That's what I'm interested in. 4 platter hdd's are common, so the fact that they're not announcing a 4TB unit is a bit strange. I always imagined hdd manufactures hanging flags in their office stating "first 1GB hdd", "first 1TB hdd", "first 32MB cache", etc.

Being the first 4TB 3.5" hdd in this day and age of "I must wget the Interwibble" would make a better headline (though I do understand that they have to hit a certain density to reach that).

I'm sure, especially considering the comments for this article, that Seagate is field-testing the new density first
