Seagate to release 1 TB hard drive in H1 2007

Chicago (IL) - Seagate has reacted to rumors that the company may be showing a 1 TB version of its Barracuda 3.5" desktop hard drive at the Consumer Electronics Show. Company spokesman Michael Hall said that the firm expects "to be the first to deliver 1 TB hard drives in high volume for global customers during the first half of 2007."

The drive will be the company's second generation perpendicular hard drive, following a 750 GB version that has been shipping since April 2006. Hall added that the four-platter drive "will use fewer heads and discs than similar-capacity products [from competitors]."

While not confirmed, 1 TB hard drives are expected to be shown either by Seagate and/or other vendors at the Consumer Electronics Show next week.

umm do yall keep everything? i mean everything cause thats a lot of memory seems like too much...

if you do video editing that can be VERY handy, especially when my premier pro exports in avi format, giving me less than 10 hours of footage on my 160gb harddrives (it does do compress, but that takes forever to render).

 

[Bobo]

Yeah Cache lol No I mean 1 TB hard drives. whats the big deal about Seagate releasing a 1TB drive?

No, that was 2 500GB drives in an external enclosure.

8bits = 1byte
1million bytes = 1 mega byte
1024 megabytes = 1 gigabtye
1024 gigabytes = 1 terrabyte

you can do the math

I have probably 700 gigs of music/movies/media on several computers, and I plan on building a mythTV box ones of these days. A few TB drives would come in so handy recording my favorite TV shows.

a gigabyte is 1000 megabytes, a terabyte is 1024 gigabytes
