Seven year ago when i was in my 12 th std, my computer teacher said in next 10 years you can find PC hard disk of capacity 50 gb. At that time 4gb hard drive was biggest in the town. His predictions have gone wrong. In the next 2 years we got hard disk of capacity 20 GB. Yesterday Hitachi announced its launching of 1 terabyte hard disk. The company announced that, in the first quarter of 2007 it will launch 1 TB hard disk for PC, subsequently in the second quarter for digital video recorders. Hitachi has priced the 1 TB disk around 400 us$, making 1 GB= 40 cents.
Its obvious that with in a month of its release, iam sure that seagate will release its version.( Seagate also sells a home storage device with two 500GB drives to make up 1 terabyte.)
The hard drive turned 50 last year, and over the past five decades data capacity has increased at a fairly regular and rapid pace. The first drive, which came with the RAMAC computer, weighed about a ton and held 5MB of data.
Soon we can have hand help media player with 100 gb capacity in an affordable price
