Largest Hard Drive?

[Guest]

What's the biggest (in storage) HDD you've seen on the market? (By this I don't mean some giant server storage, but something that would fit in your computer case)

The largest I've seen is 3TB.

I've seen a 4tb advertised a lot here: http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Desktop-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST4000DM000/dp/B00B99JU4S/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369260901&sr=1-1&keywords=4tb+hard+drive

Hard drives were larger than that. I remember seeing some in old photos that were taller than me.

i know but a dude on an electrical engineering youtube channel bought one of these recently. So it meets the 'on the market' stipulation.

I have a 4TB, and it's quite nice to have the capacity to just install EVERYTHING  ;)

How much did it cost? Did he ever mention it? Is it in the video?(I didn't watch the vid that's been linked)
