In early January we have announced the 1 TB (tera-byte) hard disk showcased by Hitachi. Well that product is now available for shipment. In a press release Dell and Alienware announce that the Hitachi hard drive can be included in selected XPS, Aurora and Area 51 computers starting today.

If you don’t realize how much storage the new product can achieve, Dell estimated that a single hard drive can accommodate “a million photos, 16 days of DVD quality video or even a million minutes of music”.

The price for the new hard drive probably depends on the selected system, but we don’t expect it to vary to much from what Hitachi presented in January for the Deskstar 7K1000 ($399). Anyway, additional details can be also found on www.dell.com/XPS and www.alienware.com/desktops.
