No sooner do I post a blog about storage space getting bigger while form factor gets smaller, then along comes another big player in the storage market with another milestone. It seems Western Digital has announced the first 1 Terrabyte 2.5 inch mobile drive. WD claims a 3GB/s transfer speed as well.
MSRP on the 1TB model is $249.99, not a bad price considering what it is. I would, however, look for the price to come down quickly in the next year. The drive also comes with a 3 year warranty.
This is excellent news for those who need 1TB of portable storage, or those looking for a laptop with more than about 600GB storage currently available.
There is a 750GB model available as well, but the big news is the 1TB drive. When will it end? I don't know, but I'm glad they keep pushing the envelope!
To Your Success,
Tim
