Pros low heat, low noise, good throughput all-around, slightly better performance than...
Cons Reaching an advertised 150MB/s is still a long way to go...

Recently, Seagate Barracuda SATA generation explodes with impressive option on storage capacity. Not long ago, I used to view that a hard drive with 120GB or 160GB would be more than enough for my data-storage need.

Pros Fast, cool, and high quality.

Recommended it? Yes

First of all, thanks to another reviewer's information, I realized that I have Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM hard drive, a newer model than the one listed here. So this review is for the model I have.

Very impressive speed. The nearly 40% increase in RPM over the... Read full review »

Pros Super fast performance for a mechanical drive. Quiet and reliable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It is 2010 and mechanical hard drives are soon to be displaced by solid state drives (SSD’s) which offer superior performance. At this time, there is still one problem to be overcome by solid state drives; price per gigabyte. Solid state drives are still 2 to 3 times the... Read full review »
