buying one. Quick read/write anyone? 🙂 Slowly… they’re narrowing the gap of the bottleneck that the hard drive creates! unless I decide to go flash memory, then even better! ---

Lossless music, DVD backups, digital photos. It all adds up quickly. A 200 DVD collection alone would fill a TB drive. ---

My digital photo’s take up alot. I like to keep photos in their full size format, and also their cropped size. So it fills alot of space. I can imagine Micah uses 20x more than what I use and I know I have quite a bit stored.
