Hitachi 7K1000 1TB Hard Drive

World's first 1TB hard drive
Very good transfer speeds
32MB Cache
Rupee/GB ratio turns out to be expensive
Runs a little hot

Surface Temperature
Hitachi 7K1000 1TB : 47 Degrees Celcius
Western Digital Raptor 150 GB WD1500ADFD : 41 Degree Celcius

Conclusion
Recently our IT department carried out a major upgrade and replaced all the 750GB hard drives they were using in their 24-bay servers with the 1 TB 7K1000. The primary reason for the replacement was to increase the per-bay capacity from 750 GB to 1TB.

The 7K1000 costs Rs. 19,300 and comes with a 3 year warranty. On the other hand a 500GB hard drive would set you back by around Rs. 6700. Two of them together would cost you a little more than Rs. 13,000. So the Rupee/GB ratio turns out to be a little expensive for the 1TB drive. So unless you are really strapped for SATA ports or drive bays you should opt for two or more 500GB hard drives or wait for prices to come down. Trust me hard drive prices fall pretty rapidly.

Otherwise the transfer speeds of the hard drive with a spindle speed of 7200 RPM as compared to the 150 GB 10,000 Raptor are very good though it runs a little hot.
