The Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750 GB SATA—Seagate’s first hard drive built upon perpendicular storage—is currently the storage behemoth in our test lab. The new recording technology has enabled Seagate to provide oodles of space for all those games and that meticulously-maintained MP3 and movie collection. Seagate has, surprisingly, positioned this drive for the gamer, movie buff, and lower enterprise segment, which doesn’t need the raw speed of the faster 10,000 rpm drives. HD Tach clocked it at a read burst speed of 86.1 MBps—impressive, though CPU utilisation was a bit on the higher side at 26.8 percent. It also posted impressive data transfer scores in SiSoft Sandra 2005 Pro. The size doesn’t seem to affect the performance at all. Overall, we’re very impressed with this Goliath. Although it’s a bit of overkill for lesser mortals like us, if space is what you crave and your pockets are deep enough, this one is sure to satisfy!
