Internal 750GB Drive From Seagate Is Big, Fast

Melissa J. Perenson

Seagate's 750GB drive uses perpendicular recording.

The new number one drive on our internal hard drives chart is Seagate's Barracuda 7200.10 750GB. The first 3.5-inch drive to employ perpendicular magnetic recording technology, the 7200.10 offers the most storage you can get in a single drive and posted top-flight performance numbers. Also new this month: Maxtor's 500GB DiamondMax 11 (in fifth place on our internals chart), and Apricorn's well-designed EZ Bus DTS SATA (in second place among the externals). Notably missing: A 500GB internal unit from Seagate (it ranked sixth) and 500GB external drives from Western Digital (in tenth) and WiebeTech (in seventh).
