In the computer lab where I TA, students often use transportable FireWire harddrives for dumping their digital video files to disk and moving them from computer to computer. Although students sometimes complain about the cost, I wonder if these one-Terabyte monsters will emerge as a status symbol. Students may want to wait for future generations, however. The storage device weighs a hefty 11 pounds and measures nearly a foot in its longest dimension.
What portability!
1TB. For reference all of the mail that we currently store (90% of all the mail for everyone at the university) would fit on that with a little bit to spare.
