Submission + - Seagate's 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Drive Tested (hothardware.com)
MojoKid writes: "Seagate was surprisingly late to join the small, but elite club of storage
manufacturers shipping
one terabyte (1TB) class hard drives. First out of the gate was Hitachi, who
made it to market several months beforehand with a high-density five-platter 1TB
hard disk design. While Hitachi's performance, thermals, and acoustics have all
been tested to be fairly solid, many high-end buyers have been waiting for other
manufacturers, namely Western Digital and Seagate, to get into the mix as well.
This review shows that,
the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 is one of the most advanced consumer level
hard disks on the market. The drive showcases second generation perpendicular
recording, 32 MB of cache, excellent multi-tasking performance, very light power
consumption and relatively quiet acoustics, not to mention its massive 1 Terabyte capacity."
