Seagate has announced availability of its 1 Terabyte (TB) hard drives for its next generation Maxtor Onetouch4 and Barracuda family.

Targeting mobile users, home users, and the corporate segment, the new range of products comprises Maxtor One Touch4 Plus, OneTouch4 Mini, and OneTouch4; and Barracuda 7200.11 and ES.2.

The entire Maxtor family incorporates Maxtor Safety Drill, a solution for disaster recovery, which is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and the Mac operating system. It packs one-touch synchronization and password encryption.

Meanwhile, the 1TB Barracuda hard drives are the second generation desktop and perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) hard drives that promise to deliver a combination of capacity, performance, and reliability for a wide range of PC applications.

The Barracuda 7200.11 and ES.2 deliver 7,200 rpm spin speeds, average seek times of 8.5 milliseconds, and caches up to 32 MB. The drives pack 1 TB of data on four disks to provide cool operating temperatures and low power consumption.

The Barracuda ES.2 is a newly designed hard drive featuring the new RVFF (Rotational Vibration Feed Forward) system, designed to sustain performance in densely-packed multi-drive systems. The drive also incorporates the new PowerTrim technology, which manages drive power consumption at all levels of activity.

The 1 TB Barracuda 7200.11 is the 11th generation in the Barracuda 7200 series. The drive offers a continuous transfer rate of 105 MBps, with a low power rating of 8 watts at idle. It also delivers industry-leading acoustics, as low as 2.7 Bels, which is nearly undetectable by the human ear.

The new Maxtor and Barracuda products will be available in mid-November through Supertron computers. The pricing for these products has not been revealed yet. However, the 1 TB Barracuda 7200.11 is expected to be priced close to Rs 16,000.

You Sir, are wise and bold ;-) Of course I am presuming that you have also added the cost of a RAID controller etc ...

raid arrays increase failure rates unless you go in for mirroring ( as opposed to striping) . striping adds to performance and failures both, mirroring the reverse. so there is a trade-off . wud not suggest you increase failure rates

Intead of 16k for 1 TB- would it not make better economic sense at present to get 2x500GB at 5.5k each total 11k ? & then all your eggs are not in one basket-but in two !!!

True. 750GB still is ridiculously priced. This might just be the next good bang for buck capacity HDD if it comes down to something like 6K-7K. 16K is too much for a single HDD.
