That’s not a misprint by the way.
Western Digital has recently launched the world’s first 2 terabyte drive. Consisting of 4 500GB platters, this baby will make you cry the moment it crashes. However, given WD’s reputation as the most reliable drive maker, I doubt it. But if you did decide to bite the bullet on this, be sure to get 2. Hell, get 3 and RAID-5 them!
Early benchmarks by HotHardware looks enticing. The drive does have above average performance. 90MB/s read and 80MB/s write, but with a 14ms seek time. So it’s best to use it as a storage drive and not the main OS drive.
Wonder if this will push the cost of current batch of harddrives down.
