If you have been keeping tabs on Seagate’s new 750GB hard drive you will want to take a look at The Tech Report’s review. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 hard drive uses perpendicular recording rather than longitudinal recording as its method of storing data. For an excellent explanation of this see the first page of the review, which also has a great graphic for all you visual people.
Though the Seagate 7200.10 fared at about the middle of the pack in many tests, it also excelled in others. The review puts it up against 10 other hard drives and does a good job of explaining the technology and how it compares to other hard drives.
The other great thing is that, for the money, the 7200.10 doesn’t cost that much more per gigabyte. If you are looking for a hard drive to store all that RAW HD footage you’re capturing (you wish) or just want to have hours upon hours of space available for your DV footage the Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 might just be the way to go.
