This only means that 2TB hdd prices are going to drop more and more since we now have 3 manufactures making 2TB HDD's, yay for everyone...]]>Aug 6th 2009 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/Aug 6th 2009 9:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/Aug 6th 2009 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/
And since Seagate ANNOUNCED their Constellation ES 2TB 7,200 rpm drives some time back, for delivery in Q3 (e.g. some time soon), it isn't at all clear that Hitachi is actually going to be first here.

First off, Bill Gates never said this.

Secondly, the subject was memory (RAM), and the amount was 640KB, and not 64kb.

Lastly, I thought about eating waffles today.

The above points should CLEARLY illustrate that you were wrong.

Hitachi's claims here are technically correct (it's the first 7200RPM drive in that no existing 2TB drive operates exclusively at 7200RPM), but their claims are misleading at best.

Short: Hitachi is bullshitting, they're not the first.
Long: Hitachi is stretching the truth, they're technically the first, but not in the sense that they're leading you to believe.]]>Aug 6th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/06/hitachi-one-ups-wd-with-industry-first-2tb-7200rpm-3-5-inch-hard/
