Knowing how fast technology advances, I wouldn't waste my money on million year HD.

You know what would happen...

You'd buy that million year hard drive and then 6 months later they come out with a 2 million year hard drive. You're left feeling like a complete idiot, "Man, I just bought a million year drive and it's already obsolete!"
