Seagate Plans To Launch 3TB Constellation ES Hard Drive in 2010
Rumor has it that Seagate is working on releasing a 3TB Constellation ES hard drive with a 6Gbit/s SAS interface for a launch that will happen later this year. The rumor mill also believes that a new Savvio 2.5-inch drive is coming in the form of a 750GB hard drive based off the existing 600GB, 10,000rpm 10K.4 product line.
The Constellation ES is a replacement for the Barracuda ES and is, Seagate says, an enterprise class drive, currently maxing out at 2TB, and spinning at 7,200rpm. There is a 2.5-inch version which tops out at 500GB capacity. Our understanding is that a 1TB version of that product will also arrive around the mid-year point, and be the world’s highest-capacity 2.5-inch drive, exceeding products offered by Toshiba and Western Digital
