Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120GB (SATA) Review

We recently reviewed the 2MB buffer version of the Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 which was supposedly a lower-cost variant of their 7200.7 series. In that article, we saw a not-so-exciting performance of the new Barracuda 7200.7. Basically, much of its advantages brought about by the larger 80GB per platter technology was not truly realized due to its smaller cache size.

Today, we’ll look at the flagship model of the series which comes with a large 8MB buffer. The 8MB version of the Barracuda 7200.7 comes with two different offerings, one based on the Ultra ATA-100 interface and the other for the new Serial ATA standard. The SATA version is the flagship model which we’ll be reviewing in this article today.
