Seagate har tillkännagivigt att man nu börjat skeppa desktophårddiskar med sina nya 500GB skivor. Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB spinner på i 7200RPM och kan stoltsera med en ytdensitet av 329 Gigabit per kvadrattum. Även om den första hårddisken i serien bara använder sig av två skivor kan kommande modeller mycket väl använda sig av flera. I teorin skulle Seagate kunna lansera en hårddisk med 2TB lagringskapacitet genom att använda endast fyra lagringsskivor. Man erbjuder även modeller med 500GB och 750GB lagringskapacitet, alla med en marknadsledande 160MB/s överföringshastighet, enligt Seagate.
