Samsung and Seagate reach 1 terabyte of hard drive capacity
Not the highest-rated hard drive maker Hitachi, however, did it more than one month ago. The Japanese 7K1000 series disc was equipped with 5 plates with a recording density of 200 GB (10 heads), which was not a new development in Hitachi.

Sammy (as Samsung is affectionately called) and Seagate based on 3 plates of 334 GB each and 4 plates of 250 GB each (8 heads), respectively, keeping parameters such as weight, noise and power consumption at a minimum, and look advantageous to Hitachi .

We are waiting for the first tests and impressions. And something suggests that the emergence of hard drives with a volume of 1.5-2 times the current threshold, is not far off.
