That's what I thought when I got my 1st TB now I'm at 4....
Imagine what it takes to backup your 1TB (and what's left after that of your 2TBs
An really old rule of thumb is to always buy a harddrive at least 1 size bigger than what you expect to need.
But that came from a time when harddrives were expensive...now you just wait another month and save

i no they are so cheap in money but the quality is superb for the money mass produced and very affordable this side of the pond:)
500GB drives are a dime a dozen here. I prefer going with several smaller drives if I can, rather than one huge one. This allows me to retain data if a drive goes legs up.
i dont have room in my case i use hard drive fans i have a 1TB a 30GB ssd and waiting for the new 1TB that will max out my room then, but i have 4 external as well total of 2TB + 350 gigs all of which i use :)
I have a 500GB portable and it's more than I need right now.
Once you start ripping your DVD's because you are tired of paying $15 a pop when someone doesn't treat them nice, you run out of space fast.
I have a 500g OS HD, 2x1TB backup/ sotrage HD's and 3x400g external storage HD's. I'd say right now combined they would be lucky to be holding 30% of their collective volume.
Its hard for me to fill even 100 GB, I don't even know what to store in a 3 TB drive.
How about making a dozen partitions in it where I can try a dozen or more operating systems??
My hard drive is only 75 GB in size yet I managed to fit 3 operating systems into it, how much more can I achieve with a 3 TB drive???
