2 Terrabytes with 136,000 photos is around 14 Mb/picture, typical of a good
modern camera.
A hell of a lot to lose if it goes wrong!!!!

2 Terabytes. 136,000 images? How small are those images, let me find the
calculator.
Anybody think downloading those images to the computer is going to be fun?
How about scrolling through them to choose the ones to have printed? What
a blast.
Even for movies it doesn't make sense to me. Pros, whose movie files are
large, are shooting directly to their computers, I suspect. And 2
Terabyes is too small to replace an analog hard drive in a computer. I'd
get excited when they get up to 8 Terabytes.
In addition, there is the card failure/loss consideration. I don't even
want a 4 Gig card, thanks.
