Are you a digital packrat? Do you refuse to delete things, just in case you might need them later? Sure, you’ve had those N’SYNC MP3s since high school and haven’t listened to them once in years, but maybe you’ll rediscover them someday! You never know, after all. And why delete all those games you’ve installed and beaten on your computer? You might want to revisit them later!

It seems to me that you need some more space. Well, you could always get a hard drive, open your computer up, and install it. But that’s a lot of unnecessary work. Why not just get an external drive? Externals don’t get any bigger (or cheaper, gigabyte by gigabyte) than this LaCie Quadra External 1TB Hard Disk. It’s a whopper, storing 1 terabyte of data. That’s 1,000 gigabytes, for you lay people out there, or more than enough to hold all of your digital detritus for years and years. So quit deleting stuff that you might, in theory, enjoy at some point in the future. There’s just no need to.

Completely unlike the current housing market, the hard drive market is rife with huge, spacious products for prices that are far, far lower than they were a few years ago. Back in the 90’s, you could spend $500 on a 10GB hard drive and you’d think you were one savvy shopper. These days, they don’t even make iPods that are 10GBs any more and the first 1000GB (or 1TB) hard drive just went on sale. Has the whole world gone mad?! Who cares? All that matters is that you can get lots of space for all of your music, movies, photos, and documents for less than a dinner for two at Nobu.

How much space are you looking for? You can go from a measly 80GBs to 500GBs, nearly 6 times the space, for less than twice the price. And if you’re feeling really crazy, you can even get a 750GB drive for not much more. Sure, it’s not as exciting as finding a 1500 square foot apartment near Union Square for under market, but what the hell do you want from us here? Just buy a hard drive and be happy with the little things.
