Finally an official release!
overcockers have them on pre-order at £206.99 - so sub 200 from other places looks likely

thats the biggets platter density so far isnt it?
1tb is £70-80... thats some premium for having it all in one drive. Once it hits £150 I'll consider it but its a lot of data to trust to one drive so many people will be buying two.... Ouch!
Yup. 500GB/platter vs 375GB/platter for the Seagate 1.5TB drive.
£204 is the cheapest on Google Shopping (http://www.hp-sales.co.uk/products.asp?partno=WD20EADS)
You generally always pay more for the highest density drives. The exception being the 1.5TB seagate which can be had for about £115.
I want 5 for one of my NAS boxes
hmm these would fill up my:

which i ordered yesterday,quite nicely
However think i might take the cheaper 1TB option, its quite a saving.

It would be interesting to hear your experiences with the SQASH and even better with those drives in. I am considering a WHS system but am not ready to really splash the cash!hmm these would fill up my:

Not around too often!
Wooooooooooo. Bring on the 1tb price drops!...Hopefully
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Bring on single platter 500GB drives.I might be able to afford those...
Is it likely the 1TB and 1.5TB drives will use the same platters?
Not automatically.
It is likely they will release new model drives that have these higher density platters though. For example it's rumoured the Seagate 7200.12 series is going to be 500GB platters, probably with 2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB and 500GB drives being available.

Sounds tasty!
Would love one of these for my HTPC, but the price needs to come down first. My 750Gb is bursting at the seams!

Ooooo, anyone fancy lending me one of these so I cna test it in my Terastation, could live with 4 of these in the box instead of 2 Terastations with 4x500Gb drives in it...
Re: News - Western Digital launches the world's first 2TB hard drive
Should be at 1pb anyday now then... 2TB is huge. Nice to know computers still amaze me.
