just an observation in awe.

I just bought a Terabyte drive from Western Digital.
Seems those 20mb RAW files eat up space like nuts.
For awhile I was tossing the RAWs after editing and converting the keepers
to level 9 JPEGS.
It soon became clear that this is like making prints and then burning your
negatives.

Just amazed that we can buy a terabyte drive for under $500.
I am sure I will laugh 5 years from now when talk of 50 or 100 TB is common.
Anyone care for a Petabyte Drive?

Eric
