Understandably there was no need that much capacity.But now the world has need 3TB and above. And Seagate are ready to serve. According to a report in Thinq, Seagate has confirmed that his company would "announce 3TB drive this year."
This is good news for consumers. First, 3TB unit will be available, which is 50% larger than the largest single hard disk bid at this time (2TB). Second, the presence will drive down the price of 1TB and 2TB hard disk, so that more and cheaper to create a new RAID box with 2TB drives the 'old'.
