Barracuda XT: the fastest (and biggest) desktop drive on the planet

barracuda-xtSeagate just announced the new-to-the-world Barracuda XT.  What’s special about it?

  • 6Gb/s SATA interface
  • 2 terabyte capacity
  • 64 MB cache

There’s lots of buzz out there on this drive today – check it out here and here and here.

Barracuda XT is the first drive to sport the SATA 3.0 interface that runs at up to 6 Gb/s.  The combination of this 2X faster interface, the Barracuda XT’s 64 MB cache and a SATA 6Gb/s motherboard and you are off to the races!

The drive is best suited for video editing, multi-media publishing and PC gaming applications.

Big, fast and reliable.  Now there’s a high-speed Barracuda alternative that goes above and beyond the mainstream Barracuda 7200 drive for situations where screaming speed and high capacity are on the wish list.
