1TB Hard Drives are here
Well it had to happen eventually… Hitachi is shipping their 1TB HDs to Dell, whom are selling them for a $500 upgrade fee (default HD is 250GB which is worth about $90) with a new PC. It has a 32Meg buffer (that’s bigger than my first PC’s HD). Hitachi isn’t selling the drive separately yet, but it will probably be $600 when they do.

PS: it took a long time to go from 1,000 MB to 1,000 GB when the Fireball 1GB came out, and at $1 per meg, it seemed like a steal too. I won’t be holding my breath for the first 1PT (petabyte) drive. But since I’ve started to use FLAC instead of MP3, is it doesn’t degrade my music, songs now take up about 25MB each, so a 1TB drive is tempting for my next PC I’m going to build this year.
