Come on, NOONE needs such capacities in a notebook.
These guys are totally missing market demand.
Persons that use software that needs such capacities are either using a tower PC anyways (because of the performance needed that notebook still cannot match) or are using external HDD arrays since such amounts of data need to be secured in RAID arrays (RAID5 preferrably).

What the market really needs are higher performing hard drives. 2.5" drives really are lagging behind with average rotation speed at about only 5000 rpm (most are 5400, then 4200, then 7200).

A HDD with only one of those 160 GB platters would be perfect, since it would allow for 7200 rpm operation easily.

Xbit has become more interested in hype (fake "shipping" announcements) than actual products.

Xbit has already reported Seagate's shipment of 1 TB drives (and unfortunately other news outlets have quoted Xbit) when Seagate has said they won't ship till the third quarter! Has Samsung quietly shipped too, before the platters have become available?

Xbit - you're losing credibility fast with people who know hard drives. Or perhaps you've already lost it. Anyway, have fun with fiction!

Pravda lives, I guess. :-)

By the time 1 Terabyte Harddisk ship, we all LOST 50 GB :((. 1.000.000.000.000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 950,xxx GB
