[Tech ARP] Western Digital 500 GB Caviar GP Hard Drive Review

[news 28]

Hello fellow editors!

 

Tech ARP ( http://www.techarp.com/ <http://www.techarp.com/>'>http://www.techarp.com/> ) has just

posted the Western Digital 500 GB Caviar GP Hard Drive Review.

 

Quote - Western Digital's line of Caviar GP have been considered by

many as a value-grade hard drive because of its low price. However,

nothing can be further from the truth.

 

Recently, we picked up a 500 GB model for our tests and we were most

impressed with its performance. Not only did it deliver a large storage

capacity using only two platters, it also delivered very good

performance numbers. For more details, take a look at our comprehensive

review.

 

Here's a quote from the review :-

 

"The use of perpendicular recording technology allowed Western

Digital to deliver a storage capacity of 500 GB using only two platters.

Fewer platters mean lower costs and lower power consumption. The high

areal density achieved using perpendicular recording also greatly

increased its platter-to-buffer transfer rate. Little wonder how it did

so well in our benchmarks."
