ya a 500 gig hard drive would be ace! i saw a 800 gig in an alienware once, it was also a hiatchi, if you look on there website, and go to custom make one, then go on the hard drive options it goes all the way up to 800 gig

no 800gb hard drives dont exist as of yet but the 1 terabyte hd's are being designed by hitachi and will be ready for us to use by the year 2007

Hitachi Global Storage Technologies on Monday announced plans to build hard drives using perpendicular recording technology that it says could allow for 1TB desktop drives and 20GB microdrives. The terabyte milestone is still a ways off, however, as Hitachi estimates the new drives won't reach consumers until 2007.

Currently, hard drives use a recording method that stores magnetic particles for data in parallel to a disc's surface. Drives using parallel recording can store about 100 to 120 gigabits per square inch. With the new perpendicular method, Hitachi claims drives can store 230 gigabits in the same space.

I agree and HG007 - you can't have that much pr0n!!

Seriously I just see that much HDD a waste for anything other than server use

i cant fill 80gb...............

 

[FarFarAway]

i cant fill 80gb...............

Nope - nor can I. Although my 20gb windows partition is starting to look a little bit full

The other partition has loads of space. Maybe I just don't do all the downloading that others do

 

[Dav0s]

or you keep everything important on bonus discs??

look at this

500GB is, of course, half a terabyte. Half a terabyte. That's a lot of porn.

Whoa that's a lot of storage capacity, mind you my missus would fill one of those in a month with digital photos. But these babies are definitely for the server arena, not desktops

thats very true, but why are hitachi looking at marketing those harddrives into the desktop users? :eh:
