Well if it helps anyone at all to know, especially helmutcheese, i want/need more space because my pc goes everywhere i go, ie when im at uni its here with me, when im home for the holidays its home with me. And i am getting a flat in the summer and again, my pc will be with me. I dont like having to carry around 20 tv series box sets, 100 odd dvd's and 100's of cds. It wastes space and its annoying.
And as mentioned by someone above, its nice to have everything online (meaning on your pc) rather than having to search through loads of cds.
To be honest maybe it would have been a good idea for my to keep more stuff on back up dvd's and burn stuff as i aquire it but the problem now is that i have so much data that even at 4GB a pop dvd burns, burning about 2TB will take a while!! And again it defeats the above object of having it in fingers reach.
I think i might have to buy a couple of F1's. I brought my 1TB drive only weeks ago (2 months max) and at the time i paid £140 odd, it was the cheapest TB drive with 32meg cache. At the time the F1 was a similar price. Im shocked that F1's are now only £100! I wonder why they are so much cheaper than the rest...
