Ive really learned to trust Seagate with the new 1.5TB's (Despite some people having problems)

If its one thing I can guarentee is Seagates 2TB will be cheaper then Western Digital, Seagate really did it right when they priced the 1.5TB, it started at around $190 (Just 6 months ago, when 1TB's were the same price), and now they are a constant $130, while 1TB's are just a tad cheaper

My guess is Seagate will price them at $200 TOPS, compared to WD's $300 2TB :/]]>Feb 3rd 2009 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/

If you had read their forums or just about any of the related knowledge base articles, you'd know that the ES.2 versions were just as affected. I didn't run around for several days flashing affected ES.2 drives just for fun.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/
I find I am having a hard time accepting a drive that large. I guess I feel more comfortable knowing my data is spread across multiple cheaper drives and I won't have a freakin' heart attack the next time it decides to go south for no reason.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/Feb 3rd 2009 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/

Here's hoping the firmware updates don't render it a monolith.

This drive is out of this world...
This drive will hold more data then uranus...
This drive is the biggest in the universe...
This drive should be able to fit BSG/SG1/FF/etc...

mine aren't that great, come on guys wheres all the good puns at?

Actually, since we're not all in the USA and some of us don't want to think about when your summer is (or work out, for every webpage, where the author comes from and which audience they're likely to be aiming at), I think that "calendar Q3" is a far superior phrase than "this Summer."

It's called the INTERNet for a reason, you know! :-)

I get all starry-eyed thinking about 2 Terabytes.

There's a lot of space on that drive.

I've been waiting many moons for this to come out.

They're light-years ahead of the competition with this drive.

The sales numbers for this drive will rocket off the charts!

This runs rings around other drives.

Sales of lower capacity drives are going to crater.]]>Feb 3rd 2009 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/Feb 3rd 2009 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/03/seagates-2tb-constellation-es-is-ripe-with-potential-space-puns/
