Yet.

Maybe they will, maybe they won't. I think it might be a while because IIRC they usually max out at 3 platters and right now their top platter density is 500MB (their F2 5400RPM and F3 7200RPM drives).

Thanks for the link, OP. HDD reviews and roundups are not too common, so time to read up!

No Hitachi in that roundup. The Hitachi 2TB 7200rpm 32MB cache drive was $154 after rebate and cash back from ZipZoomFly yesterday and I bet I spent 2 hours looking for a review, lol!

Nice!

Cheapest i've ever seen a 2 TB is the WD Green @ $200 CND, which is too steep considering i've seen 1.5 TBs @ $110 CND...
