“…the fastest 7,200 RPM hard disk we’ve seen in our test labs to date.”
– Tom’s Hardware

After extensive drive testing, Tom’s Hardware proclaims, “With peak data rates up to 95 MB/s, the 750 GB top-of-the-line member in the
Caviar SE16 family is the fastest 7,200 RPM hard disk we’ve seen in our test labs to date.” The review continues, “…our benchmarks should give
WD plenty to cheer about. In particular, the I/O performance in the file server and database server schemas is noticeably superior to that of other
7,200 RPM drives.” (As evidenced by the graphs above.)
