New, Faster, Quieter : The Seagate Barracuda 7200.8
Here is still the familiar 3.5" form factor, 7,200 RPM spindle speed, and 8 MB of cache memory.[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica] Competitor Maxtor's drives have already come with 16 MB for about nine months now, though this has provided few advantages so far - this means the 8 MB is still competitive. The 7200.8 is already the second generation of drives supporting Native Command Queuing (NCQ). This feature allows the drive to sort incoming commands so they can be processed efficiently, reducing head movements and thus access times.
