Testurteil: "4/6"
Test: Einzeltest: Western Digital Caviar SE16
Zitat: We can´t help feeling that Western Digital is being held back by its platter technology
We can´t help feeling that Western Digital is being held back by its platter technology. Doubling the cache and adding S-ATA II to an antiquated 83GB-per-platter design seem like quick fixes, rather than a real upgrade. Why wasn´t the SE16 launched with the 107GB-per-platter density of the 320GB version of the regular SE? Instead, the SE16 is just a slightly faster member of the Caviar range. The SE16 is more like a family home in Bermondsey than a luxury loft in Surrey Quays. There´s a better home for your data, with faster performance, lower noise levels and better value for money, in the shape of the Samsung SpinPoint P120S.
