Western Digital, a leading vendor of hard disk drives, has just introduced the world's first 2TB hard drive, in the form of a new environmentally-friendly WD Caviar Green hard drive. Designed as a 3.5-inch product, the world's highest-capacity hard drive takes advantage of the company's industry-leading 500GB/platter technology, offering 400GB/in2 areal density. Along with the announcement Western Digital said that the drive was already available for purchase, enabling both consumer and professional users to upgrade to the highest-capacity single-unit storage solution on the market.
