Default I've Gotta' Whole Lotta' Hard Drives Goin' On

http://www.westerndigital.com/en/pr...asp?driveid=576

Four of these 1 Terrabyte Western Digital Caviar Green hard drives arrived for me yesterday - aren't they pretty? The key benefit these hard drives offer is power-related: they use only 6 watts when in use, 4 watts at idle, and only 0.8 watts at sleep or idle. They achieve this through a variety of technologies, including a variable RPM of 5400 to 7200. Clever stuff! Would anyone like to guess what I'm going to be using them for?

Well since you haven't built a new computer in a couple of months, I would think it's a new Home Server or you're upgrading one of your desktops to handle big-time photo/video editing on the box

Streaming video server.
Could be for an archive of RAW photos, but smart money says video server is more likely. what with the new flat panel and all...
