I made a typo, I should have actually said 1,500,000 MB... because that's what the labelled 1.5 Terabyte drives actually are. Oops. I don't normally state it that way, but that little marketing ploy has always irritated me. Probably irritates the HD manufacturers at this point too.
Ordering over the internet is the way to go. Newegg, FTW! :)
Yeah, storage needs always seem to go up, I don't see that changing anytime soon. Wouldn't surprise me if Google uses Exabytes!

Google processes 24 petabytes of information per day.
On a single day, June 15, 2009, it is estimated 494 exabytes were transferred around the world.
Next comes zettabytes. By the end of 2010 the world will be producing 1 zettabyte of info a year.
Yes, yes, I want a 15 zettabyte drive for my computer!
