Storage Review heeft een review geupt van de Seagate Barracuda 18LP. Dit is al weer de 5de generatie uit de Barracuda serie en de schijf draait op 7200rpm. Hier een stuk over de performance in vergelijking met andere 7200rpm SCSI schijven:
The Barracuda 18LP's 3.6 gigs per platter begs comparison with the IBM Ultrastar 18ES. From performance testing already conducted here at StorageReview.com, however, it's clear that the comparison should be performed against today's premiere 7200rpm SCSI drive: the Western Digital Enterprise WDE18300. Windows 95 tests yield neck-and-neck performance. The Business Disk WinMark 99 places the Seagate in the lead over the WD by an unnoticeable 1%. The High-End Disk WinMark reverses the situation, the Barracuda trailing by a negligible 1%. Testing in Windows NT, however, reveals a larger difference in performance between the two units. Here the Seagate drive trails the Western Digital by 9% in the Business Disk WinMark and a fairly substantial 13% in High-End tests. ww
