eagate (NYSE: STX) Technology on Thursday introduced a 1.5 terabyte hard drive for the desktop, and two half-terabyte notebook drives.
The Barracuda 7200.11, the 11th generation of Seagate’s flagship drive for desktop PCs, is targeted at mainstream computers, workstations, and gaming and high-end PCs.
