This drive isnt twice as fast as old-style SATA predecessors, but its a great performer for the price. The Seagate is fast. And with a cost per gigabyte of just 29p, its very economical too. To the untrained eye, the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 is no...

As with all of the largest hard disks, the 500GB 7200.9s biggest downside is its price. At 51p per GB, this drive is more costly than Hitachis equally massive Deskstar 7K500, and you could pick up three Deskstar T7K250s for the same money and have 50...
