Seagate is once again the leading manufacturer of hard disk to reach the threshold of a terabyte per tray. Its competitors leveled currently at 667 GB per platter. This progress does not tell you anything, so maybe translate it into concrete terms: it opens the door to very next 3.5 "hard drives 4 TB 5 TB or a hard disk is actually composed of several magnetic platters that store data.
In a 2.5 "hard drive for notebook PCs, it is possible to stack up to 3. In a 3.5 "hard drive for desktop PCs, manufacturers typically install 4 or 5. Hitachi was a few years ago and the first to pass the one terabyte by stacking 5 trays where its competitors had stopped 4. The manufacturer had managed to leave his stunt sacrificing the reliability of its product.
Seagate does not seem to make the same choice today: although the firm would technically be the first to surpass the 5 TB, it is limited for now to announce new models 3 TB Barracuda XT These 3TB available "in mid-2011" without further precision in the form of external drives Go Flex Desk.
