Toshiba Adds HDD Offerings with 4TB and 5TB Models
For storage they are awesome. At least you can get some data out of them when they fail.

Hmm more like 5 to 7years catch up in capacity as 1TB set you back a cool $400+ vs $60 in the same size old school harddrive.
SSD vs. HDD: Performance and Reliability
SSD has Performance but not Reliability
HDD has Reliability but not Performance
Let keep in mind that when SSD Fails it next to impossible to recovery any of the data, So as rule you should always backup to standard old school drive with SSD or with SSD go Raid and keep a some extra drive on hand.

Good to hear old school storage is becoming bigger and affordable.
I don't think i will see anytime soon a viable method to really recover data from a SSD.
When i mean recover,i mean cases when damage is on the hardware side,not software.Even so,SSD are the biggest fear of those whom recover data for a living.

Are these the Toshiba MD04ACA400 (4 TB, AUS$189 etc) and MD04ACA500 (5 TB, AUS$259 etc) drives that have been available for a while now?

Meh, i'm happy to wait another 2-3 years for the SSD's to catch up in capasity. No more clunky drives for me.
