Unlike the competition, for over two years Western Digital has relied on a PATA – SATA bridge to transition the Caviar and Raptor series to the new standard. Things have finally changed with the Caviar WD2500KS, a desktop-oriented drive designed from the start with SATA in mind. Let’s take a look at how WD’s newest

As the latest entry in WD’s venerable Caviar JD line, the WD3200JD combines the firm’s established 7200 RPM platform with 107 GB platters to deliver 320 gigabytes of SATA capacity. In the past, Caviars have been the drives to beat. Does the tradition continue? Join StorageReview as we take a look at WD’s largest!

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 is the first drive to hit a 133 GB/platter density. It’s also the first Barracuda to utilize a three-platter design since the ATA III! Together, the result is a huge 400 GB flagship capacity and the potential for great performance. Does Seagate’s latest deliver? Read on to see how the 7200.8

Fujitsu’s MAT3300NP is the firm’s latest monstrous 300 GB workhorse that guns for Seagate’s Cheetah 10K.7 and Maxtor’s Atlas 10K V. A four-platter design, 4.5 ms seek time, and FDB motors should add up to quite a package. Let’s see how it rates!

Nearly two years ago, Maxtor’s Atlas 15K struggled with Fujitsu’s MAS3735 in a battle to claim the title of “world’s fastest drive.” Fujitsu’s next-generation unit, the MAU3147, has left the door slightly ajar- can the Atlas 15K II capitalize on the opening? Join StorageReview as we put Maxtor’s latest titan to the test!

Seagate’s seventh-generation 10,000 RPM Cheetah will be its last as the firm prepares to try and guide the industry to a smaller 2.5″ form factor. What kind of sunset does the Cheetah 10K.7 leave behind? Join StorageReview as we take a look at the final version of a true classic!

The Fujitsu MAS3735 has held the distinction as the “world’s fastest drive” for nearly two years. As a result, expectations run high for the MAS’s successor, the 147-gigabyte Fujitsu MAU3147. Join StorageReview as we examine how the MAU rates when compared to drives such as its predecessor and Seagate’s new Cheetah 15K.4.

Corporate purchasers and enthusiasts alike have all breathlessly awaited the next-generation of 15,000 RPM monsters from the likes of Seagate, Maxtor, Fujitsu, and Hitachi. The first of this highly-anticipated new breed has finally met StorageReview’s Testbed3. How does Seagate’s Cheetah 15K.4 fare? Join us as we take a look at this 147 GB, 15K RPM

For the better part of two decades, the standard for hard drive chassis has rested with the 3.5″ form factor. In an effort to integrate more spindles per cubic foot, however, industry-giant Seagate has started shifting its enterprise-oriented offerings towards a more svelte 2.5″ standard. How does the firm’s first implementation stack up? Let’s take
