Jan 5th 2007 - Hitachi breaks 1TB hard drive barrier
http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/05/hitac...th-7k1000/
Now, here we are, 17 months later. 1TB drives are still the largest available desktop hard drive. 17 months! Doesn't it seem like we should be hitting 3TB by now? They have 2 platter 640GB HDs, the 1TB drives were 4 platter, shouldn't we at least have 1.3TB now?
I understand there's a push toward SSD, but those things suck at the moment. (price/performance/capacity)
I'm getting rather impatient...
