We recently reported on the new Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) hard drive from Seagate. At that time, we couldn’t find any tests or reviews of the new drive. It looks like the first review has come in, and it’s very positive.

PC World has run a few tests on the new 750GB monster, and they found that in some tests the 7200rpm drive outperforms another very fast drive, the 10,000-rpm Raptor X from Western Digital.

As Richard Baguley at Camcorderinfo notes, these drives would be a nice fit for a large, fast RAID storage system. And at $0.79/gigabyte, the price is right too.
