    Nice find.

    I recently read an article arguing that the speed at which platter densities increase has really slowed down. Of course, TDK which is featured in the article you link to is one of the top platter manufacturers.

    Looks like the largest single platters we can hope for until August '10 or so are 640GB (3.5" form factor) and 375GB (2.5" form factor).
