But a detail nonetheless.

Expensive
None that we could find.
500 GB version provides best bang for buck value
No feature that really sets the drive above the crowd.

Abstract: Those who wanted to ship their terabyte hard drives fast came in late this time. Im referring to Samsung and Seagate, who intended to overtake Hitachi by providing terabyte hard drives based on a higher data densities, and thus using a smaller platter cou...
With 250GB platters, 32MB of cache, and a 7,200-RPM spindle speed, the Barracuda 7200.11 should be the fastest high-capacity drive on the market. Except that it isnt. Results from our performance testing are mixed at best, with the new cuda excelling...
Abstract: Youre probably thinking that by the time a product hits its 11th generation, it might be starting to wear a little thin. But if you have that notion about Seagates Barracuda 7200.11 series of hard drives, youll need to revamp your preconceptions. N...
