2Tb external Hard drive

Nov 17, 2010 1:03PM PST

Hello all,
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but ill ask anyway...
Does anyone know if an external hard drive has been created/is available that is 2TB+ in size, USB powered (no annoying AC cable) and preferably has USB 3.0 on it?
Or if not is there one being released in the near future??
Thanks people Happy

The reason is simple so I'll skip why. Maybe next year.

That's only 1.5TB and your question was about 2.0TB. We are close and RSN (Real Soon Now) but for now, for today, I don't see such available.

Wait a little.
