Hitachi First To The Terrabyte

A Hard Disk Platter, photo by ntdt

Well, Hitachi managed to raise the bar…they are just about to release a 1Tb hard disk. I thought I would do some playing with the figures to put it into perspective.

1Tb = 1024Gb = 1,048,576Mb

= 455,902 three megapixel photos

= 9, 532 high bitrate albums in mp3

= 745,654 double density floppy disks, a stack about 250m high.

or for the more old-school among you…

= about 354,681 copies of War and Peace

…doesn’t seem that big really.
