According to the companies <a href="http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/08/07/tdk.2.5tb.hard.drive.plans/">recently released roadmap</a>, a 3.5 inch 2.5TB drive design is currently being tested which will feature a new 640GB platter. This would allow TDK to leapfrog Seagate, Hitachi and even Western Digital who are still working with 500GB platters. <span> </span> </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Mass production is currently planned for November of this year and will most likely result in drives hitting the street on or around late January or early February 2010. TDK is also investing heavily in the production and testing of a new 320GB platter for 2.5 inch drives which will result in low power, high performance 640GB notebook drives around the same period next year.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Sure this is a far cry from the <a href="/article/news/hitachi_harvest_5tb_hard_drive_2010">5TB Hitachi</a> was promising for 2010, but TDK can still be king for a day right?</p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/news/tdk_looks_deliver_25tb_drives_early_2010#comments News 2.5 terabyte hdd build a pc Hard Drive hardware HDD hitachi storage tdk Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:42:09 -0500 Justin Kerr 7340 at http://www.maximumpc.com http://www.maximumpc.com/article/pdf_archives/december_2008_2009_technology_preview <!--paging_filter--><p> <a href="http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC1208-web.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="/files/u53951/december2008.jpg" alt="July 08 Maximum PC pdf - click to download!" width="200" height="266" align="right" /></a>In the <a href="http://dl.maximumpc.com/Archives/MPC1208-web.pdf" target="_blank">PDF archive</a> of the December 2008 issue you can find:</p> <ul> <li>2009 Technology Preview!</li> <li>Netbook Roundup</li> <li>Learn GIMP secrets</li> <li>Awesome Product Reviews, including ATI's Radeon 4870 X2</li> <li>Ask the Doctor</li> <li>Rig of the Month</li> <li>The Watchdog</li> <li>And a whole lot more!</li> </ul> <p> Click the big giant cover image to the right to download the PDF aarchive today! </p> http://www.maximumpc.com/article/pdf_archives/december_2008_2009_technology_preview#comments PDF Archives From the Magazine 2.5 terabyte hdd 2009 technology preview ati&#039;s radeon 4870 x2 fastest ssd ever gimp GIMP tutorials intel&#039;s next gen cpu netbook roundup new gpu pdf archive pdf archives USB 3.0 December 2008 2008 Wed, 14 Jan 2009 19:33:47 -0600 The Maximum PC Staff 4895 at http://www.maximumpc.com
