The BarraCuda hard drive is offered in six capacities: 5TB, 4TB, 3TB, 2TB, 1TB, and 500GB. We call it Multi-Tier Caching and it would be like owning a smart car that continuously tunes itself up as you drive - always performing at peak efficiency for the task at hand.” “These algorithms then get to work tweaking every aspect of FireCuda’s operations so that the drive is always perfectly synchronous with the unique way you work and play. “We’ve also developed highly sophisticated caching algorithms that continuously analyze how you use your system,” the company said on Monday. This flash component is backed by special firmware that controls data management and storage when programs are in use and during system-based tasks. The latter model includes 8GB of flash memory to enable faster boot times and quicker program loads. Seagate introduced 1TB platters for 2.5-inch hard drives in January and now the company is injecting this technology into two hard drives for laptops: the 5TB BarraCuda and the 2TB FireCuda.
