    2 billion bytes. In hard disk world, yes, that's 2 TB.
    i dont understand what youre talking about
    just thought that the OP may know if its real 2tera or the same marketing crap like the current (F2,F3 samsung) situation with no real 2T

    anyways Samsung has a history of mixing up models with different platter capacities like for example the F1 series had models with both 333Gigs(unformatted) and 250Gigs(unformatted)
    ...im just wondering how do they arrive at 1.5tera- be it formatted or unformatted,if all new platters(667 unformatted) then 2 platters are not enough to get you to 1.5 tera even less so if formatted.
    at least the current 3 platter F3/F2s give you 1.5tera when unformatted and around 1380gigs being useful.

    WD has also started using the 667 platters in their green line.

    "Generally speaking, CMOS power consumption is the result of charging and discharging gate capacitors. The charge required to fully charge the gate grows with the voltage; charge times frequency is current. Voltage times current is power. So, as you raise the voltage, the current consumption grows linearly, and the power consumption quadratically, at a fixed frequency. Once you reach the frequency limit of the chip without raising the voltage, further frequency increases are normally proportional to voltage. In other words, once you have to start raising the voltage, power consumption tends to rise with the cube of frequency."
