Seagate 500GB Barracuda 7200.9 SATA II HDD review

While 500GB drives are not as cheap per gigabyte as smaller capacity drives, the Barracuda 7200.9 500GB drive is one of the least expensive on the market at the time of this writing. Expect to pay right around $300 for this drive and even more for competing 500GB HDDs. That comes out to $0.60/GB or more, which can be about twice as much per gigabyte when compared to 250GB SATA drives.

When you look at the big picture, the 500GB Barracuda 7200.9 SATA II hard drive has a lot to offer, including solid performance, reliability, great warranty and a good price when compared to the competition. If you’re in the market for big storage, do yourself a favor, and put this drive on your list of considerations.
