Seagate Barracuda 400GB 7200.8 Hard Drive Review

Viper Lair checks out Seagate’s latest monster hard drive, the Barracuda 400GB 7200.8. :

One clear advantage the Barracuda 7200.8 has over the Raptor is the price per Gigabyte ratio, as well as total capacity. The Raptors aren’t cheap, and though the test drive we reviewed will still set you back almost $300 USD, you do gain well over 300GB formatted. Another advantage Seagate holds over the industry is their 5-year warranty, which should be long enough to cover you until it’s time for another drive upgrade.. ..the Barracuda 7200.8 is a decent performer and with the available storage options, capacity should not be an issue.
