Seagate Ships Industry’s Easiest To Deploy 3TB Desktop Drive
Seagate is releasing another Barracuda drive although this one is special in that it boasts a capacity of 3 GB! What’s special about that? Well, typically this volume is too large for Windows XP and older BIOS versions but the Barracuda XT comes with DiscWizard software to configure the OS and drives to allow full access to the entire drive volume. The MSRP is expected to be $279.99.
Seagate today began shipments of the industrys most elegant, easy-to-install 3TB desktop drive the Barracuda XT hard drive a product that eliminates the need to purchase extra hardware or software to overcome the 2TB barrier. The Barracuda XT hard drive delivers the highest available capacity for home servers and workstations, high-definition video editing and production systems, high-performance PC gaming systems and desktop PCs. Legacy PC BIOS designs and device drivers and older operating systems such as Windows XP are incapable of using hard drive capacities beyond 2.1TB. The upshot is that existing desktop drives with more than 2.1TB of storage capacity must be deployed with additional software or hardware and may also require extra device drivers to overcome this limitation.
