#2 - have you ever used a computer for anything other that word docs and instant messenger? the "boot-legging" market isn't the only thing that requires mass storage. Any sort of digital video creation requires TONS of storage (uncompressed raw video footage can be upwards of 1 gig a minute). This holds the same for 3d animation (maya, bryce, et al). Plus, did you miss the part about "It also includes new tools to synch data between two or more computers". Which is obviously geared towards a more small business oriented applications, where high end raid 5 servers are out of the question, but mass storage is still in demand.

but you're right, no one could EVER need 1 TB of storage... oh... wait... my media server has 2.5 TB of mass storage which is nearing full with legal, uncompressed backups of my dvd collection (which means i never have to hunt through a box or shelves of boxes for that one movie i want to watch) but you MUST be right]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/
Sorry, I'm still a little bitter over the whole thing...]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/

1TB = 2x 500gb in RAID 0]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/actually, backups are ideal mirroring (RAID 1), since RAID 1 is mirroring. if your goal is to back something up, and make sure it never gets lost, this is the ideal RAID mode (with only two disks)

you would simply be sacrificing half the amount of storage for the benefit of fault tolerance.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/80GB IDE Maxtor - Replaced and still running
120GB SATA Maxtor - Replaced it with a Samsung
250GB SATA Maxtor - Replaced it three times so far.

I will never buy Maxtor again.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/the enclosure is very very nice . . great design.
i currently have over 1TB on my iMac
(1 internal 250gb and 3 external 250's)

you can never have too much storage . . .]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/
Video obviously creates the largest files, but other programs can generate monstrous files as well. For instance, i have a number of photoshop files around a gig each due to many layers.

I agree though, maxtors don't have a good reputation.]]>Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/Dec 19th 2005 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/18/maxtor-onetouch-iii-turbo-1tb-of-backup-lovin/
