High-capacity HDDs compared

It’s been a little while since we did a 3-way drive round-up of hard drives and none so far have come close to the capacities we’re looking at in this article. We secured the largest capacity SATA-II units from Hitachi, Maxtor and Seagate – the three companies we’d argue are the top 3 when it comes to releasing bleeding-edge performance, capacity and value. Certainly there are some folks who’d throw Western Digital into that mix; however, their slowness to release SATA-II and other leading technologies keeps them at the bottom of the pack in our opinion.
