Seagate's revolution!!

Seagate's 1 Terabyte Hard drive!

Finally Seagate has released a 1 Terabyte Hard drive following the Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 which was released over six months ago. Seagate has been the first alternative of the 1 Terabyte Hard drive since Hitachi release their 7K1000. After six months of wait we all will surely be expecting some difference between the Hitachi and Seagate. The main difference between the Seagate and Hitachi is that the Seagate has an advantage over the performance wise. In features wise, Seagate has no advantage over the Hitachi. But concerning the performance wise, using the SATA-II interface makes the maximum transfer rate of 3GBps.

The Seagate ST31000340AS is priced at £180 but the 750GB is just £115 and the 500GB is £50. So if you don’t really need them in 1GB then it is cheaper to get a 750GB because the 1TB has just been released. But if you want a 1GB then the Seagate ST31000340AS is the best option in the market.

Trusted Review has given Seagate the following results:
- Features 6/10
- Performance 9/10
- Value 9/10
