Seagate 1.5TB 32MB SATA Hard Drive
If you thought 1tb for $100 was good, how about 1.5tb for $130!
In a world of digitally distributed content, high speed broadband, and the abandonment of optical media, storage is becoming more important than ever. Though SSD technology has really come into its own in recent years for ultra high speed random data access, platter based storage has been evolving just as fast when it comes to vast data storage.
Now, you can get 1.5 Terabytes of storage, in a high quality Seagate hard drive, for only $130. Holy storage Batman!
It is possible that soon the concept of ever deleting anything to free up space, will only be a feint memory.
You can use these fantastic 7200 rpm SATA drives in your desktop, in your NAS, in your Drobo, in your TIVO, or or anything else that takes a standard 3.5 inch hard drive. If you want to pull a Malventano, you can get four or five of these and throw them into a RAID array, and have data access speeds and storage space beyond that of your wildest dreams. These drives even support hot swapping in systems that are compatible with this technology.
As far as support goes, Seagate backs these drives up with a 5 year warranty.
Enjoy!
