Primary Firestorm Hard drive 300 GB

Advantages: Fast except multithread read,good capacity, stable, 5 years warranty
Disadvantages: Weak at multithread/multiple reads, a little noisy

...I've used a similar model for a long time and I have mixed opinions about 7200.10 hard drives. The good things of Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 Seagate hdd are the most stables drives in the market, I've used my drive for quite a time and never experienced a single problem. Large capacity, 320 GB is more than enough (300 Gb real) Good speed, especially at writing data, but also at reading excepting multiple file copy. Speed is about 75-80 Mb at large files The access time is about 13-14ms (about the same as other hdd) Temperature IS OK.

Good hard drive... Read review
