Hi,

I saw in a Norwegian newspaper that Hitachi is planning to launch a 1tb harddrive for laptops this year! Wow!! That would be sweet!

The link is in Norwegian but I hope it is good anyways!

Peace!

Laptop hard drives are just now getting up past 200 GB. It will be a long time before we see TB hard drives for laptops. We will have probably already done away with mechanical hard drives by then.

Actually it says "corresponding disk for laptops" - that could refer to their 7200 RPM 200Gb disk announced for 1st half of 2007. Corresponding can mean many things - it's reasonable to assume that similar technology for a 2.5" disk will yield much less space.

Here is a rough translation done through an online service.

(Dagbladet.no): For 20 year afterwards be able they buy computers along with harddisks at 20 megabyte. Afterwards has lagringskapasiteten grown approximation eksponensielt, and now comes it first 3,5- inches counter along with capacity at a terrabyte.

A terabyte am matching a cheap the byte, or a million megabyte, or a thousand gigabyte.

Hitachi Globally Bumper Technologies launch a disk for filling station PCer in first block, and shall act on cheer up a matching disk for portables PCer and digital videokameraer.

Deskstar 7K1000, as counter am heating, am celebrated at 399 dollar in USA, or relocated 40 cent per gigabyte, announce News.com.

Facts anticipate also terabyte- counter at more other competitors this year.

A capacity at a terabyte am matching lagringsplass at 250.000 singing in mp3- the formats, of which they assumes that a typical mp3- file is on the four megabyte.

Translation done quickly by me, hopefully a little(!) better than the automated thing above.

Quote:

20 years ago we could buy computers with 20 megabytes hard drives. Since then, the storage capacity has expanded a lot, and soon we will get to see the first 3,5" terabyte hard drive.

A terabyte is a thousand billion bytes, or a million megabytes.

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies is launching a disk for desktop computers in the first quarter, following up with a corresponding drive for laptops and digital video cameras.

Deskstar 7K1000 is the name of the drive, and it's priced at 399 dollars in the US, or about 40 cents per gigabyte, according to News.com.

We will probably also see terabyte drives from several competing brands this year.

The capacity of a terabyte can be compared with storing 250.000 mp3s, given a typical mp3 is about four megabytes.

Considering the biggest laptop drive out now is only 160gig, while the biggest 3.5"er out NOW is 750gig, by the time we have a 1tb laptop drive, we'll also have a 5 terabyte 3.5"er!!! Now there's a raid array worth building!!!!
