Having 500GB in a single drive is very convenient. The 7200.9 is quiet
500GB!!! (only takes two for 1TB), Good performance, Less expensive than competition, 5 year warranty!, 16MB cache
More expensive per gigabyte than smaller capacity 7,200 RPM drives

Abstract: Processors are incredibly fast, RAM is rocketing its way through our games, and videocards pack more punch than ever. With all these screamingly fast system components available, often the hard drive is neglected. It?s a commonly known fact that despit...
The Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 is a step in the right direction as the extra cache and 3.0Gbps transfer rate will make it more competitive with similar products on the market. The 500GB review drive weve looked at today is not going to win many speed r...
