Wow these things are cheap now.

I remember going to lunch about 3-4 years ago with some IT workmates
one of whom was wanking on about how he'd just put 1TB in his PC.

Big yawn, we only had 500 GB at the time, but we let him enjoy himself
pulling his pud.

Cost at that time to him, close to $900 AUS.

Now 1 TB is under $100 - bloody amazing value.

Which one to get - it's like Holden/Ford - whatever takes your fancy.

At the current prices, who cares.,
