>1tb drives

[zmjone2992]

What does everyone think the next biggest drive is going to be? I saw Samsung released their 320gb platters in their lineup, but it looks like the biggest will still be 1tb. And what does everyone think it will jump to? 1.5, 2. Discuss

I've never seen a manufacturer go more than 5 platters, so it looks like about 1.5 based on a 320 GB platter.

In what time frame? Someday I am sure that something like an 128tb drive would not be out of the question.
It's all a matter of time.

EDIT ahhh, the NEXT biggest...
I'm guessing probably 1.25?

well they do have 1.6 tb solid state drives

 

[[LYL]Homer]

1.33tb?

 

[Blazestorm]

1.33tb?

WD has 320gb platters.. 4 platters = 1280... 5 would be a 1.6tb drive...
