Seagate has officially announced that it has started deliveries of the finest in the world 2TB hard drive. In this statement a lot of controversial issues, so we took it in quotation marks. We will consider this quote. The new drive is available for OEM-laptops manufacturers . It has a thickness of only 7 mm and consists of two TB-1 2.5-inch magnetic plates. It should be clarified that a formal announcement of this decision was held back in September last year, and at the January 2016 CES, the company showed the disk as part of an external mobile hard drive with USB-interface. So - this is the third in a row announcement of new products.
Also note that this model is not based on 1 TB plate, and 750 GB plates, whose density is increased by the use of overlapping entries (SMR, shingled magnetic recording). The original manufacturer of magnetic plates - the Japanese company Showa Denko - to deliveries of 1TB 2.5-inch ninth-generation PMR-plates started a few months ago. Using the overdubbing greatly reduce HDD writing speed, although reading speed is not affected.
Incidentally, the speed. Seagate does not disclose data on the spindle speed trends. If we look at the records, we can see that an established data transfer rate up to 100 MB / s. This is clearly not the "steepest" solution, and the spindle rotation speed can not be higher than 5400 rev / min. About 2TB capacity for 2.5-inch HDD also can not say that it is an absolute record. A year ago, Toshiba introduced 3-terabyte mobile HDD, however, in the case of 15 mm in height (it relied on five 750 GB platters). The same 3-terabyte 2.5-inch HDD in the middle of last year, Seagate released as an external hard drive Spinpoint M10P (producer - a former unit of Samsung).
Price - about 120 euros. For comparison, in Europe, the approximate price of such SSD 2TB capacity is about 600 euros. Saving money is available. Related Products :
