Hard Drive Density
Recently, the sales have bee running strong, offering 750GB and 1TB hard drives for dirt cheap ($40 for a 750 kind of cheap, with free shipping). I’ve seen 2TB drives popping up around the $100 mark. Why are prices falling off a cliff like this? Is it just a function of drive density? The news suggests that we’ll be seeing 2.5TB and 3TB drives Real Soon Now, with 4TB drives coming sometime next year.
Once I get my new camera, the next move is to upgrade my storage array. I’m looking forward to where we’ll be in 6 – 12 months.
