2TB Hard Drive

"Unlike other 2-TB [models] that run at 5400 or 5900-RPM speeds, the new Barracuda XT drive is built on a full-speed, 7200-RPM, 4-disk platform," Seagate spokesperson David Burks told TG Daily. "Further turbocharged with a huge 64-MB cache and the industry's new, high-performance SATA 6Gb/s interface, the Barracuda XT drive is destined to set a new standard for high-speed desktop performance."

Burks explained that Seagate had increased the XT's cache from 32GB to 64GB to exploit the newly designed SATA 6G interface.

"The XT's 64MB cache optimizes burst performance and reduces data throughput bottlenecks," said Burks. "So, cache-efficient games and applications, such as non-linear video editing tools, will experience a real performance boost right out of the chute."

Burks also noted that Seagate had worked closely with a number of companies, including Intel, Microsoft, Asus and Marvell, to ensure the success of Sata 6G.

The Barracuda XT - which is fully compatible with legacy SATA 1.5Gb/s and SATA 3Gb/s - is currently available for $300."Unlike other 2-TB [models] that run at 5400 or 5900-RPM speeds, the new Barracuda XT drive is built on a full-speed, 7200-RPM, 4-disk platform," Seagate spokesperson David Burks told TG Daily.

It will take me a while to fill that drive...

BTW: You should edit your post... The text is repated three times.

Damn wish they weren't so much, definitely need two for a mirror raid to feel somewhat at peace when putting 2tb of crap on a drive. Don't think 1.5tb would be sufficient even though they are cheap.
