A 1TB hard drive
« on: April 06, 2005, 06:51:44 AM »
Has anyone seen anything about this story?

A hard disk drive unit of Japan's Hitachi Latest News about Hitachi Ltd. said Monday it has developed a technology that will set the stage for a one-terabyte 3.5-inch drive or a 20- gigabyte Microdrive.


Sheesh, I still remember back in the early 90's when I thought one gigabyte was huge. :-o

@jlariv8957,

I do video production. I have over 500GB of harddrive space and still having to delete and archive things constantly.



This is true.  No matter how big they make these hard drives we will always find a way of filling them up.

adonay :-D


Just think how much HD space you will need when High Def video becomes the standard.  I suppose that games will be able to add more data because of more room to store the stuff.  Also, I hate to think how big the windows (or any system for that matter) swap file will be when these drives come out
