Single terabyte...errr 930GB hard drive released

[Spazosaurus]

IMAGINE ONE THOUSAND thousand thousand thousand bytes. A terabyte, if you will. But more than just that—a milestone in storage capacity that hard drive manufacturers have been chasing for years. After more than a decade of living in a world of gigabytes, the bar has finally been raised by Hitachi's terabyte-capacity Deskstar 7K1000.

Being first to the terabyte mark gives Hitachi bragging rights, and more importantly, the ability to offer single-drive storage capacity 33% greater than that of its competitors. Hitachi isn't banking on capacity alone, though. The 7K1000 is also outfitted with a whopping 32MB of cache—double what you get with other 3.5" hard drives. Couple that extra cache with 200GB platters that have the highest areal density of any drive on the market, and the 7K1000's performance could impress as much as its capacity.

o_O @ price. I could certainly do with one of these right now though.

dude this been released months ago...

Was announced since early January of February

Amazon have it available for US$414.00 since April

In any case my 4 hard drives in my system give me LITERALLY 1TB storage 

(and it go be a lot cheaper to have 2 500GB in RAID0)
