7200.10 Seagate drives ?

[bigbong]

Are these drives any good, I am looking at the 16meg 320gig one for my main windows and games drive.

Found one at a good price (damaged box) for 55quid inc vat and delivery. which is not a problem with the 5 year warrenty.

Should I go for it ? or can I get faster \ better for around the samr price.

I just rebuilt my RAID array with 4 of them.......nice drives, very fast although a smidging noisier then the Maxtor DiamondMax 10s they replaced

You won't get any high-capacity drive faster than the 7200.10s, by the looks of it. Very quick indeed.

I've had a 400gb one that's failed recently (about 3 weeks old), and will get around to RMAing soon. Also got a 320gb one, and it's been fine so far, touch wood.

From scan, so yeah you got a nice deal, and tbh I seagate for the win, when it comes to redundancy. I've had more WD drives fail on me than any other brand, but yet i keep go back lol.

Raptors pwn, so perhaps getting 150gb version ? if your more worried about speed and resilience than your wallet.

Be careful I orderd what i thought was thst drive, and they gave me a the 7200.9. At the time they had no .10's.
