Hitachi and Seagate are the price leaders in the 2TB internal drive category
At the current pace, an internal 2TB drive will cost under $100 in about 6 months.
So by the same time next year, it will be as hard to find 1TB drives as it today for 500GB! And I won’t be surprised to find some Black Friday deals for 2TB drives (internal or external) close to the $100 barrier.
Interestingly, the 1.5TB drive category didn’t really had time to establish itself in the market, squeezed by the super low cost 1TB drives and the 2TB drives.
In the 2TB internal drive category, Hitachi – which also owns the low-cost Simpletech brand – and Seagate are the price leaders. For 1TB internal drives, Western Digital is still the company to beat at less than $60.
