For the longest time, hard drive capacities seemed locked at 250 GB, a temporary wall only recently broken down. Hitachi was the first to offer a larger capacity 500 GB drive, but the process used to achieve that size involved the traditional method of longitudinal recording as well as a large number of rotating discs (so-called platters). Now we've got the first of the perpendicular drives on our testbed with others sure to follow soon.

by changing the way data is stored from longitude to perpendicular its allows up to 1TB/in2 as opposed to 100-200GB/in2 which = h00ge discs

very impressive size and how they have achived it. But i'd wait till they are cheaper to buy than 3x250Gb.

all hardware when its state of the art is stupidly expensive

That's one hell of a lot to loose in one go if it goes belly up, would want some serious RAID mirroring for that large a drive.
