Seagate Rolls Out 400 GB SATA Drives

Posted by simoniker on from the rather-significant dept.

SenorCitizen writes "Seagate is the first hdd manufacturer to announce 400 GB 3.5" hard drives. The 7200.8 is SATA native and comes with buffer sizes up to 16 MB. Seagate also announced a 2.5" portable external hard drive with 100 GB, and an external USB2 pocket hard drive with 5 GB. Get leeching!"

    I think they'd sell like crap because they cost too much. Unfortunately, technology doesn't happen by wishing. Solid state drives are VERY expensive. Even if they were mass produced, they'd still be very expensive since they wimply aren't cheap to make.

    I agree that in the long term we need to get away from this magnetic platter system to something faster and more reliable. However, as it stands, there are no other solutions available for a consumer level price that will get the job done.
