Seagate 1tb HDD... when??

[dannyaa]

I saw this was announced "first half 2007" back in early Jan. Haven't heard a thing since.

When is Seagate's 1TB drive suppossed to hit? Any idea when an announcement may be?

I'm waiting for this so it drops the 500gb and/or 750gb drive prices downwards...

anyone?

and - when the drive comes out, is it expected to significantly drop prices of the 500gb or 750gb, or should those remain somewhat stable at $150/$260 with the new drive coming in at $400?

Interesting Timing for your question...today AnandTech posted a review of Hitachi's 1TB HDD. The Benchies were quite impressive, and it costs just $399.

In the first page of the review they mention that the Seagate 1TB has been delayed to Q2 2007.
