with games crossing the 6GB Mark, High Definition movies/videos becoming popular and your ever increasing Music collection, it was about time 1TB HDD Made it to mainstream
Hitachi Global Storage has launched 1TB SATA HDD, see specs and price below:
1000GB (actual size would be around 930GB or Less)
7,200Rpm
32MB Buffer
SATA II 3Gbps Interface
3.5″ Size
700Grams gross weight
Price: $400
nice but the formatted space is likely to piss loads of people off, the larger HDDs get, the more space you will lose when the drives are formatted, in case you still don’t know, HDD maufacturers don’t look sizes as we do; for us, 1MB = 1024KB, for them 1MB = 1000KB
do the math 🙂
Note: many companies launched external 1TB HDDs, a good example would be LaCie 1TB External however, they were mainly 250GB x 4 HDDs Stacked together. and hence weren’t true 1TB, come to think of it, nor is this one 😛 when 1.3TB, 1.5TB HDDs start selling, then you’d finally get a true 1TB (1024GB) HDD.
