Great, now it will only take 8 hours to format that drive!
I agree with the rest of you. My home pc has a 120 gig drive.
I have 400 gig of storage on my file server (split up between many smaller drives). I simply do my backups from my dev machine to there (and from my web server to there), and from there on to tape drive (the web stuff and code from the dev machine).
Having large drives is ok if you have 3 or more to create a decent raid. Even then, your taking a huge risk on new technology.....
Usually when they announce their ultra huge drive "hey, it stores a Terabyte, all on solid state", it tends to have many issues out of the box... Never rely on new technology.
