Seagate Confirms 3TB Hard Drive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the remember-when-20meg-was-infinity dept.

Stoobalou writes "After a few weeks of rumours, Seagate's senior product manager Barbara Craig has confirmed that the company is announcing a 3TB drive later this year, but the move to 3TB of storage space apparently involves a lot more work than simply upping the areal density. The ancient foundations of the PC's three-decade legacy has once again reared its DOS-era head, revealing that many of today's PCs are simply incapable of coping with hard drives that have a larger capacity than 2.1TB."

    >>>Safari 3.0.4 runs on 10.4.x

    Not according to both wikipedia and apple.com. Both say you need 10.5, which means I could not run it on my 10.4 mac, so I was using an old outdated browser which displayed web pages as garbage. Apple basically abandoned me and other 10.4 users. They don't like to support anything older than 5 years.
