Hitachi Makes 400-Gigabyte Hard Drive
What amazes me about this is not so much the size of the drive, but really the other numbers they mention, like 400 hours of standard TV vs. 45 hours of HD TV.
Looks like my Tivo is going to have to get upgraded to at least 1.5Tb just to get like 80+ hours.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Digital media hogs can celebrate. A new, whopping 400-gigabyte hard drive from Hitachi Global Storage Technologies can store up to 400 hours of standard television programming, 45 hours of high-definition programming or more than 6,500 hours of digital music.
Previously, the largest such drive available was a 300-gigabyte product from Maxtor Corp., said Dave Reinsel, industry analyst at IDC.
San Jose-based Hitachi said it designed the monster drive, the Deskstar 7K400, for audio/video products such as digital video recorders.
Yankee Group, a Boston-based research firm, predicts the number of households with DVRs will increase to nearly 25 million by 2007, from about 3 million today.
