True, I just looked at the Hitachi 7200 RPM 2TB Ultrastar and it lists and average throughput of 134 Megabytes/second which is quite good.
Yeah, but have you tracked the reliability of any of the 2TB drives out there right now? They're terrible. I wouldn't deploy anything more than a 1TB drive right now in a server, everything with a higher capacity is still on the "too new to be stable yet" side of the fence to me.
