Soon HDDs will be formatted to have 4k sectors instead of 512 byte sectors designed for HDDs with mega bytes of storage. This should open up a lot more space and would make them also more energy efficient. Apparently the biggest change in HDDs in 30 years.

Cisco's CRS1 is basically the best in the industry and now they released the CRS3 this month. The CRS3 allows for three times the capacity. This is apparently the future of routing. Also some cool videos inside the link...

322 Tarabit's? That's a little much for a home router. But I should could get a lot of movies downloaded/uploaded quickly

No such thing.

322 terabits = 41216 GBs = 42205184 MBs per second...Um no longer will I opt for DLing the non HD version of movies on Demonoid

@ that rate, I could fill all my PC's possible storage (assuming it was completely blank) in 0.001945 seconds. I would be frustrated to say the least.
