Hitachi Global Storage Technologies is releasing a 3.5-inch diameter 1 terabyte hard drive for desktop computers sometime during the first quarter. As a reference, the Library of Congress has 10 terabytes of information, and according the the library's website:
"It is also the largest library in the world, with more than 130 million items on approximately 530 miles of bookshelves. The collections include more than 29 million books and other printed materials, 2.7 million recordings, 12 million photographs, 4.8 million maps, and 58 million manuscripts."

The hard drive will have enough to store 250,000 mp3s of average length. It has enough memory to store and playback two years of music without ever repeating a song.
