PCWorld.com - PC Drive Reaches 500GB

A half a terabyte and more to come. Good grief, who would have thunk it? I fondly recall my first PC hard drive. It was 5 MEGAbytes with a 5.25" form factor in an IBM PC and its price was $1,000. Fortunately my employer picked up the tab!

"Desktop drive capacity will top out at around 1 terabyte by late 2006, before running into technological problems in maintaining data stability."
