Western Digital Breaks 2TB Barrier

News broke on the 26th of a WD Green drive that boasted a healthy 2 terabytes of storage space. For those people stateside the drive appeared a day later. The drive is the largest single drive hard drive available anywhere, and kept pace with Samsung’s and Seagate’s largest competing drives. Drive index speed outpaced several other drives including competitor’s 1TB and 320GB drives. Access time was a little slower than others, but still up to par considering this drive is designed with lower power consumption in mind.

Don’t feel ashamed if you find yourself scratching your head wondering what you could possibly need all that space for, personally I’m stil trying to figure out how to fill a 500GB drive ;)
