Western Digital Caviar SE16 750GB   [Computer Shopper]
COMPANY: Western Digital PRICE: £108inc VAT  
RATING: ISSUE: 242  DATE: Feb 08
   

Western Digital's 750GB disk performed consistently well, especially in our large files test where it was the third-fastest disk overall. It was also quick at reading and writing small files, but couldn't quite keep up with Hitachi's 750GB Deskstar. It's good value at just 15p per gigabyte, but the Deskstar is even cheaper and has better performance.
