Yeah I noticed that too, which makes me think, why would I ever buy the 1TB drive when 1.5 is CHEAPER? And $4.50 more for another 500GB? Probably taking that

- lukeschlather 15y agoHigher bit density from the same manufacturer at a similar price suggests a less reliable drive.
- jodrellblank 15y agoOr that the smaller one is older and you're paying a price for that niche effect. (e.g. at the very low end, you can't get a 20Gb disk for $0.99, what you typically get (not right now though) is a large range of sizes, say 160Gb to 1TB, all within a few dollars). 1TB drives were first announced in Jan 2007, nearly 5 years ago, is that long enough to push them out of the main manufacturing effort?
