Seagate Announced 400GB Hard Drive
Filed in: Gadgets, Technology — June 16th, 2004
The new Barracuda 7200.8 disc drive offers PC makers and consumers the industry’s highest areal density with 400GB on a three-disc platform, a new cache size up to 16 Mbytes, a choice of an Ultra ATA interface or the industry’s first native Serial ATA (SATA) interface with native command queuing (NCQ), and remains the quietest PC hard drive on the market. Seagate will also offer the new 400GB capacity in its award-winning desktop Seagate External Hard Drive, which is perfect for using less desktop space and travels well with notebook PCs while still offering a 100GB capacity. The new Seagate USB2 Pocket Hard Drive is the first tiny USB-compatible 5GB drive consumers can pop in their pocket or backpack to carry data wherever they go, thanks to its tough-but-cute hard case.
Thought:
400GB hard drive, 100GB notebook hard drive and 5GB USB 2.0 pocket hard drive… cool! 
Hard drive price per MB is always cheaper than flash drive. Perhaps, the pocket hard drive will replace USB drive?
