Maxtor announced a new storage device that can hold up to 1TB. This is probably good for people who download a lot of movies work with big files (videographers, photographers, and graphic artists) and need a lot of storage space, but I don't see the "regular" computer user needing this.

Anyway, this Turbo Edition comes in 2 versions - 600GB or 1TB - and can be connected via diferent ways: USB 2.0/FireWire 400/FireWire 800 - interface for easy connection to a Mac or PC.

The suggested retail price for the 600GB is $549,95 and $899,95 for the 1TB. I consider this a good investement (if you really need it) because you won't have to buy a new storage device ever.

With capacities up to one terabyte (1TB or 1,000GB), the new Maxtor OneTouch III, Turbo Edition integrates Maxtor's award-winning automated backup and restore capabilities for Mac and PC users, allows users to easily configure the solution for either RAID 0 or RAID 1 and includes new software tools to synchronize data between two or more computers and to help repair PC systems after a damaging spyware or virus attack. - Press Release
