The Terabyte Drives Redefine External Storage
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 02:30 PM
"Maxtor's recent press release sounded exciting: Could 1 Terabyte (1,000 Gigabytes) in an external hard drive actually be true? Well, yes and no. The total capacity of the OneTouch III is indeed 1 TB, but it is achieved by assembling two 500 GB hard drives into one enclosure that is double the size of conventional external hard drive products. Maxtor isn't the first company to offer a product that consists of multiple hard drives. In fact, third party vendor LaCie stands out with its large portfolio of dual and quad drive external storage products: Big Disk, Bigger Disk, Biggest Disk. Still, Maxtor is the first hard drive maker to offer a multi-drive product by itself now."
Tom's Hardware has a massive 16-page review of two terrabyte drives that I'd love to own. :D Check it out.
