3.75 Terabytes and Counting

[DessoThumbs]

After a killer black friday deal at Target - 2 terabyte external WD HDD 69 bucks - I'm now at 3.75.

What is 1000 terabytes called? That's my goal.

I try, I try...hahaha!

Anyway, that is a good deal on a 2TB external HD. When I bought my 1TB external HD from WD I believe it was around $130 back then. It was a sale at the time, too. I think I got it two years ago or so...

I got a 1.5TB Seagate for $80 on clearance at Walmart early this fall. Looking back, I should have picked up all three they had..
