Seagate has just announced that it will launch its very own 1-terabyte Barracuda harddisk drive sometime during the first half of 2007.
“Seagate’s 1TB hard drive will be our second generation 3.5-inch hard drive to feature capacity-boosting perpendicular recording technology, and it will use fewer heads and discs than similar-capacity products we expect to see from our competitors. It is clear that fewer heads and discs, along with our proven perpendicular technology, can increase drive reliability, and also reduce operating temperatures, power consumption, noise, and weight.”
Not wanting to lose out, Hitachi has also announced that it will be coming out with its 1TB drives within the first six months of 2007.
But, Hitachi’s will supposedly run on five platters, whereas Seagate’s will supposedly run on less, making the Seagate better in performance and more reliable.
