Seagate 3TB HDD in the works but hindered by technical issues

By Leave a Comment


 

Seagate has confirmed the rumor related to its capacious 3TB hard drive. Seagate’s Senior Product Manager, Barbara Craig confirmed to Thinq that the 3TB enterprise-class HDD is scheduled to launch by end of this year provided the technical issue gets sorted.

The issue is not from Seagate’s end but from the PC industry because of the use of original LBA (logical block addressing) that cannot assign addresses to hard drives in capacities of more than 2.1TB. This problem can be solved by assigning Long LBA addressing however the widely used Windows XP OS does not support it.

Another issue is the implementation of UEFI support but Craig says “80 percent of the infrastructure’s ready to support it”.
