![]() I noticed that all these proprietary external hard drives had at least 7500 rpm with cache ranging from 8MB - 16 MB (one of the factors determining their price). I realized that these proprietary external hard drives were more expensive with lesser specification that those you can build yourself. I then shortened my shortlist to Seaget's Free Agent and HP's Personal Media because - they were well priced and more reliable.īut then I had a change of mind. ![]() So I went on web search for those external hardrives - I came across Lacie, Cavalry, WD - My Book, Seagate's Free Agent and HP's Personal Media Drive. Made sense over the 500GB ones (why not get 750 GB when you can get them :-) ) Lesser platter numbers than the 1TB ones (though more than the 500GB) need to be tried and tested and I was not going to be the guinea pig) Presumably more stable and reliable (my theory:- since the latest techs. First I went for the 750 GB hard drive instead of the 1 TB ones because:. I was hunting around for a back up hard-drive since my 250 GB laptop was catching up with me. ![]() This is mostly because to break the 500 GB barrier the head movement had to change to perpendicular which was extremely difficult to be plausible untill recently. First by Hitachi and now Seagate and WD has followed with their own 1 TB hard-drives. As you might have all heard about the 1 Terabyte barrier being broken.
