From THG:

"...Sunnyvale (CA) - Fujitsu claims that it has developed a key technology that would allow the company to quintuple today's highest commercial storage densities in hard disk media. If researchers will be able to transfer the technology into commercial products, we could see 5 TB desktop drives and 1.5 TB notebook drives in the not too distant future. ..."

Smart people use a desktop and or fileserver for their main needs and a laptop for when they're on the go. Treating your laptop like your mainrig is pretty stupid IMO. If you refuse to have a desktop, build your self a fileserver from an older computer and just hook up a power cord and ethernet cable to the nic from the switch/router. When you get into the realm of several hundred gigabytes and or terabytes, it's a very good idea to have a dedicated machine for that.

(Thats what I have anyways)
