I checked the Seagate website and found that Seagate has changed some of their desktop models without much fuss (no announcements). They have new 3.2, 5.1 GB and 6.5 GB drives spinning at 4500 rpm. These are 1.6 GB/platter drives, apparently Seagate is not skipping this areal density entirely. The 6.5 GB Medalist Pro (which was 5400 rpm) seems to have been phased out. Their 5400 rpm family includes the previously announced 2.1 GB/platter drives (2.1, 4.3, 6.5 and 8.6 GB) plus a 2.5 GB model (1.3 GB/platter) formerly Medalist Pro). Looks like Seagate is finally moving away from their ancient <= 1.0 GB/platter areal density models.
