Seagate USB 2.0 5GB Pocket Hard Drive Expert Reviews

The Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5TB ST315005FDA2E1-RK hard drive is a large drive that can store tons of data but its wonky performance and debated reliability makes it an iffy purchase. Consider this one an “at your own risk” purchase

Low Price and Large Capacity is a Nice Bargain, Lightweight makes it easy to take with you, High failure rate is a big red flag, Some units reported to be extremely loud, Sensitive device ; light drops will cause failure

The Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5TB ST315005FDA2E1-RK Hard Drive offers a ...

It was a big month for storage. Not only did Western Digital bring to the market the first 2TB consumer hard drive, but Seagate came to the game with another milestone: a two-platter 1TB drive. Both offerings contain 500GB platters, the highest ...

First two-platter 1TB drive ; wicked-fast. Beats previous contender easily

Somewhat high MSRP ; higher random-access writes than expected

The 1TB 7200.12 has much in common with drives from the previous generation of Barracudas: It features 32MB of L2 cache, 7,200rpm rotational speeds, and SATA 3Gb/s data transfer with Native Command Queuing. The 7200.12, though, needs just two platters ...

Seagate's line of external 2.5" drives are well designed for the mobile user. The enclosure for the 2.5" notebook drive is small, light, and sturdy. We've used and abused this drive for months, toting it around in a number of different ways with no ...

We're going to start off our benchmarks with the SiSoft Sandra Removeable Storage Benchmark. This program tests drive performance measuring read/write throughput of many different file sizes

The FreeAgent Pro from Seagate is an external hard disk storage solution (320GB, 500GB, 750GB, and 1TB configurations) that makes it easy for Windows users to backup their data. It is housed in a black enclosure with a metal like paint finish, and the ...

The Kodak ESP3 is a handsome device with a small footprint - approx 16.5" x 11" on your desktop, meaning it takes up slightly more space than a 15.4" laptop. That means it should fit easily on most desks with room to spare. It outputs excellent text, ...

Seagate's fourth generation of Momentus notebook drives are here. We take their largest capacity model for a spin today.

The Seagate Momentus Hard Disk has been one of the best notebook drives to come out, with the exception of the Hitachi 7200RPM models that is. It's one of, if not the fastest 5400RPM notebook drive out there

Seagate blessed Bjorn3D this week with the Momentus 5400.4 RPM 250GB. It is powered by low RPMs, perpendicular magnetic recording technology, 5 year warranty and proven quality. [

  250GB storage Capacity,   Very fast,   8MB cache,   Quiet,   5 year warranty,   300 Mb/sec

  It is not 7200 RPM

All things aside, this hard drive is a great contender in the race for sizeable capacity, speed, quietness and longevity and we at Bjorn3D give it a 9 out of a possible 10 and the Gold Bear Award for excellence

We look at Seagate's 11th gen Barracuda series HDD in 1TB form to see how far things have come for mechanical storage. Introduction

Hard disks by far are the slowest part of the computer today when it comes to the mechanical nature of them; granted, DVD drives are slower still, but they aren't used for storing the Operating System or Virtual Memory which the hard disk plays the ...

The only slight downside is that the Seagate doesn't offer the fastest access times so if you want SCSI-like responsiveness the Hitachi is arguably the better choice of the two. If heavy data transfers are more your thing however, the Seagate is king ...

The Barracuda 7200.10 is a beast of a drive that will be able to tackle even heavy data transfers without breaking a sweat.

Though there are larger drives available, they do not fit into everyones budget. Simply going from 500GB to 320GB cuts the price in half, which makes this almost a steal. We will compare with one of our recently reviewed 500GB drives and see how it ...

Seagate's portable external drive sports the highest capacity in its class, by 40GB, thanks to its perpendicular recording technology, which packs more data on every platter of the hard drive. It comes in a rough-and-ready aluminum enclosure that ...

Huge capacity, rugged shell, and decent software

Software bundle is lacking compared with Maxtor's package

During speed tests, the Seagate was right in the thick of things. In our 5GB read and write tests it took second place, lagging slightly behind the Maxtor drive (reviewed next), but the two drives' performance was virtually tied. So, the Seagate drive ...
