That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

I'm gonna guess "very little." (I'm assuming that laptop HDs use the same IDE and power connectors that regular HDs use, or that you can get adapters if they don't. But I'm not 100% sure of this.) You just need to get a case that can hold a small laptop HD.

You can get adapters. Paul had to do that to pull the data from my mother's old hard drive after someone (probably my niece) got water on her laptop. As I recall, it wasn't difficult.

Hey, one Terabyte desktop HDs may arrive in 2007. That'd be about 200,000 mp3s.

Man, I remember back when terabyte was just sexy-sexy future spec.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wasn't Data's (ST:tNG) memory capacity measured in terabytes?

If I add up all the storage space I've got in my apartment right now I'm getting very close to a Terabyte.

Hi :) My graphite AirPort died and I'm looking to replace it. If I have the original AirPort card in my iBook (also graphite), can I buy the AirPort Extreme/Express base station or would I have to buy a new AirPort Extreme card? Am I making any sense? At all? Needs my wireless connection back!!

ETA: I see that the newer card won't work in my computer. So, can I connect to a new (Extreme or Express) base station with my original AirPort card or am I hosed?

Hey. New board.

I have a friend that made a 1.5 TB Raid 5 recently.

ETA: 6 300 GB drives, 5 of which you stripe as space and the 6th of which holds parity information (so you don't lose all the data if you lose one drive)

Guh.

If I add up all the storage space I've got in my apartment right now I'm getting very close to a Terabyte.

I just bought a pair of 250GB drives for backup purposes. That put me well over 1TB.

I've got loose plans to buy a G5 in the fall, and part of the plan to put around half a Terabyte of storage internally on the beast for audio and video editing. My server is already sitting at about half a Terabyte.

Damn, we have a lot of storage. I remember the 120k floppies on my Apple II.

My first computer had 64K of memory. It was considered a lot.

You guys know that if you add much more memory, your equipment may achieve sentience.

I think mine already HAS achieved sentience.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I think mine already HAS achieved sentience.

Is that you, or your computer saying that.
