Maxtor announces 320 GB hard drives.
Amazing, for sure. But is this the way to go? On a serial ATA spinning at 5400 RPMs? I want the drives to get faster as they get bigger or else it's not that great. How would you ever back that thing up? How long would it take? I think I'd rather have a raid array of 4 80 GB drives.
Still, it's amazing how fast they are scaling these drives (in size if not speed.)
