How do you keep them all sorted out? 1TB runs for $149, which means that (Urgh… MATH!) 1CD = 0.68 GB… 1TB = 1024GB, so i will have enough space to maybe more than 1500 CD’s…

Now… Let’s just say that each CD was 21 cents each, so i already spent more on CD’s than in storage… (And we all know it’s not true… How much do all your OSes for all your PC’s cost?)

We all know what happens when you put all your eggs in the one basket! So we RAID… The price is wrong… (But I think yOu know the rest, donTCHa?)

Nope… I find convenient to have the ISO on my PC to play the games, I find convenient to have my CD music (not the same as the downloaded/bought with pc) on mp3s so i don’t have to search through housands of casings just to hear one song… But once you find CD or DVD media that won’t degrade so easily with proper use… It’s still cheaper.

Plus… More than half of them are DVD’s… so 1TB maybe is not enough… Is my math right? Did I slip somewhere?

Where’s holographic storage, dude?

1. Hard drives – slowly being replaced by SSD’s
2. Optical drives
3. Cooling – doesn’t even count entirely because you can build a system without active cooling

The second one, optical drives, are the only one left. In your home theaters, it’s also the only one with moving parts.

There are two alternatives – stream everything from the internet or use SSD’s like a flash drive.

At some point, we’ll see a move away from optical discs. With cable providers placing digital tuners in users’ homes, that’s just one more way to distribute content over wire.

Sony’s recent win is great and it will do well long enough for them to recoup the money it took to win the format war, but the real future will be when we don’t have any optical drives at all.
