    Japan's Hitachi Ltd. on Wednesday unveiled the world's first hard disk drive/DVD recorder that can store one terabyte of data, or enough to record about 128 hours of high-definition digital broadcasting.

    Hitachi, Japan's largest electronics conglomerate, is still a relatively small player in the DVD recorder market, trailing industry leaders Matsu****a Industrial Co. Ltd., Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp.

    But it hopes its new line-up, which also includes models able to store 160 gigabytes, 250 gigabytes and 500 gigabytes of data, will help boost its market share and turn its loss-making DVD recorder business profitable in
    October-March, the second half of the business year.

    ...

    The recorders will go on sale in Japan from next month. They are expected to retail from about 130,000 yen ($1,180) for the cheapest model to 230,000 yen for the one-terabyte recorder, which stores data on two 500 gigabyte hard disk drives.

    One terabyte is equal to 1 trillion bytes of data. One gigabyte equals 1 billion bytes.

    Whao... 128 hours of Hi-Def TV? Schweeties...
