1 terabyte hard drives

My media collection just passed 500 gigs so I bought an internal 750 to hold everything on one drive.  I am planning to purchase an external 1T drive but do not want a RAID system such as the 2×500 mybook by WD.  I prefer a full 1T SINGLE harddrive.  So I checked around and the only single drive that with a 1T capacity is manufactured by Hitachi, called the Deskstar.

Now, I have heard the Deskstars referred to as DeathStars so what better place to ask  🙂 if anyone knows if this thing is worth it or should I hold out for Seagate or WD to come to market.  Anybody have a clue?
BTW, I have this external enclosure waiting for whatever sata hard drive i finally choose.
