New Seagate Hard Drives Ruined My Week
Okay, so I was finally set to buy a new computer (still thinking Falcon Northwest)… then Seagate goes and announces… “the introduction of the world's first desktop hard drive to hit the 750GB capacity mark. The monster drive is part of the new Barracuda 7200.10 family built on perpendicular recording technology to meet the growing storage capacity, performance and reliability requirements of desktop computers and low-end servers.” Great. Now I have to wait and see the benchmarks, and then wait for someone to assemble a system with the new Barracuda 7200.10 (likely a 4800+ unless Intel gets their act together before long). I don't want to buy something right now, knowing that a leap like this just happened. It's a huge leap! If I had that much disk space, I could download half the Internet and still have room left over for more videos. Big hard drive: gooooooooooood.

Top 5 reasons Chris Pirillo doesn't sound like a computer expert in this blog entry:
-This drive will be overpriced when first available.
-You could add this drive later to any system you buy now.
-Smaller drives in RAID will be faster and cheaper than this drive.
-Waiting to purchase a computer system until the latest greatest is available equates to waiting forever.
-You still can't store everything you want on this hard drive.

I agree with the previous comment. It’s usually not a good idea to buy new technology the instant it comes out.
