There was a time when 1TB drives seemed huge, but then the 1.25TB and 1.50TB dropped. Now, Western Digital resets the standard at 2TBs with the latest in the Caviar Green lineup. The 3.5-inch drive utilizes 500GB/platter technology along with a 32MB cache for a fast and apparently, eco-friendly operation. The best part? The 2TB Caviar Green shipping now at an affordable price of $299 and HotHardware found that the new drive performs well against multiple 1TB drives.

How long has WD had a “caviar” line of HD’s? I remember having a 1GB caviar drive back in the 90’s, cost probably $400 or $500.
Gimme!
I hope they are reliable. 2tb is a lot of data to lose in one blow. For non-corporate humans, the only good way I know to back that thing up will be to another one of the same.
