You know you are a geek when you get excited about new hard-drives for your HTPC.
Hitachi CinemaStar 5K2000 and C5K750 Hard Drives Released [CES 2011] Hitachi has released two new drive families to address the DVR, IPTV STB, video surveillance and emerging hard drive-embedded TV markets. The 3.5" CinemaStar 5K2000 comes in 2TB and 1.5TB capacities, and the 2.5" CinemaStar C5K750 family with 750GB, 640GB and 500GB capacities.

Well you know they'll be charging a premium for these. I'm wondering what price point they'll come in at. I would consider using these.

If the price was right I would jump on these. Sounds just right for SageTV use..

I agree, I am hoping they aren't super expensive.. It's exactly what I am looking for. Large storage, quiet, and a low power footprint to boot!
