1. "making less platters with higher capacity is more preferrable THAN manufacturing more platters with lower capacities"

2. cant complain about a 1TB hdd ;)

3. this wud atleast make hitachi and seagate think about reducing their retail prices

it'll be interesting to see the price of this one

4. platter 334GB....WOW..

5. The more platters and the more heads the more likely it is to fail. Its probably worth waiting for when they have 500GB's per platter. so that theres only two. If thats how it works. I don't know. Not to mention how much of the 1TB you actually get. My drive was 250GB's. But I only have 233 of it.

Yeah I usually like to stick to HD which only have 2 platters but 3 is still not too shabby.

6. Wow, and I thought that Seagate dropping it to four platters was a step forward. Talk about kudos for Samsung.

Any other disk manufacturers care to play catchup?

7. Samsung seems to be on track to become the BEST HDD maker. They have the highestes areal density and for desktop application and we should get into seeing them leading the HDD industry in future.

8. When this HD will be available in the store?

9. Samsung Quietly Ships 1TB Hard Disk Drive. Quiet is the "bon mot". Here it is nearly 5 months later and no sign of the drive shipping...
