I’ve seen a lot of 1 TB (1,024 gigs 1 TB) for just a bit more then the Iomega you described. Personally, I’d rather spend a drop more and get a lot more space. I remember when I bought a 250GB external drive, I thought it was so large until everyone backed up their computers on to it, and we all have lots of mp3 files. Just recently I read in a tech journal that cloud computing is the wave of the future. Rather then have a physical device, we’d be storing data on computers somewhere out there (hence, in the clouds). For instance, lots of companies use storage at Amazon.com for their cloud storage. I have an account with Microsoft’s Windows Live that gives you 25GB free storage, good for backing up documents and photos.
