There's fresh word from Seagate tonight on the specifics of its forthcoming 1 TB drive. Like previous Barracudas, it'll be a four-platter system, which will be Seagate's bone of contention with Hitachi GST - it's using a five-platter system. Both sides are claiming benefits, as Sharon Fisher discovered.

Scott Fulton, BetaNews: With conventional hard drives breaking through to terabyte capacities, you might think that flash memory-based fixed components would have no breathing room left in computers. But with both Seagate and Hitachi GST acknowledging today the attractiveness of their forthcoming terabyte drives as bulk storage devices, it appears a window may be left open for the solid-state disk (SSD) after all. It might not replace the hard drive in desktop computers, though it could certainly supplement it, perhaps as the boot drive.
