Worlds First Terabyte Harddrive Announced

As everyone who works with audio recording will know, the raw audio file sizes can really start to add up quickly. So quickly in fact, that even the large hard drive capacities that we take for granted these days can soon be filled to the brim.

Thankfully however, as technology keeps striding forward relentlessly, the maximum hard drive sizes keep increasing. It seems relatively recently that the 500 Gigabyte harddrives were launched by some of the leading manufacturers, and that was just another step on the ladder of progress.

Hitachi has just released news of their latest offering in the ultra sized hard drive category - the World's first Terabyte harddrive. For those not familiar with that term, that's 1000 Gigabytes!

1000GB's should be plenty for most musicians DAW machines I'd imagine.

These drives should be available second quarter of 2007, and have a RRP of $399.
