**peat moss** · 03-17-2007, 11:34 AM

Starting today, Dell and Alienware customers purchasing select XPS, Aurora and Area 51 gaming desktop computers can super-size their storage space by adding the world’s first consumer one terabyte (TB) hard drive from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.

The extra hard drive capacity provides enough space to store an incredible amount of data – a million photos, 16 days of DVD quality video or even a million minutes of music.

Probably. I know they went on sale a while back, but I haven't seen them combined or offered with any of the major manufacturers.

Its not something I would worry about when buying a new computer ,as always thought the mobo and cpu were more important . Still shake my head at the options we now enjoy tho .
