WD Launches 3TB Hard Drive

WD has announced that it is now shipping a 3.5-inch 3TB internal hard drive for US$239 and a 2.5TB version for US$189.

Frankly, we were hoping for newer, cheaper solid state drives to be released soon but we'll take a 3TB drive too if that's not possible. WD's latest hard drive has such an enormous capacity that you'll surely need a fiber optics line to fill it up fast. First seen in its external HDD solution, this 3TB Caviar Green drive is now available separate from its housing and it comes with an Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI)-compliant Host Bus Adapter (HBA), that will ensure the OS can recognize its huge size properly.

Engadget - You know that 3TB hard drive that Western Digital slapped into its range of My Book external units earlier this month? Looks like it's finally ready to free itself from those shackles. WD has today announced that it's shipping the component 3TB Caviar Green drive (WD30EZRSDTL) by its lonesome, perfect for those looking to beef up their NAS drives or just add a capacious archive drive to their SSD-equipped desktop rig.
