Seagate 1.5TB Drives?
So I see on Seagate’s website that there is now a 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 SATA-II drive (ST31500341AS). I tried looking for a US release date and only found a place taking pre-orders in the UK and they stated "August." Anyone here know any of the US release?
I could use some larger drives soon this is good news for me….
EDIT: So apparently if I just search for "1.5TB Seagate" I get a bunch more results than searching for the part number. Anyway, from the Seagate press release they stated "Shipments of the Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB are set to begin August 2008"
this is good news for me, my 400gb drive for video in my server is filling up. this means that prices for terabyte drives will drop
Samsung F1s are already down to $150. Pretty damn cheap if you ask me.
every time i see anything about terrabytes it makes me think back to microsoft’s terrabyte server back in the day. it use to be such a big deal
anyone heard anything about the release dates of the 74GB/150GB WD Velociraptors?
I’m waiting on those. The OCZ SSD Core Series still ain’t worth it, imo.
too much money and heat for very little speed gain — and the shittiest of the shit in terms of capacity. Better off with some 32MB cache seagate drives. RAID 3/5 that bitch if you want performance.

The 150GB VR is listed on NCIX. Says it should be in stock within a few weeks. I don’t see why they would even make a 74GB VR and personally I don’t think they will. They will have to create a new platter, and this doesn’t make sense for one drive. I am in the same boat though. I’ve thought long and hard about the OCZ Core, but it just doesn’t perform all that well yet. I just want a small good performing boot drive.
yeah, I too doubt the 74GB VR. maybe it’s just rumors.
just checked NCIX.
around $200??
i’d probably still hit it
the 300GB VR is just too big for my OS drive.
