Hard Drives Evaluated for Noise, Heat and Performance

Posted by michael on Tuesday October 1, 2002 @06:51AM from the burning-issues dept.

Sander Sassen writes "Ever wondered what harddisks offer the best combination of performance and low noise? Hardware Analysis evaluates all recent 5400 and 7200-rpm harddisks and focuses on noise, heat production and overall performance. Their results show that 7200-rpm spindle speed is no guarantee for high-performance and that low-noise and high-performance is not an impossible combination with some harddisks."
