Apple adds 750GB hard drive option to 24-inch iMac, Mac Pro

$399 for a 750GB HDD pre-installed.

Let me think, how much did I pay for that first hard drive which held a mere few MB ? Oh that's right it was more than that! ;)

It's available in the specs for the XServe too.

Now - if only the XServe was available - just a week to go before the "shipping in October" bell dings.

if its internal will the data not be accessed quicker?

number 5, i ordered mine last week got it a couple of days ago and there was no 750gb hard drive, i know because i ordered mine with 4 x 500gb, as i wanted to max out on space

The Seagate 750gb drive is currently going for about $350 shipped @ ZipZoomFly, so if this is an "upgrade" price it's not that great a deal. Might as well just get the cheapest drive that comes with the system and buy the big drive separately.

It's no new for the Mac Pro. The 750GB drive was an option as early as 3 weeks ago on the Mac Pro - I know, I was scoping out to order one, but changed my mind.

Yeah... *sigh* that is new. I just ordered my new 24" iMac on friday, it shipped today and I 'would' have gotten the 750gb if they offered it. But I got the 500 instead, with a 2tb lacie fw 800.
I agree with #2. I think this will go hand in hand with the iTV though and it's ability to stream from other mac's in the house... hence the 2tb I bought.

I agree with # 2 that's the first thing that came to my mind.It should prove to be a VERY interesting couple of months!

JkEw

Looks like Apple is ramping up for the HD content that will soon be littering our hard drives.

Actually, $399 for a 750GB internal drive isn't that bad. I think I paid that for the 500GB I currently have in mine. I used to only use external drives, but I feel so much safer having only internal drives, then backing up everything on external drives.
