Western Digital 500GB RE2
 

Are you looking for huge storage that won't hurt the pocketbook? Easily done, since the 500GB RE2 drive we are looking at today retails for around $250. Does it have the performance you are looking for?

Shame he doesn't bother to detail which Seagate drive he is comparing with or show a photo of it.
Is it a 7200.10 as is inferred or a 7200.9/8/7/???, 8mb or 16Mb cache etc etc.
It's a test but not a comparison as such.
