Digital Content to hit 12 Terabytes by 2014
internetnews.com is reporting that two Market Research companies are predicting that digital content in the average US household could hit 12TB by 2014 – Now that’s terabytes or 11,175 GB (Gigabytes), which is a lot of data for our hard drives to hold 5 years from now.
With all that data wanting to be backed up I’m glad I have a Windows Home Server system and with space for 4 hard drives each drive would have to hold 3TB. Not too far from the 2TB capacity drives which are currently available today.
More details are available here.

Don’t forget you want duplication enabled on shared folders, so add double for that. 🙂
Remember, it’s based on 1024, not 1000.
1 TB = 1024 GB
1 GB = 1024 MB
1 MB = 1024 KB
1 KB = 1024 Bytes
Perhaps he meant to say 11,718.75 GB
