1TB (that's Terarabyte, as in 1000 Gig) Home server available this month!

It seems as though everything is getting faster these days - computers, cars, even the speed at which predictions come true.

In the December 2005 issue of Electronic House magazine, there was an article titled "10 things to look for in 2006". One of them is as follows:

HARD LUCK: Say goodbye to the gigabyte days. Hard disk drives with terabytes of storage will be inside Digital Video Recorders, media servers and other products. That's plenty of space to store tons of MP3s, digital photos and high-def movies.

Only five days into the new year, I received this press release from Buffalo Technology:

Las Vegas, NV -- January 5, 2006 - CES Booth # RV2 - Buffalo Technology, a global leader in the design, development and manufacturing of wired and wireless networking, storage, multimedia and memory solutions today introduced another addition to its family of products designed to DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) Guidelines -- the 1TB TeraStation Home Server (HS-D1.0GL/R5). The product is designed for the consumer market and allows users to easily store and distribute multimedia files such as music, DVD back-ups, family videos and photos around the home. It is the first consumer-friendly, high-capacity NAS device designed to DLNA Guidelines.

Amazing! What other predictions have you heard that you want to come true?
