Looking for the ATA drive with biggest capacity? Then the new Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 hard drive with a gigantic capacity of 750GB and a large 16MB buffer may just be the thing for you! Link : Seagate 750GB Barracuda 7200.10 Hard Drive Pictorial Review!
This beast is on sale for US$399. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148134 Hehe, that's what my 400GB drive was going for when I won it. Oh how prices have come down!
Yeah, I've seriously been eying it, but decided that saving up for a new motherboard (with PCI-E) and a video card would be a better use of my money. I mean, my current 670GB is enough (even though it's usually all full), especially with my DVD burner. I also think I'll just buy a couple 300's instead (better $/gb ratio) and throw them in a network slave.

750gb too much for me @ the moment... my 100gb hdd is more than enough =D if its for performance, i would rather go for a raptor
Well, the Barracuda is meant for a different market. It's meant to offer large capacity first and foremost, followed by performance.
I've long ran out of space... now dunno what to delete and lazy to burn into DVDs. And I've even added another 250GB which ran out as well...
I mussst move on to greeeener SCSI like pastures! aghhhhh, damn i so wanna get a 4 disk SAS system, but no marney.....
SAS drives are even smaller in capacity, isn't it? It's not cost effective and we don't really require that sort of performance merely for storing pr0... datas.
^ around 147gb from a 2.5 inch HDD isn't that bad lah, they're small and fast, plus i store my "collection" on an array of Raptors (the high 1.2 million hours MTBF keeps my stuff safe), yeah, overkill, but still it means i keep only the best of the best
Definitely overkill. I mean, what's the point of having SAS RAID array to watch pr0n, you don't need even 100MB/sec+ performance, not even S-HD. I have Raptor for my Windows for snappier performance, not for my datas. I have a separate external HDD for backup.
Wow... I'm really impressed with drive. 750Gigs of storage, uf. About 1000 of divxes-1cds can fit on that
hmm, how come desktop hdd doesnt do the 15k rpm unlike scsi ones ar? the mfg has the technology to do.. & how come scsi hdd capcity all so low?
