Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 Hard Drive Review

April 1st 2005 | Storage

Of course, there’s more to the Barracuda 7200.8 than just its performance. First, the drive is available in capacities up to 400GB. Maxtor’s DiamondMax 10 tops out at only 300GB, and while Hitachi Global Storage has 400GB drives available, they don’t support Native Command Queuing. The Barracuda 7200.8 also boasts a five-year warranty that’s unmatched by 7,200-RPM drives from other manufacturers. Depending on your priorities, the extra warranty coverage may make up for the drive’s slightly higher noise levels and lackluster IOMeter performance. I know it does for me.
