Your not hallucinating (unless your actually doing drugs right now, in which you need to get off em), but HGST has actually created the 1st 10TB hard drive for commercial purpose using helium. This is not a joke. Read the following article for more information: http://www.pcworld.com/article/3011...first-10tb-hard-drive-for-common-storage.html

Even though I have 2 2TB spinners in my computer for redundancy, they exist only for the sole purpose of mass storage. everything else runs off of my 500GB SSD. Soon to be 2 x 500GB SSDs in RAID 0

I so need one. 2.5Tb almost doesnt cut it anymore for me haha. That doesnt include the two 500Gb drives I use to back up my important files on. This would be amazing to have one or several of these in a raid setup.
Why spend $800(estimated) on a single 10TB hard drive, when you could just buy 3, 3TB Seagate Hard Drives for almost a third of the price? I know it's a benefit to have just a single drive, but you could get much more storage for cheaper with multiple larger and cheaper drives
