It's funny how quickly we fill up our new capacities. Will any prescient software engineers tell me how we'll fill up the too-soon standard 1, 2, 4 TB drives in computers? It seems at a certain point that even if 1080p video downloads becomes standard, pulling it off the pipes would be painfully slow. So will we wallow for a few years at the current standard due to an inability for great pipe speeds, will we backpedal a bit as all personal computers switch to SSDs, or will we abandon big home drives altogether in favor of cloud storage?
