So you thought that only NVIDIA and ATI announced products months before their release, well Seagate proved you wrong. Seagate announced today that they have started shipments of the Barracuda 7200.8 400 GB Serial ATA announced more than five months ago, last June 14.
Unlike the Hitachi 7K400, this hard drive isn’t equipped with five 80 GB platters but with three record breaking 133 GB platters. Access time is announced at 8 ms and transfer rate in the beginning of the disk at 65 MB/s. Equipped with 8 Mb of cache, the hard drive noise level is, according to Seagate, 28 dBA in rotation, 32 dBA in slow access and 37 dBA in fast access. In comparison the 7K400 has a transfer rate of 61.4 MB/s in the beginning of the disk, an access time of 8.5ms and reach 31 dBA in rotation.
Like all Seagate hard drives, the 7200.8 400 Go has a 5 year warranty.
