My (hard drive) Space

We're using up more and more hard drive space to store the crap that we keep on our computers. With music, video, games and who knows what else, my hard drive space requirements have just ballooned. I remember when the first modern computer I got in 1997 had 8GB of hard drive space and I couldn't understand how we would ever fill it up.

With HD seemingly coming on with a vengeance, you're going to need even more space as you begin to store HD video. With that in mind, I think you should look into buying a second hard drive. If you have a desktop, they're really easy to install so don't be intimidated. If you have a laptop, then you may want to consider buying an external drive or looking into buying a regular drive and then purchasing an enclosure. The enclosure will convert the internal drive into an external one with relative ease, and cheaper than buying a dedicated external drive.

Cruising around the internet today, I came across a good price on a 320GB Seagate drive. Dell is selling the drive for $79. With free shipping, the total came in at just over $90 in Ontario. Now, let it be known that I own shares of Seagate - but the reason I bought shares in the company was because it was clear that they made the best hard drives. Still, I thought you should know.
