Seagate has pipped the likes of Hitachi and Western Digital (WD) at the post to introduce what it claims is the world’s first 1.5 terabyte (TB) hard drive.

According to Seagate, “The debut of the Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB, 3.5-inches hard drive, the eleventh generation of Seagate’s flagship drive for desktop PCs, marks the single largest capacity hard drive jump in the more than half-century history of hard drives — a half terabyte increase from the previous highest capacity of 1TB, thanks to the capacity-boosting power of perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology.”
