The One Terabyte Hard Drive

Need a terabyte of storage? That’s approximately a thousand billion bytes or a thousand gigabytes. In other words, that is a big load of storage space. If a terabyte is part of your tech dreams, Seagate has just what you need. And it will ship in the fall of 2007:

“Seagate Technology is serving up its first 1-terabyte hard drive. The company is expected to announce Monday that it will offer a retail hard drive for $399 beginning in the third quarter of this year…”

As you might expect from an initial offering, the price is a bit steep. The stated retail price is four hundred dollars US ($399.00 - for the sake of appearances). Chances are that, with a 1-terabyte drive, you won’t be needing additional drive storage space for a while… at least a couple of months.
