This report is a month old, but I haven't seen it posted here. Its a pretty rigorous test; I've always liked Barefeats but these guys go a few steps further and I was impressed by the thoroughness. I was considering the Seagate that is currently the only 500GB 7200rpm drive until I read this. Just ordered me a WD Scorpio today.
