Seagate intros new enterprise hard drives
As any storage enthusiast can tell you, not all hard drives are created equal. Take Seagate's new line of enterprise-worthy drives, for example. There's the Barracuda FDE (available in 2008 in capacities up to 1TB), which looks like a regular old 7200 rpm drive on the surface but boasts full, native AES encryption for security fanatics. Then there's the Cheetah 15k.6, which claims a 28 percent performance boost while lowering power consumption. Seagate calls it "the highest-performance drive ever in a 3.5-inch form factor"; it'll ship in 2008 in capacities up to 450GB. Finally, there's the Momentus 5400.4, a perpendicular-recording drive aimed squarely at the enterprise laptop market. This puppy can take up to 325 Gs of shock during operation and up to 900 Gs when the drive isn't spinning. It'll be available later this year in sizes up to 250GB.
