Hitachi's Terabyte DVD Recorder
lposeidon writes "Hitachi has a terabyte DVD recorder. Looks like its an oversized TIVO box with 2 500GB harddrives, all for the low, low price of $1180" It's also fully high def capable.

...but many people will have to reply in "dupe" pointing out that it is NOT a "Terabyte DVD recorder". It is a terabyte DVR with a normal DVD recorder built in to the case.
It's like someone recorded the article, and is playing it back for us to flame a second time!
Build it, and they will come^Hplain.
Geez, it's like that stupid game you played in grade school where a whispered phrase went around the room, and was almost totally different by the time it had gone through 15-20 people.
/. titles that you can't add "HDD"? "Terabyte HDD / DVD recorder combo box." There, now that wasn't so hard.
The article subtitle meat is "...the world's first hard disk drive/DVD recorder that can store one terabyte of data..."
Is there really that little space in
As for the dupe, does it count if the first post on it was vaporware?
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
You can store the first Slashdot story on the first drive, and the second Slashdot story on the second drive.
I'm a big tall mofo.
welcome our new misleading title overlords..
Now I can download the entire Internet like I've always wanted to.
I'm waiting for a temporal TIVO so I can watch shows before I record them.
You can buy a terabyte of storage (4x250 gig hds in a raid0 array) for $600, and they want $2500? (the $1300 is for a half-terabyte)
For the same price, set up a linux box as an 12-drive (extra controller cards are cheap enough) 3-terabyte network storage unit, and store all sorts of stuff on it, not just movies.
It might even be big enough to hold the average slashdotters' pr0n collection.
... but then I'd be repeating myself ... again.
