Great, love it. I can remember the days when hard drive capacity was doubling every year and how disapointed I was when it suddenly began to fall off.

How do you eat the eggs once they are squished into your hard drive?

I couldn't bear to lose 22 TB of data. That'd be life-wrecking.

What if it were full of Justin Bieber?

Then it would be somebody else's hard drive.

Back in January, before I got locked out on Facebook

there was ads for 20 Terrabytes for Memory Stick sized SSD Drives

for around $70- US, & ran at 500mbps...I think, it was SSD, might been another terminology

Solid state, would be a good backup...My goals in time is to get them
to back up my collection, maybe twice

If you folks get them, no need to worry about backing stuff up

My Beatles, Solo, & Related stand about 5.1 Terrabytes

I have 5 External Hard Drives, one for DVD's/MP4's & MKV's, &

4 for Lossless Audio, & a small bit for MP3's

SSD does have the advantage of being less likely to break if dropped or struck. But I'm not sure how reliable it is.
