Just this week I mentioned that you could now get 300GB on the move in the form of a 2.5" HD. Now Hitachi have announced that we can get 1TB in a single drive (Hitachi breaks 1TB hard drive barrier with 7K1000).

A few years ago 1TB sure sounded like a lot, but with the amount of digital media even the average person stores now, 1TB seems remarkably tiny. The benefit of 1TB in a single disk is the reduced heat and electricity required to run the drive, compared to two, or even four drives that you might have required before.
