The free space on our computers’ hard disks is getting consumed at a tremendous rate in our never-ending search for higher quality. HD video, 15-megapixel photographs, lossless audio, high-resolution textures of latest games are the reasons why we don’t measure hard disk capacities in just gigabytes anymore. It doesn’t matter if a hard drive has a few gigabytes more or less now that we use the term terabyte to describe it. After a long period of exponential development hard disk drives have slowed their pace down in the last year and a half. Besides the obvious manufacturing difficulties, the problem is that moving beyond the 2-terabyte barrier is not as easy as it seems.
