As far as filling 500GB is concerned, that's not too difficult if you have a family and a digital camcorder. It's probably something like 30 hours or so of raw video.

This means seeking out and downloading videos and music. I expect that the lack of scarcity can be said of bandwidth for many people with broadband access. As well. It takes me months to generate as much traffic as I am allowed on a monthly basis. I think you have to work to fill 500GB of personal storage.
