Say hello to the Seagate Savvio, a 600GB enterprise HDD that doubles the capacity of current enterprise drives and sports a rocking 10,000 RPM and a 2 million hour MTBF. All this raw, reliable spinning power is packed into a diminutive 2.5 inch frame which lowers rack space requirements and, when combined with the drive’s improved power efficiency and data protection, will make many a system admin happy.

    Pshhh, SAS…. I was all excited for a second thinking it was SATA.

    • Sean

      Me too. SAS is very uncommon except high-end servers. Why can’t they make it SATA? Lame.

      • Calvin

        Because it’s designed for servers…?

  • Leindurstit

    Seagate? Reliable? Better check your sources there, buddy.

    Put Android on this and we have a deal

    • Calvin

      I know iFanBoys are annoying. But the Android Group is getting just as bad. I know this might insult some – but it seems like the only sensible group left are Blackberry and Windows Mobile Fans.

      Android Users have been bashing iPhone, WiMo users, whilst iPhone users have been bashing Android Users… And WebOS users bashing everyone else. It’s starting to get a little annoying. Can’t we all just… Get along nicely, appreciate every OS for it’s qualities, and stop this endless bickering?

    What’s the largest storage hdd for laptop ?

  • BDW

    Andy I haven’t seen more than 500gb. I own a 500gb Seagate 7200rpm for mine and I have not had a crash since i got it about 6 months ago. If you don’t like Seagate go with Western Digital. Western has a 500gb and may even be a bit cheaper. My stock western that came with my laptop lasted over a year. I have heard mixed reviews about Toshiba but they offer a 500gb i believe at the best price but honestly buy a Seagate or Western well worth the extra penny. Don’t let people that had a bad experience with them fool you. Any thing with moving parts can break at any time. meaning any hard drive can have a hardware crash anytime.

      I have nothing but praises for my Toshiba laptop, I have owned, Acer, HP, and Sony, nothing has lasted as long as my Toshiba. Great built quality and great components… I have even dropped it twice and nothing has broken. More than I can say about my Acer, that fell off my desk and the screen broke off the base, while it was closed.

    PS ANDY

    If you have a firewire port or esata port don’t even waste your money on an internal hard drive just buy a 1tb or higher external those are stupid fast.

    2.5″ drives are up to a terabyte already. Western Digital released them in mid-2009.

    I just picked up a 640 GB Scorpio Blue for my PS3 for cheap.

  • ryan smith

    Getting one for my ps3 although it’ll take some modding it’ll be blazing

  • scroffy

    And how does it fit in my phone? Once again, bgr veers from cell phone world to discuss some product they want to spiff…another advertiser? You tools have no shame. Give shit to bgr and they’ll do a nice article about it. How are these assclowns suposed to be taken seriously when they are simply whores?

  • Crunch

    BGR is #1. Even if everything you allege were true, why don’t you put your money where your mouth is and mail them a check, so that you won’t be inconvenienced by such ghoulish reporting…

  • scroffy

    Every clown with a blog fancies himself as a journalist. These guys fail in every area of journalism. They are shills, and if you think that is good crunch, you are as addled as bgr.
