5,900rpm is a good balance between speed and efficiency.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/
Realistically, there is no reason why you need an extremely high number of IOPS on a storage drive. This only comes into play when youve got an application that feeds upon data access that cannot be stored in the RAM (a database for example).

Plus, if you want really fast drive space, get a few of them, stripe the drive to about half capacity and place them all in RAID 0. Youll end up with something faster than dual raptors.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 23rd 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 4:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/

Vista will not boot from anything bigger than 2TB without issues.

Then in order to create the drive in Disk Management you will need to make it a GPT disk.
XP will NOT be able to read this if its GPT, just FYI.]]>Jun 16th 2009 3:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 6:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 22nd 2009 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/
unless these have a power consumption low enough that they will power off a usb port or 2 then i dont see any point in them.

it would be nice to have a cheap usb powered external, 2.5" drives are too small in capacity and cost lots.]]>Apr 22nd 2009 10:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/Apr 23rd 2009 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/22/seagate-rolls-out-low-power-barracuda-lp-hard-drives/
