I have a few hard drives. I recently purchased a terabyte hard drive as a back up to my blue 500 GB backup, which holds all my photos...My first hard drive is the black 160 GB which I still use for all my jewelry designs. You'll also see in the photo my IPOD. I am transferring all my songs to the terabyte. Also pictured is my clunky old hard drive from work, and I am working on transferring all my data and photos to the TB. Also, sitting on my laptop is a 4 GB memory card for my camera.
In the late 1980s, the average home computer system had a single hard drive with a capacity of about 20 megabytes. By the mid 1990s, average capacity increased to about 80 MBs. Just a few years later, operating systems alone required more room than this, whle several hundred megabytes represented an average storage capacity.
1 gigabyte of memory is the equivalent of 500,000 typewriten pages, or about one pickup truck of books.
1,048,576 megabytes = 1 terabyte (a terabyte is a thousand librarians driving Ford F150's stacked with literature...)
