Seagate Technology`s newly released Barracuda 7200.10 750GB hard drive represents a first for the desktop marketplace. Available to local users through official distributor Rectron, the Barracuda 7200.10 enables users to easily meet today`s growing storage and performance demands.
With the new hard drive, Seagate now delivers perpendicular recording technology across its desktop, notebook, enterprise, consumer electronics and retail hard drives. The 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 new data orientation also increases drive throughput without increasing spin speed by allowing more data bits to pass under the drive head in the same amount of time.
"Seagate is undoubtedly one of the world`s foremost leaders of desktop hard drives and confirms this status with its new Barracuda 7200.10 which offers an unprecedented 750GBs of capacity, readily adhering to increasing storage and reliability demands," says Cheslynne Britz, Seagate product manager at Rectron.
The Barracuda 7200.10 also features cache sizes from 8MB to 16MB and 1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) data transfer rates with Native Command Queuing. NCQ enhances reliability in heavy workloads by reducing head movement and streamlining the delivery of queued commands to the drive.
The Barracuda 7200.10 also offers the following features:
* Adaptive Fly Height - Maximises the consistency of read/write performance across the entire disc by adjusting the fly height (distance between the disc head and platter) according to changes in environmental operating conditions.
* Clean Sweep - Helps maintain media integrity and drive reliability by passing the drive head over the entire platter during power-on to smooth out any irregularities in the disc surface.
