Abstract: I find my hard drive getting smaller by the day; some of you might have the same feeling. With photos and videos being created daily from my growing family, it is time to look for larger hard drive. Hard drives are becoming a good bargain lately, as lo...
Maxtor and Seagate did not allow Hitachi GST to enjoy being the only manufacturer that offers a high-capacity series for long (Deskstar 7K500 series). They have crossed the 500 GB line for a single desktop hard drive using newer technologies (platters...

Not as quiet as some other drives
Other than the slight noise issue mentioned earlier I have no complaints with the Seagate ST 3500641AS hard drive. While some of you might have concerns about the fact that this hard drive is factory re-certified and not brand new, I havent had any re...

The Barracuda 7200.9 looks to be one of Seagates most impressive hard drive series yet based on what we have just seen from their half a terabyte behemoth. Seagate has been sailing along very smoothly in recent times with their Barracuda 7200.8 being s...

More expensive per gigabyte than smaller capacity 7,200 RPM drives
