News: 1TB (Tara Bit) 2.5in (Internal) Hard Drives

For the people who don't know what that means PlayStation 3 will pretty soon be able to have a 1TB (Tara Bit) Hard Drive. The blog I made yesterday is calledNews: 1TB (Tara Bit) 2.5in (Internal) Hard Drives will explain everything and the links since I didn't want to redo them. So your laptops will be able to hold a 1TB Hard Drive and you'll never have to worry about memory again.

So would anyone consider upgrading their PlayStation 3 hard drive to something like that and be cheaper compared to the other consoles?

For all those people talking about the byte / bit here's a conversion chart.

personally, 120 is as far as i will go

I've been deleting a lot of stuff on my PS3 because I'm running out of hard drive space.

It really depends what you do with your PS3.

1 TB 2.5" drives by 2015 will be a little late for the PS3. For now, the 60GB drive is plenty. Once they enable the PlayStation DVR, that's a different story.babystapler

True but It's a prediction and there will be bigger hard drives as the years go by. Yet if you say it's late for the PlayStation 3 but still having PlayStation 2 games being released and people buying them well after next stuff was released.

A terabyte is too much for anything right now. I've used like maybe 100GB on my comp.

The only reason I could imagine getting a TB is if we got the PVR abilties and I used that enough.

What are you talking about, we always have to worry about memory and what is 640GB? I was under the impression the jump was 500GB to 750GB and then 1TB. I remember a few years ago when any game over 3GB was considered massive, now you have games pushing 10GB. By the time we start streaming video at 7680*4320 1TB will be enough for what, all of 10 minutes of the movie. Include lossless audio and you need even more space.mohmaaytah

well Lair and Heavenly Sword are pushing out 25gb blu-ray disc's and HeavnlySword is using 10gb just for audio mgs4 is going to use 50gb blu-ray discand kojima said thats not enough kinda glad sony choose to use bigger disc's.Iwould also bet money on ffXIII using a 50 gb blu-raytoo.

Tara bit? Isn't that like only 128GB?

Oh... You mean byte!

Thats COMPLETELY different.

why wait that long for overpriced 2.5 inch HDD.. when u could now buy a 1000GB external 3.5 for $300.... and plug it into the ps3 via USB... considering just from downloading trailers and a few demos my 60 gig ps3 is running low on room...

So you correct that but forget to mention the obvious one? It is Terabyte, Tara just reminds me of Tara Reid, not a bad thing at all, though not applicable here...

idk how you could fill up all that space, unless games start taking up like 100 gb's each i dont see the point, unless you like putting movies on your ps3... ill stick with my 20 gb for now lolcsqwared

My Xbox still displays 50000+ blocks ever since I got it 5 years ago since I dont really stick anything on it besides game saves and a few songs. This could all change within this generation though, if we have digitally distributed content including games, movies and TV content then expect the drive to be filled quickly, depending on the price of such content ofcourse.

WOOHOO!!! this rocks, i've got 300+ gigs of MP4 video on my computer, i can't wait till these come out and i can start turning my PS3 into a database of all my favorite shows. ripping DVD's and putting them on there is now a reality for me, i've already put over 120 gigs of stuff onto my PS3 (of course most of that is off and on because i only got a 60gig.) but this willl rock.

too bad they won't be out for so long :(

i got it on sale for $179.00 at best buy

I just today ordered a new 250gb hard drive because I easily filled up the 60gb with videos, DLed games, and my own music.

While I could've been more efficient and deleted some of my media, heck I own a PS3 -price isn't an issue...so I went and bought the new hard drive.

yeah can't see the need for more than 200..

not until there an update to be able create folders and organise your own files...

Too much for a console. Maybe even for a PC.solidscryer

You've obviously never tried to store recorded HD television shows. They eat up space like crazy.

You have anby idea how much that will cost bro. ENOUGH!!Miguel16

lol but all the other hard drives will be a lot more cheaper and plus a 500GB hard drive should be at a good price.
