Hitachi breaks the 1TB barrier

[morgash]

Well it's been done. One hard drive using perp tech has made it to 1TB. Video and audio editors rejoice lol. This could be a repost but I searched and couldnt find anything. Course everyone knows the search function is f-ed up.

1 year warranty I suppose?

 

[xanis]

Good news for the video and and audio fanatics.. $400 is pretty steep for the average Joe.

Also, we may see 1TB drives from Seagate this summer: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5582

i would assume it's the standard 3 year Hitachi warranty, thats warranty on their current biggest harddrive, a 750gb model. I'm basing this on the smallest amount of google research though so don't quote me.

I don't trust hard drives that large. Too much to lose

Then you buy 5 of them and raid'em up. Of course I don't have 2 grand lying around either.

Do'h! You beat me to it mugs. :|

To OP, this was already on dailytech a few days ago.

 

[Shame]

I misread the topic as ITB. Ouch.

The Internet Archive Wayback Machine contains almost 2 petabytes of data and is currently growing at a rate of 20 terabytes per month. (as of May 2006)[2]

:0

 

[eelw]

The only good news about this is that smaller 300 - 500GB drives will be even cheaper now. As mentioned already, I'm not trusting 1TB worth of data on a single drive.

 

[KarmaPolice]

porn obsessed people rejoice!

 

[KnickNut3]

Is it really 1 TB, or only 1 x 10^12 bytes, which is about 0.90 TB?

 

[Sluggo]

Meh, I'll be impressed when they make a 1TB laptop drive.

800 dollars doesn't seem ridiculous to raid up 1GB x 1 GB

 

[BurnItDwn]

/me rejoices
4 of those, and raid 10, or 5 of them with raid 5 ... and I could have a decent little fileserver for my lan, and not need a TON of drives for it ...
