Hitachi does 1TB drives 2.0

BuddyJ Peter G. 10 Jul, 2008 at 1:42pm ET Article published in Tech

Hitachi was the first company to release 1TB drives in 2007 with the 7K1000, and now they’re revising their offering to be more energy efficient with the new 7K1000.B
The new drive is supposed to be 43 percent more power efficient than its predecessor, and will use 5.2W. It sports a 16MB cache, and a max media transfer rate of 1388 Mbits/s.

The price is undisclosed and it ships later this month.

    10 Jul 2008 ~ 2:13pm Kwitko Advances in hard drives amaze me more than advances in processors. If you graph processor speed increases over the same time frame as areal density increases, drives blow away processors. So now that they might have finally hit the areal density plateau, I guess the next step is to "green" the drives. Maybe we'll have a time when physical drives match SSDs in terms of power consumption. Imagine a 2TB drive that consumes as much power as your flash drive?:eek:
