BREAKING NEWS! Computer storage to get faster, bigger, cheaper! STOP THE PRESSES.

I am surprised at that hitachi wouldn't focus more on solid state mass storage. Less likeliness for failure, I would think.

Oooo who's in a sarky mood already today!

I thought its a fairly large jump from current 2TB to more than double in supposedly less than a year especially as Hitachi are lagging behind in the HDD size race...

It would be good to see the SSD for mass storage market really take off - I guess its just really starting to become a serious option if not a little pricey.

Agreed, Ben. Hitachi is the #1 & only on my buy / recommend list these days and it's good to hear of them expanding their line. I think as SS becomes more accepted and mass produced, the price will come down. Companies like SanDisk, Kingston and Transcend will become household names.
