Seagate just announced the world’s first 2TB hard drive that uses the 6Gbps SATA interface, making it also the world’s fastest hard drive, according to Seagate. The Barracuda XT uses 4x 500GB platters that spin at 7200RPM with a 64MB cache. The cool thing is, it’s backward compatible with today’s 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps SATA controllers, You can grab one these bad boys now for a reasonable price of $299.
