Finally, WD has released its first 750GB hard drive with perpendicular recording

The new hard drive is available on newegg
Newegg.com - Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

And from here you can see a review for it

It is faster than 750GB Seagate 7200.10, and it beats Raptor in some cases

What is Perpendicular Recording?

This will explain to you everything
Perpendicular recording - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


This is the first hard drive from westren digital that use Perpendicular Recording, all the others use Longitudinal Recording. But other hard drive manufacturers like Seagate and Hitachi have used perpendicular recording long time ago.


Perpendicular recording is a newer technology, and it is capable of delivering much more storage density than longitudinal recording

Yes I know that

But this new 750GB hard drive from westren digital is faster than the current Seagate 750GB, and both cost the same.
