Possibly. Commodity storage has multiplied by more than the order of a thousand in the last 30 years (from less than 1Mb on floppies, around the 100K or 200K mark each IIRC with a person owning just a few, to a 2Tb drive being affordable). As SSDs progressively replace spinning disks the size of such a device will not be an issue, and we'll find ways to make use of the space easily (wall-size TVs playing uncompressed high-DPI high-framerate video? Whole-life recording?).
