Seagate has announced the availability of the 2TB FireCuda and 5TB BarraCuda mobile drives. Both products are based on Seagate’s 2.5 inch 1TB drive introduced in January and are also new entries in the recently launched Guardian Series.
The 2TB FireCuda is touted as the fastest, thinnest and lightest 2TB hard drive available in the market, using 8GB of flash to enable rapid boot times and game load speeds. It includes new firmware and caching algorithms that continuously analyze how a system is being used. These algorithms then get to work tweaking every aspect of FireCuda’s operations so that the drive is always synchronous with the unique way each user works and plays.
The 5TB BarraCuda drive will be available in a 7mm mobile or laptop upgrade design and a 15mm design for external solutions.
