 I am talking real hard drives.USB version are up to 500 Gig

 I'm using a WD 1TB SATA drive in an Antec MX-1 external case.  The case has
 a cooling fan with under/over airflow and supports drives up to 1.5TB.  It
 has USB 2.0 and eSata connections.  I'm able to move files between Vista,
XP
 Pro, and Debian boxes.

 Just about everyone has 1TB USB external drives

 work?

 I'll look into that one Andy. Thanks

Side note on solid state SD drives.

We have some 2T (yes, two tetra bytes) solid state SD Cards in
the lab. Lots of storage, and no altitude restrictions like hard drives.

No idea when this stuff with hit the shelves at your favorite
electronics stores, but it does exist.  With 2T we really need
USB3.0 connections to stream the data.

Have you tested them with Linux? I bought a USB 500 Gb drive and it worked
up to
100 Gb and then  refused to store any more.
