Will this drive be more than a match for the ruling champion from Western Digital? Read on
Super fast speeds, runs cool, huge capacity, SATA-II.
None.
While hard drive capacity wars have been stagnant for quite some time (and it may be so until the dawn of next year), the war that is going on right now is about speed, energy efficiency and cost. We have reviewed the WD5000AAKS 500GB hard drive some weeks ago and were blown away by its performance. Seagate has its own contender, the Barracuda ST3500320AS 500GB, and we've got one of these today for our review.
Here are the specifications of the drive.
