Still need more storage on your laptop? If so then you'll be happy to hear that Acer has begun begun shipping with the industry's first half-terabyte notebook hard drives.

The laptops feature Seagate's Momentus 5400.6 500GB hard drive which include G-Force Protection, a free-fall sensor technology that helps prevent drive damage and data loss upon impact if a laptop PC is dropped.

Seagate announced the new laptop drives in July along with their new flagship Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB desktop hard drive,. Both types of drives provide significantly more storage space than previous laptop and notebook drives thanks to perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology.

500 GB is a lot of space, probably more than most people will ever need unless you are into gaming, videos and photos.
