3TB Seagate disk drive ahoy
Something SASsy this way comes
SaaS data loss: The problem you didn’t know you had
Seagate is developing a 3TB disk drive which could hit the market this year.
According to people familiar with the company's plans, a 3TB Constellation ES drive with a 6Gbit/s SAS interface will arrive later this year.
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.
We further believe that a new Savvio 2.5-inch drive is coming, a development of the existing 600GB, 10,000rpm 10K.4 product with more capacity, possibly 750GB. ®

That is not standard height
That is why it is available only for external and special enclosures.
You still cannot find a standard slimline you can plug in a laptop or a server with a 2" SATA enclosure.
re: eh?
I think the author was talking about the 600GB model being replaced with a 750GB model, not 750GB being the highest capacity for the savvio.
But it's all good, looking forward to a couple of 3TB drives when they become nice n cheap :D

You can't pretend the system doesn't exist just because your operating system gets it wrong.
