Disk drive maker Seagate Technology on June 25 introduced what it calls “the first second-generation” 1TB storage hard drives for a variety of enterprise and desktop uses.

The Barracuda 7200.11 for desktops and Barracuda ES.2 enterprise PMR (perpendicular magnetic recording) hard drives deliver 1TB of capacity on a four-disk platform, 7,200-rpm spin speeds, and caches up to 32MB, Willis Whittington, Seagate product marketing manager, told eWEEK.

The new drives will be marketed both as branded items to the public and as OEM components to Seagate computer-making partners, Whittington said.

Both drives will begin shipping in volume during the third quarter of this year. Pricing for each is set at $399.99.
