If only I lived in the US! Unlikely we would see such a deal here. Such drugs cost heaps more down under. The US has the combination of huge competition and a massive downturn in retailing. Drives the prices down.

Maybe I sould go into parallel importing? Just need to ensure that I have enough local addicts to support the new biz.

“Drugs R US” – for the cheapest and biggest external had drives!

Cheers

About a year ago I thought my 1Tb Western Digital was a big deal. Then I stumbled across a 2nd hand SAN (EMC) with fibre, 1.8Tb config and realised what the boys at the big end of town play with. Wow is it fast. Makes the externals look like low, pitiful toys. Bought the kit for my network at the office (Collins Street Business Centre) where I un 4 servers off this one external drive and cannot believe the speed.

So how long before we can go out and buy a cheapie external drive running at today’s SAN speeds?

2 years max perhaps?

The addiction gets stronger and more enticing by the day.

You will get to tera, move to peta, fill up exa, covet zeta and perhaps finally be satiated by your Yotta portable drive.

It’s a variant of Parkinson’s law for data ;-)
