Seagate's 1.5-Terabyte Barracuda Desktop Hard Drive

Today Seagate unveiled the Barracuda 7200.11—the first 1.5-terabyte desktop hard drive to hit the market. That represents a whopping half-terabyte jump over the previous 1TB max—a move they attribute to their perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. They also debuted two 2.5-inch half-terabyte 5400- and 7200-rpm drives dubbed the Momentus 5400.6 and Momentus 7200. The Barracuda is set to ship in August while the notebook drives will hit in Q4 of 2008.
