There have been a lot of debates over the amount of storage space used in a computer. After all, how much is too much? No one can answer that for sure. But it's also true that in the very-near future, ultra-high capacity hard drives (according to today's standards) are going to be the norm. Yes, I'm talking about those 1TB (maybe more) monster drives that just love to gobble up all your music, movies, games, and everything else!

I already ahve 3 250g HDDs.. Hate plugging them in. I wud rather have one 1TB HDD and just be done for a year or so. 3. Its around 11.5k now. by IronHair from delhi on 22/05/08 03:01 AM Report as offensive Why don't they make it 7.2K rpm? It would then be a great performer. I'm unable to understand how they're able to get that kind of performance with 5400 rpm. by dookie from Bangalore on 21/12/07 11:08 AM    Report as offensive i have one of those by dan from santa clara, CA on 21/12/07 05:24 PM    Report as offensive Under page 4 (specifications), the second level heading under electrical specs should be "Power Requirements", NOT "Current Requirements" :-) by Mani from Bangalore on 20/12/07 11:57 PM    Report as offensive LOL! Yeah. I thought it was current power requirements! :P Anyways, the correction as suggested will be appreciated. by Manoj Sterex from Bangalore on 21/12/07 10:45 AM Report as offensive WD10EACS 1 TB hard drive is available for $ 260 in USA- equivalent of Rs. 10000. Indian pricing of this product is ridiculous. and only fools can purchase this in India, i certainly would not do so, unless the price comes down to atleast 7-8k. by vijayshimla from Shimla 171001 on 20/12/07 10:00 PM    Report as offensive I totally agree- especially when the electrical supply distribution in India is rather a major cotributor for HDD failures and as such venturing for SUCH high capacity drives might lead to repenting when it fails by mvs sarma from Hyderabad on 21/12/07 08:27 AM
