You won't get much fluff building up on that then.

I saw a domestic video recording system on sale in Japan, that had 4 Tb of memory. Not on one hard drive obviously.
It would record up to 17 channels of TV simultaneously for 40 hrs.
Ideal for those of you that don't want to miss anything whilst on holiday.

I can't wait for more solid state developments, normal hard drives fail.

I have a regular customer (Rushden-Heathrow, Heathrow-Rushden) Who has been using Tera bite Drive(s) now for about a year.


AND he's been filling them.


He works for a firm that does data aquistion (in London and out of Lagos) and I believe they collect seismic data.
