Weighing in at a cool 500GB (465GB formatted capacity), Seagates ninth generation Barracuda drive is ideal for those of us with huge storage needs who dont have the room in our PC case for multiple disk drives.

Hard disk drives, one of the oldest forms of storage in the PC, are still being used to this day. Granted they have had a number of changes, they are still using the same principles that were used at their invention, a spinning metal disk inside a vacu...

Seagate may have been later to the market with its 300MB/s drives than that of Maxtor, WD or Samsung but Seagate has waited till the right time, when SATA 2.5 has been finalised, and this has proven to be a winning combination as far as we are concern...
