Exciting things have been coming from Seagate lately, like their NL35 nearline hard drive. Nearline storage is the fastest growing segment is enterprise tiered storage networks, so this is an interesting product and an important move for Seagate who is a late-comer to this part of the market. This article takes a look at Seagate's NL35 ST3400832NS, a 3.5" hard drive an enterprise drive which is actually an upgraded version of the Barracuda series. The drive tested was a 400 GB SATA model, though they are also available in 250 GB and 500 GB sizes.

The reviewer forgot to mention that the MTBF (Hours): 1,000,000 hours rating is based on a 24/7 usage rating. Normal desktop HDD's are only rated to operate 8/5..
I like the drive a lot but it's a fair bit more expensive than a Barracuda 7200.9
