[quote The Grim Ninja]Jan 5th 2007 - Hitachi breaks 1TB hard drive barrier

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'm getting rather impatient...
On the other hand, 1TB and 750GB drives are much cheaper than they were in early
2007. That's progress of a sort.
