4TB storage avail now ~

While SSDs are by now the unquestioned performance kings when it comes to storage, their capacities are still too low and cost-per-gigabyte still too high for them to displace hard drives completely. While SSDs continue to improve at a meteoric rate, hard drive manufacturers aren’t sitting still. Today, we’ll be taking a look at Western Digital‘s latest attempt at pushing back the superparamagnetic limit, the WD RE SATA 4TB drive. The RE stands for RAID Edition in this case and of course the WD4000FYYZ is an enterprise class drive. Whether it’s meant for large-capacity storage on a workstation, or as a way to expand the capacity of a high-load NAS device, this drive is WD’s current cream of the crop for SATA drives. Let’s take a look and see how it measures up.

as for a price on this drive -$389.99 -http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?p=HD-W40FYYZ&c=pw&hash=b17bJrP7amcecOM8cahgmyhydX8acGc4FH9XXwO4xOGcMvbauNziVc0dZ5JTvYPsmm%2BAJAEuMVEB5w4NlYZXHlt5ZtO8aNG85jR97hdOGNw2KMlJYYlqU2S3q80

Wow 4T drives. I'm still using a 500 gig drive that I bought 5 years ago.
