Strong performance and noticeably quieter than its predecessor. The Barracuda 7200.12 1TB is more than good enough for an OS drive, but also good bottomless storage for your movies and music ...
The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB hard drive is speedy and offers good value. If you need 1TB of data storage in a single drive, this is worth considering. ...

Abstract: Cette fois, le disque n'est pas le même. On est toujours sur du 500 Go à 7200 trs et du SATA II, mais cette fois le disque dur exploite un unique plateau de 500 Go, et 16 Mo de mémoire cache. Cela lui permettra normalement d'offrir des meilleures performances malgré le cache en moins, et sa hauteur est..
Abstract: Difficile de comparer des unités aussi différentes. Quand certaines sont plutôt destinées à un usage grand public de stockage, d'autres sont plutôt spécialisées dans des tâches plus contraignantes comme la mise en RAID ou l'accès aléatoire multi-utilisateurs. Les premiers sont..
