CES 07: 1.5TB hard disk drives in 2008

Ces_07_hitachi_1tb_drive Hard disk capacities have shot up over the past couple of years, and speaking with Hitachi today - which launched it 1TB drive a few days back - the company predicted we could be seeing 1.5TB or 2TB 3.5in drives next year.

A spokeswoman said the company was waiting to see customer reaction first to the 1TB - if it is well received then a bigger capacity will be arriving quicker.

She didn't know if the next drive would be a mere 500GB bigger or doubled to 2TB. But she said: "There will be another capacity jump in 2008."
