Hard disk drives are today's fastest permanent storage media and have a large capacity. For this two reasons they are the most used storage medium in computers and servers. When buying a new hard disk, there are three important things to consider: - The connection of the disk to the computer or other device you will be using it with has a big influence on the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk. Make sure the connection of the disk you buy is compatible with your computer! - The rotational speed is also important for the speed with which data can be read from/written to the disk and determines the time it takes to find a file on the disk. - Last but not least, the storage capacity of the disk, i.e. the amount of data that can be stored on the disk.

We cant help feeling that Western Digital is being held back by its platter technology. Doubling the cache and adding S-ATA II to an antiquated 83GB-per-platter design seem like quick fixes, rather than a real upgrade. Why wasnt the SE16 launched wit...

It seems like only yesterday we recommended the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (web ID: 88756), and marvelled that you could get 750GB of storage for just £234. A year down the line, and its time to marvel again. The SE16 provides 750GB, but for just 17...

Bottom line As we can see from the tests above, the Seagate wins in most of the tests. For the experienced or even novice computer techies, the Seagate would be a better choice. With a 5 year warranty, compared to the Western Digital’s 3 years, the Seagate come...

The 640GB Caviar Blue shares several specifications with the disappointing 500GB model, including a 16MB cache and 7,200rpm spindle speed - but the use of denser 320GB platters boosts performance. Results of 90.5MB/sec in our file read test and 79.1MB/...
Bottom line Neither cheap enough nor fast enough to keep up with its rivals...

Although it offers slightly less storage, this 640 GB version of WesternDigitals Caviar Blue SE 16 is a direct competitor to Samsungs 750 GB SpinPoint F1.With just two 320 GB platters (see right), this hard drive manages to be faster than Samsungs a...

Weve been talking about the Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) technology ever since we reviewed the Seagate ST3750640AS; and by now, we all know that they are the in thing. This is mainly due to the fact that they offer higher capacities than c...
Good 16 MB buffer, Performance boosting features, Good performance, Silent.
Bad Heats up a lot, Expensive.
Bottom line As you can see from the performance results, the WD Caviar 7500AAKS performs almost as good as the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000, which, by the way, was a blazing fast drive. We also tested the drive under real-world conditions by transferring loads of data...
