Seagate today officially launched the new Barracuda 7200.10 750GB HDD. This is the first HDD to feature a whopping storage capacity of 750GB.

To meet the growing storage capacity requirements of both PCs and servers, the Barracuda 7200.10 family provides 200GB to 750GB of capacity on the strength of industry-leading data density of 130 Gigabits per square inch (up to 188 Gigabytes per disc). Seagate's unmatched data density delivers the best reliability and performance of any PC hard drive in its class.

Barracuda 7200.10 also features cache sizes from 8MB to 16MB and 1.5Gb/s and 3.0Gb/s Serial ATA (SATA) data transfer rates with Native Command Queuing. NCQ enhances reliability in heavy workloads by reducing head movement and streamlining the delivery of queued commands to the drive.

The HDD has a 5-year warranty, the price and availability isn't known yet.
