Seagate has begun shipping the
industry’s first 250GB-per-disc, 3.5-inch disk drive for
PCs.
Using
perpendicular magnetic recording technology, the
Barracuda drive is designed to address the expanding digital
content needs of both consumers and businesses.
The Barracuda 7200.10 drive is built with a fast SATA 3Gb/s
interface and will serve as the foundation for Seagate’s 1-terabyte
desktop, enterprise, consumer electronics and external hard
drives.
“Seagate remains focused on leading the hard drive’s pivotal
transition to perpendicular recording technology and maintaining
our density leadership in order to meet customers’ growing storage
capacity and reliability needs,” said Brian Dexheimer, chief sales
and marketing officer at Seagate.
Perpendicular recording sees data sets stored vertically on the
disk to maximise storage capacity.
