It may seem a little strange to feature a hard drive, but bear with us for a second. While we’re all aware that capacity has been growing while cost per GB has been dropping, Seagate really launched one out of the park with a 750GB hard drive. Think about it – almost up to 1 Terabyte in one container! And that’s coming soon too. But here’s the other remarkable thing about this drive: not only is it huge, the performance is also amazing. You might be tempted to think that it would suffer, but think again. Test after test has shown this Barracuda to have a lot of bite. Here are some specs to chew on: 7200RPM spindle speed, average seek time of 12.6msec, top external transfer rate of 300Mbps, and here’s what you can store (approximate numbers): 318 two-hour DVD-quality movies or 1000 hours of VHS-quality video or 660 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or 276,500 vivid digital photos!
