Seagate Barracuda 400GB 7200.8

Today we'll be checking out Seagate's newest monster, the Barracuda 400GB 7200.8. As the name implies, the drive sports a massive 400GB capacity and if that sounds like overkill, think about it for a second. The average Windows XP install, with Service Pack 2, as well as a typical installation of Office 2003 and some productivity apps will use anywhere from six to ten Gigabytes. Add ten modern games with multiple installation discs, and you'll eat up at least 50GB more.

As I mentioned in a previous thread - this drive rules. How else can a 400gig 7200RPM drive beat out a 36gig 10000 RPM Raptor - answer - its a Seagate.
