Seagate: 1TB HD Available Too

Seagate quickly follows Hitachi, and also announced its first 1TB HD for Q1 2007. It will be based on a 4 x 250 plates technology, whereas Hitachi will be using 5 x 200GB plates. In theory, Seagate model should heat less and be faster; however, one will have to test it, as recent Seagate models have not been particularly the leaders of performance benchmarks.
The good point for consumers is to see many manufacturers entering the 1TB HD market, a promise for lower price.
