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...

Seagate varies its specifications more than any other manufacturer. The 640GB Barracuda boasts two platters and a 32MB cache; this 750GB drive has four 188GB platters but only 16MB of buffer, resulting in predictably reduced performance. Average read a...

The first hard drive that Seagate ever made was called the ST506, which fit into two 5.25in bays, and held a grand total of 5MB storage. Back when it was released in 1980, it cost many hundreds of dollars ($US1500 to be exact), and was more space than...
