Price per gigabyte a little high The Final Word While two 250GB drives may be cheaper
Having 500GB in a single drive is very convenient. The 7200.9 is quiet
Abstract: Seagate 500GB Barracuda 7200.9 Serial ATA Hard DriveSeagate has pushed the capacity of their desktop drives even further with the release of the Barracuda 7200.9 SATA hard drive. Thats half a terabye of storage space in a single drive! The Barracuda 7...
The noise character of the 7200.9 was a bit of a disappointment. The mysterious whine-at-a-distance that only showed up with the drive in certain positions was highly irritating for me, although Mike did not seem to mind it so much. That said, we have...

Abstract: This drive isnt twice as fast as old-style SATA predecessors, but its a great performer for the price. The Seagate is fast. And with a cost per gigabyte of just 29p, its very economical too. To the untrained eye, the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 is no...
Abstract: A lot of storage, together with good performance make this a tempting drive. But it isnt the best value for money If you keep a lot of media on your PC, the Barracuda 7200.9, which offers 465GB of storage after Windows formatting, is a seriously temp...

Abstract: At a total capacity of 500 GB per hard drive, the industry should seriously consider to split between high capacity and high performance hard drives, because the latest Seagate drive makes a step backwards in performance. Seagate wants it all these d...
