Wow. 1T byte. What are you storing, if I may ask?

Well, it's easy to fill a big drive up when you use computers in place
of your TV/VCR and Stereo, and when you scan everything in, digital
camera which takes movie clips, the wife and two kids, a home network
with 7 computers on it, and software for both windows and linux, a
full set of MAME ROMS and disk images, bla bla bla.

We have 37 terrabytes worth of x-rays, CT scans etc at the hospital
where I work, all online in spinning disk, so a measly 250GB at home
doesn't look like a lot in comparison. A few more years and we'll all
have terrabyte hard drives at home.
