I wonder how long it will be until Seagate comes out with a terabyte
(or bigger) hard drive.

They were all gourmands!

Considering the hitachi T is $400 and the seagate 750 is $199, I'd
say there's no rush.

Those $400 will get a lot smaller when there's more TB drives on the
market. So unless you really need the hard drive now, I'd wait a few
months or so to see if other hard drive maker offers TB sized drive at
a more competitive price.

Or get 2 of those 750GB and a RAID card and laugh at your friend or
neighbor who paid too much for only 2/3rd of what you got.

Just saw an ad from Samsung for their own TB drive. They claim 3
platters and low noise and energy consumption (which I believe
since Samsung was the best on energy and among the best on noise
so far).
