Western Digital Starts Shipping 3TB, 2.5TB Internal Hard Drives
This goes back to the days of DOS when the LBA (logcial block addressing) standard was developed and is the main reason why Seagate, despite releasing its 3TB external drive way back in June, hasn’t released the hard drive itself on the market just yet. It’s a fustercluck of compatibility, but apparently Western Digital feels the world is ready for these drives. Fine with us. We can read a compatibility chart.
These drives aren’t all that expensive with the 3TB shipping for $239 and $189 for the 2.5TB version. Although unless you’re low on hard drive trays and must have the absolute most storage possible, 2TB hard drives are still a little better deal right now with a few options available around $100.
