Seagate's 11th generation 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard disk was the first 1.5TB disk to market, and although it's been around for a while, it's still a very capable and popular drive.It's easy to see why, with its combination of performance, capacity...

Like the 1TB version, this 7200.11 is based on relatively old technology, so it’s at a disadvantage. Its most prominent weakness is power consumption: it’s quoted as drawing 8.3W idle and 10.8W in operation, which is no worse than the 1TB model, but st...
