Industry leader Seagate Technology has lagged competitors in releasing a high-capacity, SATA-based products intended for use in the more demanding nearline enterprise environment. Now, however, the company feels that various factors have combined to create a more practical enterprise SATA market. Seagate's NL35 takes aim at the likes of Maxtor's MaXLine and WD's Caviar RE? How do its features and performance stack up? StorageReview examines!

If 7K400 is "same-generation" now, how could it have been "previous-generation" in older reviews?

Isn't the NL35 based on the previous generation 7200.8?

"Isn't the NL35 based on the previous generation 7200.8?"

Well, NL35 is a close relative to 7200.8 (and I never objected to that) but note that 7K400 is older generation drive than even the 7200.8. 7K400 was a "Previous-generation competing unit" when the 7200.8 was reviewed in the past. See SR's 7200.8 review.

...and again leads there Barracuda by a 3 IOPs cushion.

Shouldn't that be "the" or "their"?

Also, wouldn't it be more useful to list the reliability survey results for the 7200.8? Assuming there have been enough samples to produce a rating.

First post in months, and I'm pedanting (is that a word?) an article!

Congrats on getting Testbed 4 off the ground and putting it to good use!

If I'm wrong, please tell me why. I'm trying to help, but I'm here to learn, too.
See my profile for PC specs. I do not practise what I preach.

[joking]Maybe the percentile of 7200.8 (only 13%) is too terrible to mention for a fan of Seagate. That percentile is almost Maxtor-like. :D[/joking]

More seriously, maybe Eugene assumed that both 7200.8 and NL35 originated from 7200.7. For NL35, 7200.8 might be closer to a sibling than a parent. Well, I don't know. Was NL35 announced at the same time? Did they become available at the same time? etc.

Naming a single predecessor (even if the named drive is correctly chosen and not "randomly picked") for each drive is quite trivial IMHO.
