Desktop hard drive hits 750GB capacity mark

Seagate Technology introduced the world's first desktop hard drive to hit
the 750GB capacity mark. The monster drive is part of the new Barracuda 7200.10
family built on perpendicular recording tech­nology to meet the gro­wing
storage capacity, per­for­mance and relia­bility require­ments of desktop
computers and low-end servers.

The technology stores data bits vertically onto the disc media, rather than
hori­zontal to the surface as with traditional longitudinal recor­ding, to
deliver new levels of hard drive data density, capa­city and reliability. The
new data orientation also increa­ses drive throughput without increasing spin
speed by allowing more data bits to pass under the drive head in the same amount
of time.

Features

• To meet the gro­wing storage capa­city re­quire­ments of both PCs and
  ser­vers, the Bar­­ra­cuda 7200.10 family pro­vides 200GB to 750GB of
  capa­city on the strength of industry-leading data density of 130 giga­bits
  per square inch (up to 188 gigabytes per disc)
• Features cache sizes from 8MB to 16MB and 1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA)
  data transfer rates with Native Command Queuing (NCQ) which enhances
  reliability in heavy workloads by redu­cing head movement and streamlining
  the deli­very of queued com­mands to the drive
• Backed by Sea­gate's five-year warranty
• Ideal for system builders requiring the combina­tion of hard drive capa­city,
  performance and reliabi­lity for single-user systems such as desktop PC
  RAID, digital editing, hot-rod gaming, single-drive external storage and
  consumer PCs
• Also provides high throughput and low cost-per-gigabyte storage re­quired
  for multi-user sys­tems such as low-cost servers for small offices
• Adaptive fly height maxi­mizes the consistency of read/write performance
  across the entire disc by adjusting the fly height (distance between the
  disc head and platter) according to changes in environmental operating
  conditions
• Clean sweep helps main­tain media integrity and drive reliability by pas­sing
  the drive head over the entire platter during power-on to smooth out any
  irregularities in the disc surface
