Hitachi’s 1 Terabyte Drive
This 3.5 inch, vertical drive is the first for Hitachi. The Deskstar 7k1000 has perpendicular recording ability allows for more storage space. The price of the drive is pretty reasonable too. For $399 you’ll get 1 terabyte of diskspace (or exactly 931.5GB) that means you can store all your movies, music collections and pr0n stash if you have any all in one single drive. Performance wise, the guys at Anandtech said that it could rival the Western Digital’s Raptor, which has a 10,000rpm, and storage space of 150GB. Hitachi’s has 7,200rpm and a SATA interface.
I suggest waiting for the price to drop and buy two of these harddisk so that you can create a mirror for backups. So if you lose 1 harddisk (they sometimes fail for no reason) then u have another one to back it up.
