It's currently 150+.  Why don't they just make it a terabyte and no one
can fit it on their comp?

 
You _don't_ have a multi-terabyte drive?
 
What, you think it's 2010 or something?

Hell I even have a 1TB USB Stick.

I've gotten the non-VIP treatment from Best Buy and Dell recently.  They
gave me the runaround on big hard drives and I ended up with a couple
comps with half a terabyte each for the last four yrs.  Maybe I will
look into wired external hard drives for a bit, since that could be
good.  I wonder what the data rate is like for those.

Eewww pre-builts!
These always come with less than stellar components in order to maximize
profit.  The components may be decent quality, but they're always the
older and smaller, with the least possible amount of upgradeability.
[A MB that has just one SSD slot they've filled with a 320 or 500GB
drive, no SATA, and oh yeah, only 2 ram slots, filled with the least
amount they can get away with.   Upgrading isn't adding to existing, but
replacing them, and then your stuck with the substandard junk they
saddled you with.]

There's a reason pre-builts have this stuff in them, it does not sell
and they need to get rid of it.
  
Build your own and you get exactly the hardware you want.

External HDs are ok for storage or watching movies/listening to music,
but you would not want to game from one.
