Om Malik has just put together a quick, but interesting list of fun storage facts.

My personal favorite - “Consumers bought 739.7 million gigabytes of hard-drive storage space last year. That is 11 times what they bought in 2003. (NYT).”

People certainly have a lot of new photos, music, and documents that need to be protected. I can only imagine what that number will be in another three years. At the same growth rate we would hit 8.1 billion! My guess is that it will be closer to 15 billion.
