Maximum PC gave the 2-platter 1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 drive a score of 9/10 – “Kick ass” in their ratings system. It blew away the competition in performance.
What’s the big deal about two platters?
- More data per disk means higher areal density, which means better performance.
- Seagate is the first drive manufacturer to get to 1 TB on just 2 platters.
Two terabyte drives like Seagate’s Barracuda LP are all the rage right now. But Maximum PC points out that two 1 TB Barracuda 7200 drives can be had for less than the price of one 2 TB Western Digital Caviar drive – and blow it away in performance and reliability at the same time.
The biggest drive is rarely the fastest drive. Choose wisely.
