    New Hard Drives Hold A Tera Byte Of Data

    Wow....

    Yes, you can now get a terabyte hard drive on a desktop PC. Breaking the ice with a Hitachi drive was Dell, with ?Area 51? game-oriented machines from its Alienware subsidiary. The 1T option initially costs $500.


    In case you?re wondering, as printed text a terabyte would occupy 100 million reams of paper, consuming some 50,000 trees. It is enough to hold 16 days (not hours) of DVD-quality video, or a million pictures, or almost two years worth of continuous music.

                      Better start putting them in raids. A 1TB HD is *a lot* of data to lose if it fails.

                              I have over 2tb across my PC's here, but I think the largest drive I have is around 300gb.. 1tb is too much to trust in a single drive imo

                                      We just put up dual 9.4 TB storage arrays, so man what a nice difference those size drives will make in the future.

                                          that's fantastic news! heh... Will make a nice sized storage array a little easier to build out...

                                                  Most of the people buying the drive will probably not know what RAID is, or that a hard drive can and WILL fail.

                                                          The cost per gig isn't always the deciding factor.
