About this product
This is a new, sealed Seagate External Hard Drive offering 160 GB of storage capacity. It utilizes a USB 2.0 interface and features a 7200 RPM rotation speed for potentially faster performance, coupled with a 2 MB cache. Compatible with laptops and PCs, this HDD-only drive provides a straightforward solution for expanding storage. Its model is 9BD862-560 and it comes as a single unit, ready for use out of the box.
Our take
This Seagate external drive, while offering a modest 160 GB capacity, stands out with its 7200 RPM rotation speed and 2 MB cache. This combination suggests better performance than typical 5400 RPM drives, which is a definite plus for an external HDD. The USB 2.0 interface is still a bottleneck for maximum speed, but for transferring and accessing frequently used files, the faster internal drive speed will be noticeable. It's a good choice for PC and laptop users who need a bit more zip from their external storage for daily tasks, rather than just archival purposes, and being new and sealed is a bonus.
