The first 4TB drive released is an external 3.5incher with USB 3.0 support, and should keep you 'backing up' for quite some time. I am still on a 90gb WD Raptor with a 312gb for bulk, so I don't think my mind can even get around just what to do with this much space.
Seagate’s FireCuda Gaming Hard Drive may not win any awards for its performance, but it’s a great portable storage device for those looking to not break their bank.
At their inaugural virtual gaming event today, Seagate Technology revealed its latest SSD designed specifically for PC gamers, the FireCuda 530.
The Seagate FireCuda Gaming Hub offers a large stylish storage solution for laptops and gaming library backup, but speed limits potential with new consoles and PC gaming use.
How would you ever fill up 4TB???
I'm currently building a 12TB server with 2GB of parity for backing up movies, shows and my photographer GF's pictures... on top of that she stores them on 1TB drives and packs them up as well for redundancy.
1TB is getting to be less and less these days when you consider you can get 14GB rips of movies very easily and providing you have a decent connection it only takes about 10-15 minutes to download
