When they say “It’s on the slow boat to China,” I think they really might mean “slow boat from China.” But, no matter - today’s topic is about things getting off of those boats. Things like the world’s first One Terabyte HDD, courtesy of Hitachi.
The 1TB barrier has been broken since CES 2007, when Hitachi first announced its new Deskstar 7K1000. Since that point, it’s been all logistics - production ramp ups, and then the long haul in shipping. The drives began shipping in mid-March, and are now starting to reach their destinations.
