I recently saw a 1 Terrabyte harddrive and am curious if it would be a good purchase. Although, I can't ever see being able to fill it up.

A 1 TB hard drive is technically 1,000,000,000,000 Bytes
=976,562,500 KB (1 KB= 1024 Bytes)
=953,674.32 MB (1 MB=1024 KB)
=931.32 GB (1 GB=1024 MB)
so the drive is ACTUALLY 0.91 TB (1 TB=1024 GB)
I hate how drives are labeled as their number of bytes, instead of how they will actually turn out to be. Although certain Operating Systems or File Systems may actually read it as 1 TB, most will read it at 931.32 GB

Im looking at terrabyte drives for a external drive enclosuer idea.
However, the higher the gig the more the need for a suitable backup.
MY backup setup will do multiterabyte (and would be expensive if not for the fact I got it free for work I did a while back).
Oh, u will find ways to fill it up.
When I bought 13gig 7 years ago, everybdoy said it would take years to fill it up (i filled it up in 1 weekend with audio cd's).
That same music collection is now on 200gig HD.
Sold the 13gig to the biggest critic I had.

It should be able to hold 1000 Gb. Of course that's unformatted capacity and it will drop a little after you put a file system on it.
The way to think about it is to evaluate it like any other drive. Is the access time ok? Is the seek time any good? How much cache does it have? Huge space is great, but if it's slow it's not much use.

1000 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte.

1 TB (terrabyte) = 1,000 GB (gigabytes)

well, going by exact terms
1 tera byte = 1024 giga bytes
and in same way
1 giga byte = 1024 mega bytes
1 mega byte = 1024 kilo bytes
1 kilo byte = 1024 bytes
1 byte = 8 bits
and bit is smallest unit of information, used to represent 0 or 1 in computers
i think it is enough and you could believe a comp. engg.
