Good article on Terrabyte drives

Actually for 320GB drives, you get 298GB of space. And yes, I can confirm this.

And it's a rip off... say it's a 300 GB and I'll buy it. I can imagine that in 10 years 10TB will be a jk... Long life to the HDD market!!!

And for a 400GB hard drive you get 372GB. Which is why I don't want to get a terrabyte hard drive and have it ben short a ton of GB.

agree on 1TB we loose something like 69GB thats a lot of space. So why they call it 1TB?! It should be 931.322GB!!

Like the artricle said, as soon as WD makes us a new Raptor, they will smoke the competition. A Raid-0 Raptor array is cheap sweetness.

I can easily see most of that storage being used for HDDVD's and Blu-Ray discs ripped/backed up on computers.

I can see it being used for HD content, but if I remember correctly BluRay has already developed a technology for 200gb disc which will replace the backup method of hard drives adventually. DVD\Cd's have never been used commonly because of the lack of space. Machines will adventually have BluRay built right in. Or you may see RAM chips start moving towards storage chips - but they still have not been proven to be quick enough and not large enough.
