Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB (ST32000542AS) Review @ HardwareLogic

[news 28]

*Title: *Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB (ST32000542AS) Review ( -at -) HardwareLogic

 

*Quote: *Seagate might not have been the first to reach the next

terabyte milestone -- Western Digital holds that distinction -- but the

company can claim the fastest 2TB hard drive on the block. Like WD's 2TB

model, Seagate's Barracuda LP sports a slower rotational speed than

performance-oriented drives in order to cut back on power consumption

and save energy. Only Seagate didn't scale all the way back to 5400RPM,

a long-time standard among low-power drives, and instead put the breaks

on at 5900RPM, giving it a slight advantage over the competition.

Rotational speed aside, how do the two stack up on paper?
