Monster rising from the depths!

About 6 years ago I used to get excited about 2Gb hard disks. Talk about the dark ages! Seagate have announced a beast of a hard disk -  the Barrcuda 7200 1.5Tb, aimed at the desktop market.

The 1.5TB capacity Barracuda 7200.11 drive has four platters and uses a Sata 3Gbps interface with a sustained data rate of up to 120MBps. The 3.5-inch drive is also offered in capacities of 1TB, 750GB, 640GB, 500GB, 320GB and 160GB with cache options of 32MB and 16MB.

Expect to this beast ripping up the tarmac sometime next month.
