    0.5TB drives on their way

    I know some of you out there already boast >1TB RAID arrays, but we are growing ever closer to 1TB on a single drive. Hitachi are now half way there with the new drive which they are releasing...
    The Hitachi drives being released include the industry’s first half terabyte (500 GB) Serial ATA (SATA) drive for audio/video and other capacity-intensive applications – the Deskstar 7K500. In the mid-range category, Hitachi offers the Deskstar T7K250, a two-disk, 250 GB product, while the Deskstar 7K80 rounds out the portfolio with an 80 GB offering, targeting the most popular capacity point.
    More details over at GeekZone.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Looks like I'll be forgetting what a megabyte is soon. Gigabytes all the way!

    mmm i wonder what the accessable capacity will be - probably around 450gb? lol - hard drives used to be struggling to get to 50gb, now we're losing that down the back of the sofa.
