I need at least 50TB now, 25 for storage and 25 for back-up.
And it should be much faster than SSDs are now. I am really curius how IT will look like in ten or twenty years:-)

obviously TB’s are easily filled with the internet providers growing as well

not long from now, we’ll be using fiberglass instead of coax only. And then we’ll be able to download with 100Mbit and 100Mbit upstream.

Meaning that we’ll need more storage

It’s funny these people saying “do we need 3 tb” Heck yeah! I have my 400 dvd’s on three 1tb hard drives so it would help me save physical space.

Do we need 3TB? Of course we do! I don’t think I will be satisfied until PETABYTE drives are the standard, and at that point I will probably need more!

There is no such thing as TOO MUCH computer power, either in raw speed or storage.

You might not, but I assure you, others do.

Do we even need 3tb of memory?

That is going to be most certainly true. There will come a point when investing into traditional harddrives becomes not worth while, and it will be time to invest in SSD solutions.

I think they should be diverting their focus into the SSD market, as that is definitely the next step along the storage tech tree. Once the size of traditional drives gets to a certain point i expect development to stop.
