EggXpert

First of all, I'd like to say Tom's Hardware charts completely confuse me.I don't know how to work the charts any more. I don't even know why they switched to the new charts...so this is why I'm asking eggxperts

How close are 7200.10 drives to 7200.11 ones. I was looking at this one and wondering how close they come to similiar Western digital and 7200.11 drives.

Also, I'm always wondered how come Seagate doesn't have any competition for 10000RPM drives

???  Sure they do.

Savvio® Hard Drive Family

 

The Seagate® Savvio® 2.5-inch enterprise 10K and 15K is 70% smaller than 3.5-inch drives, enabling more drives per system and providing higher performance and reliability while ensuring ultra-low power consumption.

Good For

Mission critical 2.5-inch enterprise server and storage applications that demand high reliability, performance and the lowest in power consumption.

Cheetah® Hard Drive Family

 

Seagate® Cheetah® drives are the standard for 3.5-inch 10K-RPM and 15K-RPM hard drives used in mission-critical server and storage solutions, where system availability and reliability are of utmost importance.

Good For

Large form factor, mission critical enterprise storage applications, in demanding network and server storage environments.

Pretty sure I've seen that linked 250 drive mentioned a few places as a very good drive.

Well I've never owned 7200.11 drives and I saw some of the ones with lower capacities had pretty bad reviews on egg.

This one is pretty cheap for 250GB

The pitfalls of generalizing about a line of drives...each capacity will be a little different.
