So my old Seagate external drive was filling up fast and I've been on the lookout for another one. Found a Western Dig 2TB without the silly backup software for a sweet price and it just arrived. It looks like a tiny version of the Monolith from 2001: A Space Odessy. 2 terabytes though. Woah. That's unbelievably huge to me now, but it will probably seem as tiny as my 160GB does today. Crazy.

2 terabytes.

Now I'm imagining all the years of hopefully awesome photos I have yet to take. Where will I go? What will I see? Will I have a different camera? It's all just waiting for me inside that black box.

I use two 1TB drives, one I keep at work and the other one at home. When I back up the one drive I take it to work and exchange it. I try to do this every week so if something happens to my home I don't loose everything.

Sweet drive Wicked, I've just spent the last two nights upgrading to Windows 7 and then restoring all my photos.... it's taken forever.

Congrats! 2TB will last you a while.

Yeah, at least a couple of weeks ;)

I'm saving for my next drive. I have a NAS device which I plan to add a couple of 1TB+ drives to. Seems like I've been talking about this forever...

I'm going to have to do that soon, too. I was eyeing a 2Tb external at Future Shop, but I'll bet a small local place will have better deals. Can I ask where you got this one and how much?

Frye's $150, some kinda special. Amazon had it for $180.

A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, and walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife""What type of bra?" asked the clerk.Replica Franck Muller Watches (http://www.salereplicawatches.com/replica-franck-muller-watche)Replica Louis Vuitton Watches (http://www.salereplicawatches.com/replica-louis-vuitton-watches)Replica Rado Watches (http://www.salereplicawatches.com/replica-rado-watches)"Type?" inquires the man. "There is more than one type?""Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only three types of bras," replied the salesclerk. Confused, the man asked what were the types. The saleslady replied "The Catholic type, the, Salvation Army type, and the Baptist type. Which one do you need?" Still confused the man asked, "What is the difference between them?" The lady responded, "It is all really quite simple. The Catholic type supports the masses, the Salvation Army type lifts up the fallen, and the Baptist type makes mountains out of mole hills.
