Seagate’s Barracuda 7200.10 hard drive

Oh yes. The new Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 looks to be one sweet little morsel. I mean, you have to dig a drive that does it and does it with a Perpendicular touch!

SINCE THE FIRST TIME “Get Perpendicular” got stuck in our heads, we’ve anxiously anticipated the arrival of perpendicular recording technology. The wait has been long, especially on the desktop, but perpendicular recording has finally arrived in Seagate’s Barracuda 7200.10 hard drive. And it’s arrived in style. Seagate has exploited the new recording technology to offer a drive with a monstrous 750 GB capacity—50% more than any other drive on the market.

Perpendicular recording does wonders for storage capacity, and thanks to denser platters, it can also improve drive performance. Couple those benefits with support for 300 MB/s Serial ATA transfer rates, Native Command Queuing, and up to 16 MB of cache, and the Barracuda 7200.10 starts to look pretty appealing. Throw in an industry-leading five year warranty and a cost per gigabyte that’s competitive with 500 GB drives, and you may quickly find yourself scrambling to justify a need for 750 GB of storage capacity….
