So far so good

byslayek Feb 20, 2009

Pros Looks good, cheap.
Cons None so far
Recommended it? Yes

Back in 2001 when I started digital photography, maximum size of a photo I used to get was about 1.5MB and I was happy with my big 40GB harddrive. As time goes by, digital advance made my 40GB harddrive almost obsolate.. Point is, space is always a matter of time to be filled up by and I purchased... Read full review »

Seagate 1 TB External Hard Drive

Pros A good buy at $75 right now with plenty of room for data.
Cons This product does hummm a little when it is processing.
Recommended it? Yes

I bought one of these about a year ago and it is still humming along fine. It looks sleek and not cheesy, it is more or less perfect for storing all of my music and pictures and truck rally videos. Unplug it when it is not in use because it will use a little power if it is still plugged in. Read full review »

Pros Fast, cool, and high quality.
Cons Little bit noisy.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, thanks to another reviewer's information, I realized that I have Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM hard drive, a newer model than the one listed here. So this review is for the model I have.

Very impressive speed. The nearly 40% increase in RPM over the... Read full review »

WD VelociRaptor 150GB - The last great mechanical hard drive

byKAR120C Jun 5, 2010
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Super fast performance for a mechanical drive. Quiet and reliable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It is 2010 and mechanical hard drives are soon to be displaced by solid state drives (SSD’s) which offer superior performance. At this time, there is still one problem to be overcome by solid state drives; price per gigabyte. Solid state drives are still 2 to 3 times the... Read full review »
