No real gain in access times in spite of the 5900 rpm rotation speed
Performance a good bit down on the best hard drives (but this was expected)
First of all, is the "green" technology, slower RPM, and less power consumption hurting performance? Yes, but only slightly when compared to the faster Barracuda 7200.12. However, the LP drives perform much faster in RAID 0 on the ASUS P6T Deluxe. The...
Weve seen the Barracuda LP 2TB perform at levels that rival our charted 7200 RPM drives and for a drive that just sips at power it has exceeded our expectations for a Green Drive. Most Green Drives operate at 5200 RPM and the 5900 RPM on the Barracud...
If you want to give a power user the heebie jeebies, start talking about low-power components. For enthusiasts, low-power, or Green, are just alternate terms for low-performance. And in most cases, thats true. This isnt one of them.Seagates Barrac...
Fast, consumes less energy than most conventional internal hard drives
Not as energy efficient as the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB
Seagate’s largest capacity internal hard drive has decent transfer speeds and good power efficiency. Though WD’s Caviar Green is more energy efficient, Seagate’s Barracuda LP is a great option for speed-critical tasks. ...
Those who want to say “I have a multi-Terabyte hard disk” would be quite pleased with this drive. A single HDD with such high densities is also useful for those building themselves a HTPC/NAS box. It sips less power than normal 7200RPM drives, without...
Abstract: PrintCommentEmailDiggDel.icio.usRedditTwitterWe have seen most of the prominent hard-drive manufacturers coming out with drives that are environment friendly accompanied by the tag 'Green.' Not being left out of the bandwagon, Seagate has introduced e...
Reducing energy consumption has been gaining increasing importance and hard drive manufacturers, who had primarily been focusing on performance, have finally started manufacturing drives with power saving features. After Western Digital, now it is Seag...
Abstract: “Space, we can all use all of it, but how much is enough, twice of space, four times, how about ten time of space”. Así es como empieza una campaña publicitaria lanzada en Japón hace unos años y entra como anillo al dedo al análisis de esta ocasión, ¿c...
Excellentes performances (dans la catégorie des disques économiques), Performances homogènes, Rapport capacité de stockage/prix très intéressant, Faible bruit
Pas de réel gain en temps d'accès malgré la vitesse de rotation poussée à 5900 tours/min, Performances largement en retrait des meilleurs disques durs (mais on s'y attendait)
Un excellent disque économique avec une grosse capacité de stockage. Il est le compagnon idéal des NAS, des amateurs de vidéo et des ordinateurs pas chers....
Du point de vue des performances pures, un disque dur se détache du lot, il s’agit du Caviar Black de Western Digital. Jamais mis à défaut, il s’offre le luxe d’être plus rapide qu’un VelociRaptor en tant que disque système, ce qui en ferait presque le...
