First 750GB Internal 3.5" HD

Yay Seagate!  They released a perpendicular magnetic drive, 750gb internal, for $590.  First PM drive, too!  I sooo want 10.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_magnetic_recording

Basically, standard harddrives' magnets lie flat on the platters, taking up lots of space (ie: parallel).  Perpendicular drives have their magnets aligned vertically (perpendicular to the platters), which allows much more densely packed platters, and, vis-a-vis, more storage space.

That's an easy one.

Current hard disk technology with longitudinal recording has an estimated limit of 100 to 200 gigabit per square inch due to the Superparamagnetic effect, though this estimate is constantly changing. Perpendicular recording is predicted to allow information densities of up to around 1 Tbit/sq. inch (1000 Gbit/sq. inch).

1 terabit = 1012 bits = 1,000,000,000,000 bits (one trillion, long scale: one billion)

:D

Ok, I give.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perpendicular_recording

Wasn't that a week or two ago?  I remember hearing about the 750gb drive. 

The race is on down the home stretch to get to 1tb!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.
