Puissance PC succeeded in getting its hands on the two models, the 1 and 1,5 TB, and subjected them to many tests.
In short, in spite of the increase in density, these disks do not have a significantly better data flow and lost a little with the access time. The same applies to their power consumption and their noise level.
On the other hand, the fall of the number of platters should bring the price lower, the disk of 1 TB only requiring two platters and 1,5 TB has 3, which is already a good news for the consumers and bad for the competitors of Seagate.
But if you seek a disk of 1 TB having best the possible performances, the choice will be to direct you towards the Western Digital Black that is better for almost all points. However Seagate, being the only one with the 1,5 TB, remains the only choice.
