Seven One-Terabyte Hard Drives Enter, Seven Leave (But Only One is the Best)
ExtremeTech just compared seven one-terabyte hard drives with varying platter sizes and architectures and discovered that the drives are actually all quite similar, but with minor variations in power, noise and speed. If you're looking for a low power, low noise drive that's lightly slower than the rest—perhaps for a media center box— Western Digital's GreenPower (WD1000FYPS) drives could be for you. If you're looking for the absolute best in performance, then Samsung Spinpoint HD103UJ won most of the tests ExtremeTech ran. And at $260, it's actually the second cheapest drive they tested.

First Hands On with the Only 1TB Drive: Hitachi's 7K1000
We're not sure how this one slipped by us, but the folks at AnandTech quietly got their hands on Hitachi's 7K1000, which is both the first terabyte drive in retail and Hitachi's first 3.5-inch drive to use perpendicular recording (that basically means it records your files vertically, as opposed to horizontally to allow for more storage space). Ok, so is the drive worth your cash? Hell yeah. Here's why... More »

Dell, Alienware Start Selling Towers with 1TB Drives
Got a need for some extra storage space? Dell and Alienware just added the option for you to slap a 1 terabyte drive in one of their XPS, Area 51, or Aurora towers. That's a hell of a lot of space, although whether or not it's smarter to spread your storage out over multiple drives with less capacity or to consolidate everything into one gigantic drive is up for debate. It looks like getting the 1TB bragging rights will cost you $320 more than a 500GB drive, but it's only $20 more than having a 1TB RAID with 2 500GB drives. More »

Hitachi Promises 1TB Hard Drive for 2007
Hitachi plans to release a 3.5-inch hard drive with a 1TB (one terabyte) capacity sometime in the first half of 2007, or The Double-O Seven as I like to call it. (The company, apparently, can't keep a promise, since they originally claimed that it'd have one last year.) This massive hard drive will be christened the Deskstar 7K1000 and will carry a $399 price tag. Can you imagine that, 1,000 gigabytes all in a standard 3.5-inch casing? Usenet, here I come. More »

Hitachi releases 1TB Home DVR/DVD Burner
Hitachi today basically told the competition to kiss off by releasing the DV-DH1000W 1 terabyte HD/DVD burner unto the world. Before a whopping 1TB of space, the max out there was only 500GB. I mean come on, who can live with 500GB? Well apparently not a lot of us. The DV-DH1000W also can be configured with a 160GB, 250GB, or 500GB drives inside and it comes with an iLink port for connectivity. More »
