Seagate announced a 1TB hard drive today, albeit late, but as they say, “better late than never.” The Barracuda 7200.11 and ES.2 revv up to 7,200rpm, cache up to 32MB with an average data rate of 8.5ms. The ES.2 is leading the pack offering consumers a SAS interface along with SATA and is aimed for archive and secondary drive usage. The 7200.11 is as quiet as a mouse with only 2.7 Bels. Both drives will ship Q3 and the 7200.11 will retail for $399.99, while the ES.2 is still without a price tag. Now watch Marc Jourlait, Seagate VP of Global Marketing, give his spiel.

Sweet deal. I like these 1 TB drives. Just purchase yourself a HP MSA (20, 60, etc.) and throw these puppies in – 12 TB raw in 2U of rack space. I’ll be interested to see what price point the ES.2 comes out at. Thus far SAS has been significantly more expensive than SATA on the large scale.
Nice BUT I am hoping for something that will fit INSIDE my laptop, not in some huge box NEXT to my laptop.
