Was thinking the same thing.

Maybe if the price is right then you can buy 2 & not worry about loosing 750GB worth of data

Edit: Any other manufacturer adopting the same technology, i.e. perpendicular?

The pricing on this drive is going to be insane though. Although not exact, the idea we've been give, expect around £325-350 +VAT.

Can't see Seagate selling many of these considering for £164.85 +VAT you could just have 3x 250GB. Another £55ish and you've got 1TB for over £100 less.

I don't think this drive is aimed at the home user

how on earth is that going ot help you store files lol.

I'd like a drive with that much storage, my 320gb is currently maxed out, and I have about 30 dvd's i've had to backup onto to free space.

Some people like to dedicate a huge drive just to their porn collection.

I can see them being very happy now
