Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB Review

by Melissa J. Perenson

- Seagate's Barracuda 7200.10 750GB drive, the largest hard drive to date, sets new high-water marks for capacity, price, and performance. Its speed was especially notable on the PC World Test Center's write tests, where it came within a hair's breadth of matching Western Digital's swift 10,000-rpm Raptor X.

User Reviews for Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB

Reviewed by: stubi

Duration of ownership: 2 Months

Strengths: Gives you the nostalgic sound of disks you had 20 years ago.

Weaknesses: Noise and noise and noise - but extreme. Can hear the disk very well seeking from 10 meters away. This is where my room ends.

Overall Evaluation: I have a 7200.10 250 GB and a friend has a 7200.10 320 GB. Both are extremely noisy - seek noise. I have also 2 Maxtor Diamand 10, 1 Seagate 7200.9 and a Samsung - nothing to hear there... Avoid this disks. Seagate does not support Advanced Acoustic Management anymore. So there is no way to switch them to quiet mode. Dont use them for a desktop system.
