New computer hard drives run at 1 tb!
|
Isn't a terabyte a 1000 gigs? I didn't know this was a big deal. Yesterday at BB I purchased an external USB hardrive (laptop user) with 250gig for $99, and they had external terabyte drives for $449 with IEEE 1394 and USB.
I saved a small forest! |
1tb hdd will rock. cant wait for 2nd generation and the price to come down.
|
Yeah, I've been seeing 1TB external drives for quite some time now, AT LEAST a year, maybe two.
|
Terabyte drives might be old news in professional multimedia systems but I bet no one's running a yottabyte drive. Now that would be something.

Pete beat me to it, but yes, all those drives are made up of two hard drives in one enclosure.

One question though, apart from being cheaper to manufacture, what would be the benefit of a single drive over a multiple one? |
You can put two 1tb drives into one case to make a 2 tb drive. It's also more efficient.

In short does size matter? |

I can say I have a tendency to want to have 4 250GB external drives around and swap them as I need them. If any one of them dies I still have 75% of my files. If I have one great big TB drive and it fails.....I have 0% of my files. At this point in time I can easily handle HD projects and not exceed 250GB so I am OK. |

Also note that the next increment after the terrabyte drive (or drive set) is the petabyte drive. These are used to store petafiles (sorry, I just had to). |

Just told my wife your petafile joke, she looked at me like I was mad:) |

Are you sure this is just 2 500GB discs? Because they do have a version of this that is 2 discs that is 2TB, and this has been out for quite some time. |
