Western Digital's Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS
Comments:
Western Digital has avoided jumping into the desktop hard drive capacity game. It makes some sense, since many users never fill up even 250GB hard drives. But as digital photography, amateur video editing, and the massive storage requirements of modern PC
Review Verdict: Western Digital finally moves to PMR with its Caviar SE16 line of drives. Western Digital's Caviar SE16 WD7500AAKS offers a good performance in a 7200RPM drive, the price is also right.
