Your desktop application needs and budget will determine capacity, performance and interface choices. A good rule of thumb is to buy as much capacity as you can afford, because demands on desktop storage space are always increasing.

In our Seagate Barracuda® and Maxtor® DiamondMax® lines, capacities range from 40 GB to 750 GB, with Parallel and Serial ATA, USB and FireWire interfaces and excellent performance at all levels.
