Yea, there'll obviously be loads of repeated tracks etc... But a cool figure none the less.. 10Tb.. Remember the days when we had less than 10gb hdds?...
about 8Gb on the Lappy over 40Gb on the Desktop, backed up on the portable HDD, but soon on RAID1 I hope insted.
I prefer the term 'have' About half of my Music is off CD's and ect. but i'll leave you to work out where the rest has come form
Aaah, see you point now.. lol. But of course they are all owned. But really, I think you're right, the number would dramatically decrease!
46Gb of music... take note that included are music that was from my pc back in 1999, and another from 2001, and from the 2003 pc i had, and my 2004 lappy, and now this PC... quite a lot but i listen to less than a gig of it... I wonder how much hard disk space I will have consumed in ten years time?
Oh come on, I remember back when computers didn't even HAVE hard drives. Yes, my first machine had two 5.25" floppies worth of storage, and that was it. Mind you, I was about five at the time, but I've used a number of computers where the 700MB of a CD would have been a lot of storage. And now you can get 16GB flash drives the size of your thumb. My, my, where fourteenish years can take you.
or thinking back to when the first hard drives were introduced and 1MB would be a huge capacity, now processors store 4x that amount in their buffer
I wonder what the hdd storage of all the bit-tech users is put together? Also, does anyone know where the biggest storage facility is? not a trick question, I just wondered.. i.e. the largest gethering of hdds in one building...
Some of my music here: http://i3.tinypic.com/4dp2hpi.jpg I have more, but this is the core of my collection, and so are the only songs in my playlist.
i would guess it would be in a place like america... i have heard that someone like the secret service record loads of phone calls and search through them for any relevance to national security... just a guess tho...
The Wayback machine has the largest publicly accessible one I think. They are using the Petabyte machines to store data. I reckon that the Pentagon would have the biggest storage available to it somewhere.
Probably a research lab. At JET for example they collect several GB of data every time they run the fusion reactor. And they run that thing every 20mins or so. So yeah - after a couple of years that's quite a bit of data.
I thing the Shell server for data is something like 20,000 Tb or the like. Shell also has its own internet, but is called wwsw or world wide shell web (i think that's what my dad told me )
