=====================================================================
I can still remember the days when RAM was measured in kilobytes
and hard drives in megabytes. So the recent release of 3TB (terabyte)
PC hard drives simply boggles my mind. Let these numbers ping-pong
about in your brain for a bit, to appreciate the sheer magnitude
they represent: 3TB, that's 3072GB, or roughly 1,000,000,000,000
bytes. That should be enough to hold all the digital data you might
ever want. As you might expect, however, installing and configuring
a drive that size can present challenges. We asked storage maven
Jon L. Jacobi to offer some advice for anyone considering making
the 3TB jump. His article, "Everything You Need to Know About 3TB
Hard Drives," outlines the issues and details the solutions. If
you're tempted by terabytes, give it a read.
--Editorial Director Steve Fox
