That is so cheap. Makes me wish I lived in the US!
I still pay around $200 for that kind of drive...

Whoa! $200.00 for a drive like that, you are paying too much mate :P

I always see some cheap drives around here in the US, but this is a great deal. I need to pick up an external drive sometime soon. Well, actually my 160GB hard drive will last me a little bit

$90 for 250 gigs! Damn, that's amazing. What's the unit that comes after gigabyte? I want to say terabyte, but I know that's wrong. I know brontobyte is the last one, it's like a billion gigabytes or something. I'd like to have a brontobyte of RAM! That would be awesome.

Actually, you're right on the money!


Unit ----------------- Equivalent

1 kilobyte (KB) ------ 1,024 bytes

1 megabyte (MB) ---- 1,048,576 bytes

1 gigabyte (GB) ------ 1,073,741,824 bytes

1 terabyte (TB) ------ 1,099,511,627,776 bytes

1 petabyte (PB) ------ 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes

I like to think of it a little bit faster when it comes to sizes:

1024 KiloBytes = 1 MB
1024 MegaBytes = 1 GB
1024 GigaBytes = 1 PB
