Instapundit linked up what would seem to be the world's first external 1 terabyte HD (in a 5.25 form factor). I got a price quote on one for $990. Damion, our resident mac hardware expert, says the company that makes it "sucks ass" in his opinion, so we won't be advertising them. However, we will promote this account of a very early example of terabyte-level storage from 1970. Robotic manipulation of photographic glass, a thingamajig that looked to fill two very large cabinets. God knows what it cost.
