Seagate has “sent out an e-mail to the media letting us know that a drive of that size will be coming in the first half of 2007.” Seagate has offered their 750GB Barrcudda since April 2006 and now it’s time to get bigger. The from e-mail Seagate says, “Seagate’s 1TB hard drive will be our second generation 3.5-inch hard drive to feature capacity-boosting perpendicular recording technology, and it will use fewer heads and discs than similar-capacity products we expect to see from our competitors. It is clear that fewer heads and discs, along with our proven perpendicular technology, can increase drive reliability, and also reduce operating temperatures, power consumption, noise, and weight.”
