Samsung had just announced their quarter-terabyte (250GB), 5400rpm SpinPoint hard drive yesterday, which was intended for portable devices. But it seems like Dell and Alienware have taken even a step ahead, its new notebook will be loaded with 2 quarter-terabyte hard disks to make it the first in the industry – the laptops that have a half terabyte storage size.
The Dell’s notebook is called XPS M2010. It’s a 20″ screen foldable notebook. While the Alienware is the Aurora m9700, which is a 17″ screen dual graphics and dual hard drive notebook. The information has shown that the hard disks of the two notebooks use Serial ATA (SATA) interface and have 8MB of cache memory. There isn’t any information about which manufacturer supplied Dell and Alienware with these HDDs. Samsung? It could be Hitachi, which was much ahead that they’d announced its Travelstar 250GB 5400rpm laptop hard disks last year.
Buy Dell XPS M2010, $3,000.00
Buy Alienware’s Aurora m9700,$1600.00
