PC Stats have reviewed the Seagate 2TB Barracuda XT 6Gb/s SATA III Hard Drive, which seems to be a worthwhile consideration if you're looking to build a PC:

"In this review PCSTATS will be testing out Seagate's 2TB, 6Gb/s SATA III Barracuda XT hard drive. This 3.5" desktop hard drive features an increased 64MB onboard cache where other 2TB drives only have 32MB and it supports Native Command Queing (NCQ). The Barracuda XT is the performance oriented drive in Seagate's stables, a spindle speed of 7200RPM gives it a healthy maximum sustained data rate of 138MB/s.
The Barracuda family also includes 'Green' drives which are intended to reduce hard drive power consumption - the obvious side benefits being cool running and reduced noise levels. Vanilla Barracuda drives shore up Seagate's mainstream offerings, these drives have slightly less cache than the Barracuda XT family. Barracuda XT drive capacities range from 2TB to 3TB and offer a fantastic 5 year limited warranty."
