Admit it, you're a digital pack rat.  You have backup CDs and DVDs strewn about, several external hard drives of varying age and size, and probably a flash thumb drive or three when you need to move files around.  You never seem to have enough space for your entire collection of rare South American butterfly photos and videos.  You've considered those external storage boxes that you slap a few off-the-shelf hard drives into.  But those can be costly before you even buy the first drive.  Not to mention you can't run applications or games off of them because USB 2.0 or Gigabit Ethernet just isn't quite the same as SATA II's 3GB/sec transfer rate.

So you're not sure what to do.  Will you have to abandon your life-long dream to download every episode of Welcome Back Kotter, in every language it was ever broadcast in?  Will you have to start deleting your vacation photos from 1994 when you went to visit the world's largest cheese wheel?  These are tough decisions no technophile should ever have to make.  You deserve more storage space... nay... it is your RIGHT to more storage space!  You should have the ability to store multiple copies of the contents of the Library of Congress on your PC!  Don't stand for hard drive manufacturers forcing you to use 160, 200 or even 500 gigabyte hard drives.  It's time you demanded more!

Well, you're in luck.  Hitachi has finally reached "critical mass" in it's efforts to manufacture and distribute a 1 terabyte drive (well, technically it's 1000 gigabytes, which is 0.976563 terabytes, but those whacky hard drive manufacturers have their own measuring stick).  The Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 is a 7200rpm SATA II drive, and looks to clock in at around $400.  So if you have the cash to lay down, and are worrying about where that next batch of Wombats Gone Wild videos will be stored, start scouring your favorite PC parts stores and sits to see if you can get your hands on them.  As of right now, they're still relatively scarce, with major sites like Newegg.com not yet carrying them.
