why, in this day and age of brilliant computing, are we not getting drives faster than 7200 rpm, c'mon, give SSD a run for their money...
What a pity its a Seagate !
Hope we some some progression down the SSD front as well. There's a nice thread on reddit frontpage that goes into it in detail.

5tb drives aren't even available for consumers in the uk yet and 6tb already. this is great. i wonder how much they will be and when the consumer models will be out
I would like to see a 3.5" HDD that has the facility to dock an SSD to it so you can effectively add your own nand to make a hybrid drive. With just a couple of platters for the HDD the physical size could be retained so that the combined drive still fitted in a 3.5" drive bay.
Dabs are taking orders for the 5TB Canvio USB enclosure with a "mid April" eta.
Going to disagree, what would be better was a variant of those 2x2.5" RAID bay adaptors you can get that did your caching. Then you wouldn't have to buy "special" drives, just a normal 2.5" HDD and a normal 2.5" SSD. Although if you were desperate to have a large capacity solution (2.5" drives only seem to come in 1TB sizes unless you want a WD Green) then like you I would have thought it physically possible to slot in an mSATA slot under the drive. Just as long as you don't end up with a nonsense like the WD Black2 that only works with particular configs of Windows.

5M RPM - good luck finding a bearing that'd stand that kind of abuse. But if you put a couple of those in your tower wouldn't the torque generated be able to start a slow rotation of your PC?
What, you mean physics isn't weird at rest too?

yeah I saw that email thus the comment. 6tb announced before 5tb ships. the 5tb is about £200 for the external unit. which means opening it up and getting no warranty or paying a chunk more for an internal model. so how much will the 6tb be and when will we get it?
to think I can replace 3x2tb drives with one single 6tb drive, increasing my maximum capacity inside a case by a considerable chunk. even going 4tb to 6tb is pretty great
