14 DAY TRIAL // Though it won't exactly be the first to do it, Western Digital will be getting around to releasing a hard drive of 3 TB sometime this month, along with some other electronics it had been working on.
As some end-users might know, the first company to actually launch hard disk drives of 3 TB, even an external one, was Seagate.
Still, before that, the first one to come up with 2 TB models was Western Digital, back in January 2009, followed by Hitachi in August.
Though it may have been robbed of the “world's first” title, WD will soon be matching Seagate in capacity once more.
What this means is that, sometime around the middle of the ongoing month, the former will finally send out its own 3 TB storage units.
Unlike Seagate, however, who only released one drive at a time, WD will supposedly bring out a whole collection of both internal and external units.
The sources of the report state that all three Caviar product lines will get their own 3 TB models, albeit at different times.
The Caviar Green should be the first to be updated, most likely on the very same day of the official announcement.
The Caviar Black and Caviar Blue will get their own models some time later.
These HDDs won't be the only things that Western Digital will have on hand, however, as the company is also setting up a couple of other series of electronics.
To be more specific, according to a report made by Tech ARP, the hardware supplier has readied improved WD Elements Play and the WD TV Live Hub media players.
Of course, the improvement will consist of the fact that these media players will have 3 TB of internal storage. Unfortunately, the leak had no sort of pricing details whatsoever.
