Western Digital's had their 2TB GreenPower drives out for a couple of months now.

Yup and now that Seagate has crashed the party Western's days of selling their 2TB drive at $299 will be history.

Hitachi anticipate that extensions to PMR technology will take hard drive advancements out beyond the next two decades, using ever more complex and sophisticated means such as patterned media and thermally-assisted recording. With these technologies, Hitachi predicts that continued areal density advancements would be possible ten plus years into the future. For example, in approximately 2016, 4Tbits per square inch (Tbits/sq. in.) areal density would enable a 25TB 3.5? drive. Beyond that, Hitachi anticipates as much as 100Tbits/sq. in. areal density will be possible, which would enable a 0.65PB (0.65 petabyte, 650 terabyte or 65 000 gigabyte) 3.5? drive.

True. Although some etailers were selling them for $259.

Yes I think HDD manufactures will continue to pump up the storage. Datacenters need fast storage and they need 2nd tier high density storage. There will be a market for large drives that are pennies per Gigabyte.

Good...I'd like to see Samsung hop into the 2TB realm as well.
