  • 10 000 mp3? one mp3 is about 4 MB.. assume the worst and it's 5MB... so 5 X 10 000 is only 50 000 MB = 50GB ?
    400 GB is like 8 times larger than that.

  • humm.. initially waiting for the 300GB one but from the looks of it, I think I will wait for the 1 terabyte to launch... LOL :D
  • If that hard disk does a "kong" on you and goes to heaven, you will be crying 400GBytes worth of tears :)

    well, I will still cry if my 200GB went "kong" ;)
    basically, 400GB hdd is for video editing company.

  • if you gonna use hundreds of gigs sized hdd, better run them on raid, at least mirroring.
