Tech Report reports that both Seagate and Hitachi are getting ready to release hard drives with a one terabyte capacity (that's a lot of porn). Both drives use perpendicular recording technology, allowing for 4 x 250GB platters in the case of Seagate and 5 x 200GB platters for Hitachi. The Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 should retail for around $399, no price was given for the Seagate drive.

So do you need an extra terabyte storage controller to go with it ? I assume current NForce/VIA/Intel etc. chipsets don't support such a large disk atm.

Need input!

  I would ASSUME that it would work as long as 48 bit LBA support is there. : sheepraper
  - Yep, 48-bit LBA support can handle it. : Do_Or_Die

Having all my data on one drive scares me. I do not feel like going through all the hassle of setting up a RAID system but I may have to in the future.

Watkins is awesome. I wonder if we'll see the entire interview instead of the highlights. I've never heard a CEO not all stuffy.

I'm looking forward to those!

I've got a lot of videos on my computer, and I usually burn them to DVDs once I've watched them since I've only got 1x ~100GB and 1x ~140GB disks, which really isn't much anymore. Could really use a whooping 1TB drive! :)
