Seagate's New Giant Hard Drive Barracuda 7200.10 750GB Screams to the Top.
Seagate's Barracuda 7200.10 750GB drive, the largest hard drive to date, sets new high-water marks for capacity, price, and performance. Its speed was especially notable on the PC World Test Center's write tests, where it came within a hair's breadth of matching Western Digital's swift 10,000-rpm Raptor X.
Reasonable Price, High Performance.
On a cost-per-gigabyte basis, your wallet won't take a huge hit, either: The SATA version of this drive will debut at $590, which works out to $0.79 per gigabyte. That's higher than the $0.62 average cost of 7200-rpm drives, but it's below the usual $1 per gigabyte paradigm we've seen in recent years when a new drive hits the market.

Aah, this is the kind of hard drive I need for my house computer to store all the videos, movies, songs, games and what not. :p But the motherboard might not support such a huge drive. I think, once I have this then I am all set for at least 10 years without any need for an upgrade hopefully.
