Seagate got superior in announcing 1.5TB Desktop HDD
Seagate announced three new consumer-level hard drives, which it claims are the “industry’s first 1.5-terabyte desktop and half-terabyte notebook hard drives.” The company claims that it is able to greatly increase the areal density of its drive substrates by utilizing perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology.Wikipedia states that PMR is “capable of delivering more than triple the storage density of traditional longitudinal recording.”
Seagate is also outing two new 500GB notebook hard drives, the Momentus 5400.6 and Momentus 7200.4. The 5400.6 spins at 5,400-rpm, and it includes a 8MB cache. The 7200.4 spins at 7,200-rpm and has a 16MB cache. Both drives use 3Gb/second SATA interfaces. Both drives are supposed to be reasonably vibration-resistant and are low on power consumption:
Both of Seagate’s 2.5-inch, Momentus drives will start shipping in the fourth quarter of this year, and pricing has not be set yet.
The Barracuda 7200.11 will be out in August. Pricing has not yet been announced.
