How about 8 Picobytes?
This is getting ridiculous. Considering the hard drive is the most prone thing in a PC to stop working, why not choose something more modern like flash memory?

I guess storage is always a desirable thing, especially with gamers and hard core simulations (i.e. weather forecasting and nuclear detonations), but flash memory would be cheaper and generate no heat compared to hot, noisy drives.
