Western Digital Corp. (NYSE: WDC) on Tuesday introduced a 2-TB hard drive to its environmentally friendly Caviar Green product line.
WD believes many consumers are ready for such a large capacity drive to store video, pictures, audio, and other files in their expanding media libraries. Quoting market intelligence firm Trend Focus, the hard-drive maker claims about 10% of 3.5-inch drives sold today are at the 1-TB level or higher.
