Seagate to introduce 1 TeraByte Hard Disk

28 June 2007 18 Comments

Computer Storage is one thing which i cant seem to get enough of . I have 3 hard disks of 80GB capacity (total 240GB)  in my computer but still i am running short of space every time . Most of the space are taken by Computer games , Music , Videos and some softwares . I guess the scene should be similar to majority of view .

Seagate has announced the availablity of its 1 TB hard disk for a wide range of consumer desktop PC applications .The new disk will use  4 discs to store 1 TB of data , claiming that it will provide cool temperatures and less power consumption which in turn will help extend the drive’s life . The new range will also feature RVFF (Rotation Vinration Feed Forward ) technology that has been designed to sustain performance in densly packed multi drive environment .  The hard disk will be shipped in the third quartre and will be available for around $400 .


How much Hard Disk are you using , do you find it sufficient . Share your views through comments .

      I remember when the hard drives were in the 2-8 gig range. People would say “what are we going to use all that space for?” haha. Now all we need are 80-160 gig flash drives heh.

      400$ might just dissuade me from going for this.. I would settle for a 300 GB HDD for now>

      My PC back home has only 20 GB ( I still can’t imagine How I managed with a UL BB connection!)

      This GITEX, I’ll buy a shiny new external HDD.

      Luv –
      $400 is less than Rs 16,400 only. :)

      @brown
      My first pc had a hard disk of 1 GB and i found ti sufficient at that time

      @Ashwin
      Managing 20GB with UL connection is really great , you must be burning a lot of DVD’s then

      @Shivaranjan
      thats great man , what do you store in all that space

    • Abhishek Kumar said:

      I still use 80 GB harddisk. For videos, games and movies I use DVDs.. But now I face data storage problems, so I have decided to go for 160 GB harddisk. By the way, 400 $ is still costly affair in a country like India.

      We can keep everything without having to delete it for couple years…

    • Vaibhav said:

      The 1TB hdd is already in the market by hitachi, but its not such a brand name. Its cost is also less and much more than that it comes with a life time warranty.

    • ForumeR said:

      My seagate 160 GB just corrupted about 2 months ago. I was just bought it not reach one year yet, but my guarantee card was lost, so cannot change back.

      One tip for those who always on PC. Use Western Digital Hdisk, because it can stand heat, the hard disk cylinder resist heat. Other brands are not really resist heat better than Western Digital

      Best regards
