Just recently, Western Digital (WD) come up a brilliant idea of putting some personality to their hard disk products, particularly the WD Caviar Series in blue, green, and black. Making a rare introduction to the already established brand name is fun, and it becomes more and real fun because they turned their ideas into cartoon movies. As of the writing of this post, WD uploaded 4 episodes to introduce their hard drives. I embed the four episodes to the video section of this site, you can watch it in the following links:

Western Digital (WD) is one of the worlds leading manufacturer of magnetic hard drives. WD is the maker of hard drives that are known to withstand enormous strain suitable for mission critical, data storage projects. Last May 4, 2010, WD publicized their willingness to acquire the magnetic media operation of Hoya Corporation and Hoya Magnetics Singapore Pte. Ltd. WD agreed to pay 22 billion yen (about $235 million) for facilities, equipment, intellectual property, working capital, and R&D of Hoya's media sputtering operations, based in Tuas, Singapore.

Hard Disk manufacturers are pushing the storage capacity of hard disk drive (HDD). The era of GigaBytes (GB) is about to over when more and more release of TeraBytes (TB) are out in the market and price will follow the same trend of going down. I remember my first hard disk, the Seagate with 4 GB in capacity in Windows 98 system, that was actually huge back then. When I bought my 80 GB Samsung hard disk, I thought I cannot fill it but after 4 years of using it, I only have 9 GB space. It is still huge with the type of media I am storing but I chose to buy a new 160 GB Samsung hard disk drive. Now I wonder again, how can I fill that 2 TB hard disk. And if I am to browse my files one by one, how long to finish it.
