Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 vs. Barracuda ES
Hello,
How do You think which hdd will be better for home PC - Barracuda 7200.10 or Seagate Barracuda ES? HDD will work in as single drive (not in raid). Main advantage should be efficiency (performace) and reliability (solid). Noise level and temperature are less important for me. These hard drives are very similar and I just don't know which one to choose. Can You plese help me. Regards Kris |

I wouldn't be surprised if the ES firmware was optimized for multi-drive array performance too, but the lone benchmark I saw didn't show dignificant difference there. HDD will work in as single drive (not in raid). Main advantage should be efficiency (performace) and reliability (solid). Well, choosing "performance and reliablity" is not really criteria, is it? I mean, are these not implied in every purchase, excepting if someone just wants the cheapest thing possible? I think most of the benefits of the ES line are lost if not used in several-drive RAID arrays, but it might not hurt to have the features if you ever did want to put it in an array. So essentially for your current intended use, I don't think this choice will matter as much as other variables like luck and system fitness and your backup strategies. |
