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.

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/...

Western Digitals latest internal SATA hard disk has a capacity of 640GB, as it consists of two 320GB platters. We were sceptical about Western Digitals claims that this design would improve file-copying performance, but we were pleasantly surprise...

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...
