Seagate Barracuda 750GB
Seagate Technology has just announced the release of the world’s first 750GB desktop hard drive. The first shipments of this huge capacity internal hard drive was yesterday (April 26, 2006). The external model with the same capacity will be released this coming Monday, May 1, 2006.
Seagate’s latest 750GB harddisk is part of the new Barracuda 7200.10 family which currently having 2 models ST3750640AS and ST3750840AS. Barracuda 7200.10 harddisks are built on perpendicular recording technology, a new technology that increases data density while decreasing moving parts for a more dependable drive.
Quoted:
Perpendicular recording technology stands data bits vertically onto the disc media, rather than horizontal to the surface as with traditional longitudinal recording, to deliver new levels of hard drive data density, capacity and reliability.

The suggested retail price of the 750GB Barracuda 7200.10 internal drive will be USD$590 whereas external drive will be priced around USD$559. The pricing is somehow weird because usually external harddisk drive will be more expensive than the internal one.
I just bought a Maxtor 160GB internal harddisk 2 weeks ago. Can’t even finish 3/4 of the capacity after I transfer all my files from the old 80GB drive. Now we have a whopping 750GB in the market already. I wonder how you guys use up so much of harddisk space?
