Does anyone know when the 1TB hitachi will be on the market??

Use the search, this question has been asked... oh a few times now.
 
I don't see it being answered anywhere.

Only place I find a date is "before april" and it's quite a bit after that point right now.
 
There are a couple of retailers on Froogle that have the item listed. Not sure if it is in stock though.
 
Lol.. sorry.. I searched "1TB hitachi" and "7k1000" and didn't get anything that told me when it would be dropping.

Sorry that I didn't search "well enough" for ya'll. Guess I deserve a spanking?

No. Go sit in the corner! :)
 
I sure am - have you seen what 750GB 7200.10s are at now? $245.50 at ZZF, for about 32 cents a gig. Not a bad deal at all. The 1TB drives are only really useful if you want huge capacity in a small number of drives.

High STR? Yes. Low seek times? No. And in terms of price per GB, it's not nearly as good as the T7K500. That would probably be a better choice for a boot drive or whatnot. My remark was directed more at RAID array builders; capacity per dollar isn't the best on the 1TB drives right now.
