20 drives x 150GB (if desktop drives) = 3000GB=3.0TB
Impressive-RAID anyone?

Why? Well, I work for a legal technology consulting firm that specializes in computer forensics, data harvesting and electronic data discovery. It is not out of the question for us to manage 5+ TBs worth of data for our clients.

I'm not very up to date on desktop specs. Alas, my laptop has much less than even 150GB (actually, I don't think I've seen a 120GB+ laptop hard drive)
