Japanese website
AKIBA PC Hotline! has spotted an unannounced Seagate desktop hard drive with
a claimed world-highest 750GB capacity. The drive-dubbed the Barracuda
7200.10-is detailed on
Seagate's website (PDF), and uses
perpendicular recording technology to achieve its impressive capacity.
Seagate's own Momentus 5400.3 2.5" mobile hard drive already uses this
technology, but the company says the 7200.10 is the first 3.5" desktop drive to
use perpendicular recording. It will ship in 200GB, 250GB, 320GB, 400GB, 500GB,
and 750GB capacities, with 8MB to 16MB of cache, and a 7200RPM spindle speed.
