Seagate 160GB drives will be out later this year, with a promise of larger drives soon after. Perpendicular is the next major step forward for drive makers, so you will see a lot of vendors leapfrogging capacities in the near term.

Argh. I keep getting reminded of that crazy flash animation every time somebody mentions perpendicular HD technology!

At the moment, all the drives that have been announced that use perpendicular tech appear to be 1.8" drives like the one used in iPods. Once they get it into desktop drives then we'll be getting 1TB sizes which will be good
