I just bought a 1TB harddrive for school and (hopefully haha) future work. So basically it's my child until I die or until they come up with an even more efficient way for file storage.

I dragged all the applications that I need, and my portfolio, typefaces, blahblah, all work related. And then I paused because I was contemplating whether or not I should drag all my photos onto my harddrive. Well, I did, but I was thinking about how much it actually doesn't matter. People lament when their music collection gets wiped out, or if they lose all their photos, but how often do you listen to that song or how often do you even look at that photo buried under all your folders? What does it matter anyway, in the context of the present? Candid photos are nice to look at, for the sake of nostalgia, but there's always new memories to create. Especially in this day and age... I feel like amateur photography has lost its meaning.
At my parents' house we have albums and albums of photos developed from film. That all stopped within the last decade though, now we just have folders and folders of photos that just sit on my dad's computer, away from plain sight and away from your thoughts. You didn't even care about the photos from the winter of 2003 until you lost them...
