Seagate Barracuda ES

Review @ Storage Review

Zitat

Despite its impressive access time and sequential transfer rates, Seagate's Barracuda ES does not deliver performance that matches that of the competition. Drives from Hitachi, WD, and Maxtor (now part of Seagate's own operations due to a recent merger) all continue to outperform this third-generation Seagate drive.

The drive's size, however, can not be easily overlooked. 750 gigabytes provides Seagate with a 50% capacity advantage over the competition, a margin greater than those found in any of the preceding performance tests. This translates not only to more capacity in the same physical space, but also can yield advantages in other ways- achieving a target capacity with less drives reduces the cost of supporting infrastructure, for example.

hm, in dem hitachi-video "get perpendicular" wird ja angepriesen dass dadurch die 10-fache kapazität erreicht werden kann.

- warum gibts dann noch keine 2 - 5 TB platten?
- warum verwendet seagate schon perpendicular recording aber hitachi, samsung und maxtor nicht?
