Made some more PC Mods / Upgrades - pervertfreak - 08-28-2008

I had mentioned somewhere earlier that my 1,000GB main C: drive was so full of porn videos that it's honestly 94% full! I needed a large external HDD to move those files over to. So I just ordered another 1,000GB Hard Drive (only $150!) and a Vantec Nexstar MX Dual 3.5" External HDD enclosure. This enclosure holds two full size hard drives and if you like, you can use them in RAID 1 or 0. I chose to keep them as seperate drives. I had already had a Western Digital 750GB drive in a single external enclosure hooked up via eSATA to my PC so I took that one out of the old enclosure and put it along with my new 1,000GB drive into the new dual drive enclosure. Anyway, now I've got a single external HDD that actually contains a 750GB drive and a 1TB drive (1,000 GigaBytes = 1 TeraByte). The 750GB drive will be for backup of my family pictures and videos and the 1,000GB drive will hold all of my porn (If it will fit). I also got this cool ass adapter doohickey thing that allows you to hook up any old bare hard drive up to your PC via USB. So if I have an old PC lying around that doesn't really work anymore, I can take the drive out and access it with the use of this adapter and get shit off of it. My buddy gave me an old PC a few years ago with an old IDE dive in it and I can now use this thing to hook up to his old drive and see what he's got on it.

So my PC now has a 1,000GB main C: drive, a 500GB F: drive, a 750GB L: drive and a 1,000GB M: drive. That's 3.25 TB of space. Not to mention that I had a 500GB Maxtor drive laying around that I put in the old original enclosure that I could still use if I wanted to. I'm such a freak.

Along these lines by the way, Seagate is about to launch a 1.5TB 3.5" desktop drive and a 500GB 2.5" notebook drive very soon. Of course prices will be astronomical until the rest of the competition catches up.

I thought memory was getting dirt cheap?

Well, while RAM and Hard Drives have generally gotten much cheaper, I just mean that the "Latest and Greatest" of anything is always a ripoff. They always charge through the nose for the newest and best hardware. And when Seagate comes out with that 1.5TB drive, they'll charge a premium for it and ripoff all of the supergeeks that MUST HAVE the best.

They gotta pay for the R&D some how.
