We Frag Dolls are pretty lucky. Seagate is an awesome sponsor and has hooked us up with a bunch of external hard drives so we can back up our data and have huge portable storage.

We're also lucky because we got more hard drives than we have Frag Dolls! To share the love we've decided to give away a 1000GB Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus hard drive, courtesy of Seagate, to a Frag Doll community member who convinces us that he or she could really use it.

So, we ask the question: What would you do with 1 Terabyte?

• Your answer can be in the form of a video, image, text, or a combination.
  
• Your answer may not reference pornography, software piracy, or other subjects generally considered "not safe for work." Answers may be disqualified based on the judgement of the contest administrators (that's us!)
  
• Answers must be submitted as a response in this thread.
  
• One answer per person.
  
• Sorry, North America only.
  

Entries will be judged by the Frag Dolls. We will look for creativity, originality, quality, and humor.

Submit your answer by July 31st.

Do not discuss the contest in this thread. A separate thread will be created for discussion. This thread is for ANSWERS ONLY. Responses that do not include an answer for the contest will be erased.

Is that 1000GB or 1024GB?

THESE ARE IMPORTANT DETAILS

Toof wants his full terabyte!

And are these 1,000,000,000 byte gigabytes or 1,073,741,824 byte gigabytes? FULL DISCLOSURE PLZ

(Yes, toothy, I know there's gibibytes, but nobody uses that term.)

I would call up my bank and ask why I have a terabyte of storage when they don't even have one. Now I am supposed to trust these people with my account. Look it up some banks don't have the storage.

Whats happened with shipping!!!

In fact i do create lots of animated 3dsmax graphic movies and edit them with video editing softwares along with adding voice and music tracks to it, so this 1Tera thing would have made my life better knowing that i can do my editing without fearing running out of scratch disk space..

I was actually looking at a 1 TB HDD last weekend. The extra disc space always comes in handy considering I am trying to get into the field of Non-Linear Editing and Video Effects. My current motion graphics job does not nessesarly take up that much space but I am in the process of convincing my friend to write something worthy of being feature length and film festival quality. With that, uncompressed video data for a full length movie can take up to 1.5 TB of space. These video effects and CGI take up a lot of space when rendering out in high quality so that terabyte would be used wisely.

I Would Give it to my dad. He has researched our family tree back to 1600 AD with pictures of grave sites and personal photos (and he's still going at it!). With this space he could take it to family reunions so that he may share it with family and expand it as far back as possible. This would mean alot to our family.

Thanks for this oppurtunity!

Hello Girls, Well if I had a 1TB drive I would use it for backing up my game data, Pics of my mom 's trip to Europe, and Pics of my Cat's. As well as Resume's and other such data.

Here are my silly Cats

Here are 2 Pics of just 4 of my Cat's.

I would use that one terabyte hard drive to primarily for video games. With a large hard drive like that I would not have to ever worry about how much space a game cost. I would not have to uninstall a game for another. I would have all my games installed in case I get that random itch to an old game. I would also use that drive to store all my pictures of good times. Good times like hanging out with the Frag Dolls at ECLP, and conventions.

I would use it to log and save every piece of footage I ever recorded on a skateboard of my friends and I. Maybe then I could do a skate video that is actually better than youtube quality crap you often see out there. Keeping those videos High Res takes a lot of space. Plus It never hurts to have extra space for any future endeavors that might come up.

I Would Give it To my Grandma Who Does taxes for a living and Does Book Keeping for alot of people. and That along with my Job pays our rent and Bills. we'e lately have had some computer problems (viresus and junk) and it would Really help her out so she can have all of her contracts, Date, number, personall information in a safe place where no one can steal it. she has a 250g Hardrive. thats Close to being Full.

Thats What id Use it For

I believe I would use it to store all the sigs, wallpapers, and .psd files I've made over the years for these, and other forums. Those things are starting to pile up .

* backup my huge collection of CD's (hundreds)
* use it for my PC backup

Sorry, I don't really have any other awesome plans of grandeur, other than I just friggin' want it.

I would use it to power my super evil robot! And also use it to save the data for my Time Machine! Oh and use the rest for Saving data for my Ray of Death!

The Death Ray that will end The World

Why is a contest sponsored by an international company (Seagate or Ubisoft, take your pick) limited to one part of that company's territory?

Not that it's valid, I would just sit and drool at the potential for all that space.

I'd get braces.

Would back up all of my 3d models, photoshop works, and projects that I do and use it as a travel device if I had no room for anything else. Would be great since all I have atm is some little crappy drive that school gave me, but I already filled it since it has barely enough room to hold all of the programs and projects on it. A good 3d project plus its rendered videos and the final production video (one like we just did at school) can easily go into the gigs (the 3d file on its own was a gig and a half with everything in it). Plus a drive like this always helps when you are trying to get into the game design field. Can never have too much free space.

I would use it to save pictures from trips I go on. I would be able to play all my computer games with out erasing one to download another. I would be able to play computer games with out the horrible lag from not having enough memory. Finally be able to start working on video editing out side of school. Also be able to start working on making video games to help me out for when I go to UAT. Oh and brag to all my nerdy friends that I have more memory for my computer then they do.

Bill Gates once said 64k should be enough for anyone. Of course he was talking about memory rather than disk space, but 64k is one fairly big .txt file.

I personally believe that the people in South Africa and the Iraq and everywhere like such as should have at least 64k of disk space. With a 1TB hard drive I could fix the 3rd world .txt document crisis and see to it that those people (well, about 17 million of those people) can write as much as they want! More .txt documents will lead to more reading which will lead to a better world so we will be able to build up our future for our children
