Still cheaper to RAID two 500GB drives. (or two 640s)

But the platter density should combat it on the tb...close.

More density per platter means more storage per platter.

Explains it nicely.

I was under the impression that on this TB drive there are less platters compared to two 500gb drives put togeather. Meaning that there is less motion required by the drives' arm in order to obtain a given amount of information.
