Seagate Reaches 2.5 Terabyte Capacity

Desktop hard drives have been measured in gigabytes for the last twelve years or so. Seagate plans on ending this pattern by introducing their new drives. They will be released in varying capacities depending upon platter size and quantity. Their largest platter density consisting of four platters is 750 GB x 4. Which equals 2.5 Terabytes in a single drive.

Are gigabytes about to become a term of the past such as megabytes have?

Actually, until the mass production price can be brought down, GB has nothing to worry about.
