Beating the crowds to Singapore EXPO
SITEX 2011 @ Singapore EXPO from 24 - 27 November
Barely back from one week in KL, I trundled down to Singapore EXPO to get that replacement printer.
First off, I nearly drove to Suntec City, before remembering that SITEX was the only one of the four annual IT expositions held in Singapore EXPO.
On the way there, the radio was warning of traffic build-up at Simei. Fortunately, the TomTom VIA 280 GPS recommended a route that brought me to the car parks behind the Singapore EXPO, where there was no jam and plenty of lots.
I’d always parked in the car parks at the front of Singapore EXPO and never realized there was this big car park on the other side.
At any rate, I got what I needed and got out before it became really crowded.

Seagate is streamlining its flagship family of desktop drives under a single product that focuses on performance and big capacities – to cater to the explosive growth in content creation and consumption by businesses and consumers.
The new Barracuda family makes it easier for consumers to find the product they need and reduces costs for Seagate’s original equipment manufacturer and distribution channel customers by reducing the number of product qualifications and amount of inventory they need to manage.
The new Barracuda hard drive – to be available first at online retailers – is designed for desktop, tower or all-in-one personal computers; workstations, home and small business servers; “Our OEM and channel customers want to reduce overhead costs by having fewer product lines to qualify and manage in their inventory,” said Scott Horn, vice president of Marketing at Seagate.network-attached storage devices; direct-attached storage expansion; and home and small-business RAID solutions.

The simplification of the Barracuda family comes as Seagate begins volume shipments of its 1TB-per-disk Barracuda hard drive. Seagate plans to end production of its Barracuda Green drive in February 2012.
Seagate analysis shows that its new Barracuda drives have a nearly identical power-consumption profile as energy-efficient desktop drives but deliver much higher performance. Barracuda XT, Seagate’s fastest desktop hard drive, will be folded into the new Barracuda family and re-emerge, in name, as the company’s desktop solid state hybrid drive.
Technical specifications
The new Barracuda hard drive features a SATA 6GB/second interface, 7200RPM spin speed and up to 64MB cache to deliver high performance across all capacities.
Seagate’s SmartAlign technology, a feature of Seagate’s Barracuda Green drives, will continue to ship with the flagship Barracuda drives to help the hard drive industry segue from the current 512-byte sector standard for hard drives to the new 4096-byte sector size.
