Never run out of disk space again

There, that got your attention ;)

Sometimes I think I have enough storage. Then I wake up and realise I was just dreaming. So if you've got designs on serious disk space, you might be interested to know how to get Petabytes of storage.

How long will it be before the average personal computer's storage is measured in petabytes? 2, 3 or 5 years? Or will there be no breakthrough to miniaturise enough in that time? Will it simply be a question of affordability, or will it be a combination of these two factors as it is now? Who knows the answers to all these questions? Who cares?
Not me. I can't even be bothered to knock together a proper post.
