A year and a half after the launch of the first hard drive with a capacity of 1 Terabyte by Hitachi, it’s now Seagate’s turn to be the first in 1.5 TB drives with the Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB.

All of its specifications have not yet been revealed but we do know that it has an SATA-II interface and 4 platters with a density of 375 GB (like the Hitachi 7K1000.B) giving it a sustained maximum sequential speed of 120 MB/s versus 115 MB/s or 105 MB/s for other Barracuda 7200.11. For availability, the good news is that the first deliveries will take place next month.
