Wow that means I could make 50 backups of my entire data on one such drive!
Seriously I have no idea what anyone could want with a desktop with one Tb except for excessive (illegal) downloading of movies/music. Also the same data takes often much more space uder NTFS than under ReiserFS as the used space by a file under NTFS is calculated as (size - size % 4k + 4k) which means that in the mean every file uses 2 to 3 kb more space than it is big. Linux applications are also much smaller than many widows-applications (One game can use many Gb). I do not think that any of us even if he does it like me and installs three OS's one one computer will use much more than 200 Gb.


The company is already testing sample drives based on perpendicular recording and says the technology could allow for 1TB desktop drives or 20GB Microdrives in 2007.
