2.5TB HDDs slated for 2009

Seagate’s foray into perpendicular recording technology continues to impress. At the IDEMA DISKCON, Seagate demonstrated technology featuring densities of 421 gigabits per square inch. That translates roughly to 2.5TB 3.5″ HDDs, and 500GB 2.5″ HDDs. Disks with the estimated capacities are slated for release by 2009.
