Seagate unveils 1.5 Terabyte desktop drive
Seagate unveiled a 1.5 Terabyte, 3.5-inch hard disk for the desktop earlier this week. Meant for the mainstream market, the Barracuda 7200.11 represents the 11th generation of Seagate's flagship drive for desktop PCs. The release of this drive marks the single largest jump in hard disk capacity in the history of hard drives, up a half-terabyte from the previous highest capacity of just 1 TB. This was possible due to the four platters based on perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology spinning inside the Barracuda 7200.11. In addition, the drive comes with a SATA interface giving three gigabytes per second, and can give a sustained data rate of 120 megabytes per second. According to Seagate, the drive is scheduled to ship in August.
