I work in the K-12 Education field as a Technical Support Specialist / Web Specialist at the St. Joseph County ISD in Southwest Michigan. I also do a lot of freelance web development in my free time which I absolutely love doing. I am also an avid gamer when it comes to the PC or the XBOX 360 and have been known to enjoy a good LAN party.

ok, hotshot. How many zeros would fill a 650GB hard drive?
650 gigabytes = 5.58345748 × 10^12 bits (Thank you Google Calculator since I didn’t feel like figuring it out myself…lol)
I can tell you that it will take a long time! I did DoD short on 2 400GB drives and verify last pass and it took about 2 days…lol But it fixed the drive issue I was having so I guess it was worth it…
