External hard-drives anyone - another victim to convenience? Cloud storage is really cheap (think Dropbox) and more accessible provided an internet connection is available. When I think of external hard-drives, pirated movie and music storage comes to mind. Users are pirating less in the DVD copying and torrent downloading sense, instead streaming either pirated or paid legitimate media (Netflix, Hulu). Local hard-drive capacity is less of an issue too. Users don't need to store gigabytes of media anymore.
