333,000 high-resolution, 3MB JPEG photos; 250,000 MP3s (4MB per song); about 250 hours of high-definition video--the equivalence of about 125 movies--encoded as 9 Mbps MPEG-4 video - that's the capacity of the new Hitachi 1 Terabyte (1000 gigabytes) hard disk released in the market.
In a world where finding enough storage space is like finding parking slots in rush hour traffic. It is a far cry from the early days of the 5.25 Floppy disks (with maximum storage of 360 KB on a double-sided format). Hitachi Global Storage Technologies was the first to announce the 1-terabyte hard disk drive, and Dell became the first computer manufacturer to offer the 1 terabyte hard disk with their systems from March 2007.
With the Dell price tag fixed at around $540 ( around 2,000 AED) for the 1TB drive, it won't be long before it becomes the standard hard disk in systems at home.
There is a saying “No matter how fast your computer system runs, you will eventually come to think of it as slow.” This can rightly be modified to “No matter how much storage your computer system has, you will eventually come to think of it as not enough.”
