14 DAY TRIAL // Seagate hasn't started selling its latest solid state drives yet, but it has made the official announcement, marking the first entrance in the consumer business.
The 600 Series are 2.5-inch units with 6 Gbps SATA support and up to 480 GB capacity.
The 600 Pro are more or less the same, only they have lower power consumption and are meant for servers and cloud centers.
That leaves the 1200 SSD collection, which come in an SAS interface of 12 Gbps, and 1.8-inch or 2.5-inch form factors. The top capacity is 800 GB.
Shipments should start soon, or at least PCs using them will appear in retail in the near future. Seagate didn't exactly share the availability and pricing details, sadly.
“By adding more SSDs to our family of hard disk and solid state hybrid drives, we now have the broadest portfolio of storage products in the industry, delivering one-stop shopping for our customers and partners,” said Gary Gentry, senior vice president and general manager of Seagate’s solid state drive business.
