Seagate steps up with 1.5TB desktop hard drive |
One thing we always want more of for our computer is storage capacity. Hitachi was first out of the gate with its 1TB HDD back in January of 2007 and Hitachi recently announced its second generation 1TB drive with some significant power savings.
Seagate wasn’t going to be beat to market with a hard drive of over 1TB, like it was beat to market with the original 1TB drives. Today Seagate announced the world’s first 1.5TB desktop hard drive called the Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB.
Seagate says this is the largest single jump in hard drive capacity in more than 50 years and thanks improved perpendicular magnetic recording technology for the capacity increase. The 1.5TB drive uses four platters to reach the massive storage capacity and uses the SATA 3GB/s interface. The drive is set to begin shipping in Q4 2008 at an undisclosed price.
