Western Digital Said to be Readying 2TB Green Hard Drive

In the computer industry, there are lots of things that companies fight to have the most or least of. For instance, CPU makers battled for years over who had the most GHz in their processors. Laptop maker's fight over who has the thinnest and lightest notebooks and hard drive companies fight over speed and storage capacity.

Seagate has its 1.5TB hard drive right now, which is the high capacity king for the moment. Engadget reports that it hears rumblings that Seagate may soon lose the title of highest capacity drive to Western Digital as it readies a 2TB Caviar Green hard drive.

Engadget reports that WD is set to launch its 2TB Caviar Green WD20EADS hard drive this week. Features are said to include 32MB of cache, an 8.9ms seek time and a price of around $224. The drive will also be available as soon as it is launched.
