AlienBabelTech.com conducted an extensive review of the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB drive and proclaimed it the best 1 TB drive available.
Why? It was the fastest drive tested, and a great value for well under $100.
Among other things, the Barracuda copied a 7 GB Crysis game folder 28 seconds faster than a 1 TB drive from another drive maker.
Seagate was able to achieve this by cramming 500GB on each platter in this 2-platter drive. That’s the best areal density available anywhere. Quite the feat!
Makes me wonder what AlienBabel will think of the new lightning-fast Barracuda XT drive with the same areal density, up to 2TB capacity and up to 64MB cache.
