Eight 2 TB hard drives compared

@ 2010/08/24
The first 2 TB hard drives appeared at the beginning of 2009. Western was the first to launch with the Caviar Green WD20EADS in January, Seagate replying in April with the Barracuda LP. These two drives stood out for their usage of 4 x 500 GB platters and rotation speeds below 7200 rpm: 5900 rpm on the Seagate, with no value given by Western, but approximately 5400 rpm. We carried out our first tests on these drives in July 2009.
