To catch up with Western Digital, Seagate announced the availability of a new models of its low power consumption 3.5" HD series.
In order to obtain better figures than its competitors, those HDs only spin at 5900 rpm, instead of 5400 rpm, as it would offer a better compromise performance/power consumption. Those drives feature 32 MB of cache and will be available with different capacities varying from 1.0 to 2.0 TB. They will drain between 3 to 5.7W for the 1 TB unit, and 5.5 to 7.8 W for the larger models.
