1000 GB Storage. Yeah, New Sony PC has it!

According to an Associated Press Newswire, Japan's Sony Corp. will begin selling a computer and home-server system in Japan with 1,000 gigabytes of hard-drive storage - enough to record six TV channels for a week straight - the company said.

Vaio Type X, set to go on sale Nov. 20, will sell for about $4,700, Sony spokesman Shinji Obana said Wednesday.

"The best part is that you can freely choose what you want to watch without having to worry about what you might have missed," he said.

There are no plans to market the computer overseas, Obana said.

Recorded programs are displayed as a thumbnail TV guide that Sony calls Time Machine View. The shows can also be grouped by categories such as sports or sitcoms, Sony said.

The machine has six analog TV tuners that can record six channels at once for a week at 19 hours of programming a day, or five and a half days of continuous recording. It also has a regular personal computer tuner for recording a seventh channel.

The oldest recordings are automatically deleted unless they are saved to make room for new recordings.

The Vaio Type X is on display at the CEATEC electronics show this week in Chiba, a Tokyo suburb.

:star: Phew. I am using just 3 GB out of my 40 GBs!!!

Sounds pretty cool. Expensive but cool. I'm using about 30 of my 60 GBs.

I'm using 32/40GB.

Space is cheap. A 250GB harddrive is around $200. For $800 you could get a 1TB array.

1000gb

That is an awesome machine. It far surpasses anything I have need for. I get along with 4gig. A little more than that would be nice though.

I am currently using a 80 GB Hard drive and I think 100 Gb should suffice for everybody...

1000 GB is not my cup of tea...it's expensive + don't need that much space

Sony is a great company, however it's pretty expensive when compared to Dell/Toshiba!

Thanks for sharing though
