Hitachi's 500GB SATA-II Reviewed

Posted by Zonk on from the big-and-fast dept.

Doggie Fizzle writes "The specifications for the Hitachi Desktstar 7K500 are impressive. 500 GB of disk space, 16 MB of cache memory, and 3.0 Gbps of transfer speeds are about as good as you are going to get in today's hard drives. The only category that might be rivaled is transfer speed, but that would require RAID or an Ultra320 SCSI drive to do so. This BigBruin review matches it up with some Seagate drives to show off its performance."

    I haven't read your linked article yet, but I gotta say I've seen many 40GB DeathStars fail. I don't know what they were called exactly though..
