Hard disk drives are quickly and constantly growing up in capacities. Of course, every one of us would be glad to be presented a large HDD as a gift, but when it comes to purchasing one for your own money, there are other factors to consider. Some user...
Now that we’ve come to the end of today’s test session, we should name the fastest 500GB hard disk drive available today. There are actually two winners: the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 and the Western Digital Caviar Black. The former has somewhat higher...

As many of you know, recently Seagate released one of the largest consumer drives on the market: the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS . The drive’s capacity is 1.5 TB (1500 GB) or approximately 1.397 TB. The drive specifications are decent an...

Nearly 18 months ago, we published a review () of the then new Seagate 7200.11 1Tb, comparing it with the previous generations. Since then Seagate has stayed in the headlines for the 7200.11 series – and not for the best of reasons. Defective firmware...
The firmware SD1A certainly doesn’t appear to have harmed the ST31000340AS drives. Performance is robust, and reliability unaffected thus far. Current pricing makes them a very attractive buy, but certainly not the only choice – currently Samsungs 1Tb...

On the outside, Seagates 7200.11 1.5TB drive looks no different than the 1TB model. On the inside however, the platters are much more massive: 375GB vs. 250GB. Performance should be improved but will that be accompanied by extra noise?...
We view the 1.5TB 7200.11 from Seagate favorably — it is a fairly good compromise between noise and performance. Acoustically, it is a minor improvement over their 1TB drive — slightly quieter when idle with a bit less vibration, though this m...
