Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7200.10 Review

For all of you media PC enthusiasts, video editors or just plain storage hogs, the search for hard drive space is now over:

Before Perpendicular Recording Technology, we were not sure how drive manufacturers would deal with the demands for more storage space. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 was a good performer, but as we saw then, the lower capacity drives with denser platters tended to outperform the larger drives.

We think the latest Barracuda is much more of a jump from the 7200.9 than the 7200.8 and 7200.9 series were to the 7200.7. Perpendicular Recording Technology is certainly the star of the show here, but Adaptive Fly Height and Clean Sweep are supporting players that simply get the job done in keeping data intact without any intervention from the user. Add NCQ, huge storage capacity, 5-year warranty, and solid performance, and you have a drive well worth picking up. Recommended Award.
