  • Abstract:  This is the highest-capacity drive in Western Digitals new Caviar Black range, which puts an emphasis on performance. However, while Western Digital disks have dominated our Also Consider... list in recent months, this model doesnt do enough to ...

  • The Barracuda 7200.11 has an enormous capacity, is very fast, has a modest price and operates quietly. It's clear that SSDs will replace hard drives in time, but with drives like the 1.4TB Barracuda around, that still lies some way in the future. ...
