"Seagate documents have leaked out the two 750GB 7200.10 Barracuda hard drives. The drives are the first desktop hard drives to use perpendicular recording, feature a 16MB cache and 7200RPM spindle."

Well looks like I should start saving to replace the arrays of hdds i currently got.

so the "perpendicular" questions are...

1. Is it just as or (hopefully) more reliable than current hdds?
2. Is it faster?
3. Is it more expensive?

We just took delivery of 8 x 500gig fibre attached drives. Got them for $800ea too after a misquote. (RRP~$4000ea)
