Roundup: 250-320GB Hard Disk Drives with 5400RPM Spindle Rotation Speed .
Xbit Laboratories.com 20090315
Some time ago 250-gigabyte hard disk drives could be found but rarely in notebooks and external storage devices and were practically unavailable in retail shops, so we had problems writing our review of them. The situation has changed considerably since then. Notebooks with a hard disk of that capacity are widely available in shops, and you can easily buy an individual 250GB 2. 5-incher in every computer shop. Therefore we have collected 2. 5-inch hard disk drives from every manufacturer by now, adding models from Seagate and Toshiba to those of Fujitsu, Hitachi, Samsung and Western Digital we tested earlier. The perpendicular recording technology has been progressing, too. It has increased the data density per platter to 160 gigabytes by now. This is not such a tremendous breakthrough as the previous transition from 80GB platters with longitudinal recording to 125GB platters with perpendicular recording when the storage capacity increased by a half, but quite a hefty addition nonetheless. This technology seems to have neared the maximum recording density available with it, and some manufacturers are already thinking about new way ...

2. 5-Inch Hard Disk Drives: Hitachi Travelstar 5K500 500GB vs. 320GB Rivals.
Xbit Laboratories.com 20090315
The market of hard disk drives seems to be the most difficult one for PC hardware makers when it comes to fighting for the customer. Distinguishing ones brand with an eye-catching exterior design of the product is not an option. Western Digital was the only manufacturer who tried to do something like that with the version of its Raptor drive that had a transparent window. It is also impossible to drop the product price much lower than the competitors prices: the profitability is already low due to the tough competition whereas every company also has to do some research and improve the manufacturing process. Attracting the customer with exclusive technologies is not an option, either. Most of the technologies are utilized by every manufacturer (for example, all of them now park the heads on the ramp and use perpendicular recording) or the point of a technology may be so complex that it wouldnt be possible to explain it in easy language to the common user. Thus, the only characteristic which is clear to everyone is storage capacity and every manufacturer is trying to increase it more and more. The race for higher storage capacities is not something useless, though. Large applications with their data, high-definition video content, collections of music and photos all need to be stored somewhere. The hard disk is often the first component that asks for an upgrade in a new computer. While the system may still deliver enough performance for most of your applications, you find yourself having run short of disk space. You can easily solve this problem with a desktop PC by adding a second hard disk, but with a notebook you have to replace the old HDD with a new and lar ...
