Hitachi has announced their first 3.5-inch hard drives featuring 1 TB of storage capacity per disk (platter). It means that from now on, we will have on the market high-capacity hard drives with fewer platters and heads. With fewer components, hard drives’ prices tend to drop (at least we hope so). The first products to utilize 1 TB platters will be launched within Hitachi’s Deskstar and CinemaStar series, with capacities ranging from 250 GB to 1 TB. All models will have SATA-600 interface and 32 MB of buffer. Information on pricing was not provided.
