Seagate Announces 750GB Hard Drives

Seagate accidentally posted information today about the upcoming Barracuda 7200.10 series hard drives. Two of the 750GB models, the ST3750640A (PATA interface) and the ST3750640SA (SATA interface) will be the two new models for this year according to DailyTech.

The Seagate webpage reveals dozens of other NCQ-ready 7200.10 based products ranging from 200GB on up. Cache information was not available via the website yet, but the official Seagate PDF claims the Barracuda 7200.10 series will come with 16MB and 8MB buffers. Considering these two drives will be the best of breed for Seagate, it is fairly safe to assume these drives will have 16MB caches.


Seagate representatives said that the information posted was "very premature" and was not supposed to be posted on the website for several weeks. Seek time information has not been released yet, which has traditionally been considered the problem area for perpendicular recording devices. However, the 7200.10 datasheet claims all drives in the series will have a 4.16ms average latency time.
