Seagate has released their latest end-user drive with the BarraCuda SSD. The drive is being pushed as a cost-effective drop in upgrade for PCs or laptops that still use HDDs; the drive will definitely offer more performance than HDDs with quoted speeds of up to 560MB/s read and 540MB/s write. The SSD comes in capacities up to 2TB, which should keep users from having to choose between capacity or performance. Not only is the drive backed by a 5-year limited warranty, but it also brings 20 years of Seagate experience to it.
Thanks for review. Though I'd like to point to an error in graphs I suppose. There are Crucial's MX500 results there but I believe it's a MX300 drive. That's pretty confusing.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention, the SQL Server charts have the typo. I'll correct those soon.
