About a year ago we brought you thefirstretail terabyte HDD , the Deskstar 7K1000 , and now Hitachi has released the Deskstar 7K1000.B. And Hitachi ’s worked quite hard on it : With a 32 MB buffer and a three - disk layout , it ’s apparently the “ world ’s most power - efficient 1 TB drive ” and consumes about 43 % less power when idling . And for those of you who opine “ bleh ” to the power savings , it also has build up - in encoding , which Hitachi says does n’t touch on read / save speeds at all . Out soon for $ 279 , which puts it in challenger with the SamsungHD103UJ . Available July for $ 279 . [ HitachiandBoingBoing gizmo ]
