Not much to say about this other than yes, Western Digital will be releasing a 2-terabyte Greenpower 3.5″ HDD. The more important bit of this announcement for me is the fact that this will compress their pricing even further than it already is; I happen to be running out of storage at the moment and am considering buying a couple 1TB drives, which after this week should be $20 or more cheaper.

These 2TB drives should be available some time next week, probably for ~$230. They’ve got a 32mb cache and an 8.9ms seek time, which isn’t exactly stellar, but at 2TB you can’t be picky with your performance specs.
