Comment - Seagate Launches 750GB Hard Drive
(Apr 26, 2006 - 11:15 PM)
Wow, that expensive and problematic. I'll stick with my $79.99 250GB HDs from CompGeeks. Forget it for a year or two. Sounds great in theory but what about usefulness, with a drive that large you'll have to increase the IO speeds from 7200 rpm to 10,000 or so to make it sell able because I suspect the capacity will be read write limited to head/cylinder arm placement. The hd arm will spend all day looking for it's place. Then there would always be the fragmentation issue. Sounds interesting but can Seagate deliver and can my little XP computer drive it.
