1 Terabyte Drive Introduced

Hitachi just came out with a 1 Terabyte internal drive for $500. Now we can start looking forward to these types of drives once this tech hits the 50T barrier.

Incidentally, for planning purposes, the next level is the petabyte (a
quadrillion bytes); and then the exabyte (one quintillion bytes); and then
the zettabyte (one sextillion bytes); and then the yottabyte (one septillion
bytes.)

I can't wait to say "fark, my 1 zettabyte drive crashed and I lost every HD-DVD ever created in the history of mankind. Luckily I have a 10 yottabyte external NAS that I stored a backup copy on." I'm betting on 30 years until I can say that.
