Whoa, that will last you for quite a long time. I have mainly MP3's, MPEG, AVI's, and some Photoshop files. But all that is stored on my external 250GB drive. I love it. So big. I swap files with my friend's a lot (because of all the media files on there) so external is best for me. Plus, I make backups on other people's PC before I work on them so I need a large temp storage solution.
