postheadericon Seagate ships 7,200RPM 3TB Barracuda XT internal hard drive, we wonder what took so long


Introduced in the fall, Seagate has now began shipping its 3TB Barracuda XT internal hard drive. The highest capacity hard drive is rare in supporting legacy operating systems such as Windows XP, which can't normally support hard drive capacities higher than 2.1TB. DiscWizard software that's available for download ships with the drive and lets the system read and write to, though not boot from, the extra-large drive.

Windows Vista and 7 users, as well as many Mac users, can see the full capacity without software. Booting needs EFI firmware that isn't present on most Windows PCs but which should work with newer Macs.

The Barracuda XT sports a 64MB cache along with a SATA 6Gbps interface to help it accommodate burst speeds. The 3.5-inch hard drive spins at up to 7,200RPM, and allows for an 8.5ms random read seek time. It produces a maximum of 32dB of noise and should be useful for most quiet systems.
 

Key Features and Benefits

  • 3TB of capacity easily configurable with Seagate® DiscWizard™ software to overcome legacy     capacity  limits of 2.1TB with no additional hardware required.
  • Massive capacity meets the demands of today's storage-craving applications, such as high-performance game systems and video production systems.
  • SATA 6Gb/s interface enables the use of the industry's newest and fastest hard drive controllers targeted for high-performance desktop, gaming and entry-level server systems.
  • 7200-RPM drive complements the massive capacity, delivering a powerful combination of storage and high-end desktop performance.
  • 64MB cache optimizes burst performance and reduces data throughput bottlenecks.
