6 TB Helium Filled HDD

[qdada]

I am going to feel like in idiot in about 14 months for being flummoxed by the idea of a 6TB disk but at the risk of sounding like an over dramatic teen in the year 2011 ... OMFG !!

And ermm ... Helium ?

That's a different drive. The device there is an external hard drive with two HDDs inside.

I bought a PC back in 1998 and don't remember the 6GB drive which came with it costing so much. A 40GB in 2001 was R800 or so.

You are right was most likely a 8 or 10 gig drive, memory is failing me haha
