The Hindu Business Line : Seagate announces 100 Gb hard drive

LEAPFROGGING the hard drive industry in storage density, Seagate today introduced the world's first hard drive to store 100 Gbytes of data on a single 3.5-inch platter.

With the industry's most advanced head and media technology, the new addition to the Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 family achieves a 200-Gbyte capacity using only two platters, and offers the choice of a parallel ATA (PATA) or native serial ATA (SATA) interface.

The Barracuda 7200.7 is the industry's first hard drive family capable of supporting SATA `native command queuing (NCQ). NCQ will be implemented on production Barracuda 7200.7 SATA hard drives when system architectures that support NCQ become more broadly available.

NCQ is a feature that can only be implemented on native SATA hard drives like Seagate's.
