Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 750GB: Size Does Matter

[Tyler]

"Seagate recently announced the Barracuda 7200.10 as the successor to their Barracuda 7200.9 series with much surprise as the 7200.9 product line has only been available for a short period of time. Although the Barracuda 7200.10 series will become the flagship product for personal desktop solutions, the 7200.9 series will continue to be offered in capacities under 200GB as a "value performance" product once the 7200.10 drives are shipping in volume later this spring. As with previous Barracuda product group updates, the naming succession follows the standard point upgrade path but this change is anything but a simple number revision. The new Barracuda 7200.10 product will be the first desktop centric hard drive to feature perpendicular recording."

This is quite nice, and I thought my 80GB was okay .

On the same notes, any known cons for Barracuda hardware?

I have barracuda drives in my system... they're kind of loud when seeking (compared to my otherwise quiet computer), but work great.
