Ok, I admit it, the iPod part was just the shameless hook. But that doesn’t make the possibility any less true.
According to Seagate’s projections on hard drive capacity:
[We show] a 2.5-inch drive reaching 1TB by 2013. Using that calculation and assuming 40% growth stays as the annual growth rate, a 1.8-inch would reach 1TB by 2014.
On one hand 1TB seems so close, but maybe Seagate would be a bit more inclined if they knew just how many Cher CDs Brian Lam* has in his closet.
Disclaimer: I am not fully apprised as to the specific listening habits of Brian Lam, but I am sure that they are perfect…whatever that/keeping my job may entail. It can be Cher, even. We’re not judging here—at least not vocally.
