The First One Terabyte Hard Disk Drive

On January 4, 2007 Hitachi Global Storage Technologies [San Jose, California] announced the first 1-terabyte hard disk drive. 

"According to Hitachi, the drive ships in the first quarter of 2007, and will cost $399--less than the price of two individual 500GB hard drives today. The drive, called the Deskstar 7K1000, will be shown this weekend in Las Vegas at the 2007 International CES, also known as the Consumer Electronics Show, as well as at the Storage Visions storage conference" (http://www.pcworld.com/article/128400/hitachi_introduces_1terabyte_hard_drive.html, accessed 06-04-2009).
