[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 647257, member: 8704"] Without a doubt, it's the same as saying a sports car can drive 30 miles before a regular car can drive 60. The bigger drives get the faster they have to run just to stay competitive. Formating a larger drive will always take more time regardless, but I have old 1 gig ATA 33 drives that are slower than a 60 gig ultra ATA 133 drive in every way but the formatting. My five year old car is considered very nice and modern, a five year old computer is considered a doorstop. By the time we get a terabyte HD I'm sure the whole industry will have changed. Where I see the Terabyte HD comming into it's own is in the area of video recording. A hard drive of that size could really bring a device like the TIVO into the mainstream, and could bring the idea of a home entertainment center computer to the general masses. It would be huge for the specialty computer product buisness. [/QUOTE]
