I can't see this mattering too much, except for huge data centers. Is there anyone running out of disk space on home PCs, workstations or typical servers?

Are 1-2TB drives just too small?

I know that ours aren't anywhere near full, and 500MB+ drives (usually 2.5" in our rack-mounts) will easily keep us for a very long time.

Depends on what you're storing. A/V is going to be the biggest consumers of disk space. Want to re-rip your CD collection in a lossless format? How about Hi-Def video and Dolby sound for your home theater. I can plug an external USB into a Dish ViP722 DVR and move recorded content over to it; 1~2TB will come in handy.

Any professional (or Prosumer) photogs out there shooting RAW at 15+MP are gonna eat up space real quick too.

People and technology will find a way to eat up the space.
