Hitachi's Terabyte Hard Drive

$400 !? Seems like a great deal - Hopefully you don't load it up, and then have it crash one you...

TigerDirect and Newegg.

People seem to like it - and with a price $50 over estimated value, it seems good if you need that much space.

I need a solid state drive. Hopefully this will drop the prices for them.

OMG!?!!? Lol your right.

Dell I believe is now shipping a 32 GB solid state drive. It is $500 or so dollars, but, with no moving parts, and less battery usage, the trade offs are seen to be worth it.
