Hi

Hitachi’s Deskstar 7K1000 is expensive, but prices will come down as other manufactures will follow no doubt with 1 terabyte HDDs,

Awesome. Roll on the march of technology.

As its perpendicular recording onto the platter i'd hazard read speeds arn't anything to write home about. But write speed (with a large buffer) should be marvellous.

I'd hazard its up there with a Raptor.

Raptors are great HDDs and fast (the gamers favourite) but they do cost , i like Seagate and sea tools is nice to work with so roll on Seagate's 1 TB HDD :D

It is amazing though that we have 1 & 1.5 TB drives now (all though I think they don't exactly equal one tera). Read & write speeds most likely will increase as the weeks/months/years pass. Soon we could have peta hardrives (1000 TB!). I did hear though (don't know if it's accurate or not) but by 2010 were supposed to have like couple hundred TB hardrives.
