It was luck, honestly. I got three WD Ultrastar Data60s from a friend whose company was upgrading to some even more ridiculous storage solution. They were letting them go for $10,000 each or so, populated with 14 TB drives, so I went for all three.

I fully expect that I won't have to upgrade storage for the rest of my life, because, honestly... I don't know where we go past 4K. 8K is just dumb for everyone unless you have a 200 foot screen that you sit 10 feet away from or so. As far as games go, yes, they're approaching 250 GB, but there does come a point where textures, models, and sound will become "good enough". I figure 1 TB games will be pretty much "the end", but then again... the first computer I got was 28 years ago and had a 540 MB hard drive, but in fairness, that seemed small even back then.

I guess some day someone will bitch that their computer only has 6 PB of storage...
