Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 (120 GB)

Pros: Good quality product with great performance and price.

Cons: Mounting screw holes stripped out on first install.

The Bottom Line: Seagate is a high quality manufacturer who is now competing for aftermarket and DIY installs. Great product!

Review: Disclaimer I build computers for friends and family as well as some to sell on ebay as I find parts at a reasonable price. My own PC is a Do It Yourself (DIY) that I am constantly upgrading and adding onto. As such, I have some experience ...

Pros: Inexpensive, holds a LOT of files, really fast transfer rates.

Cons: The jumper sticker on drive is shipped upside down *doh!*

The Bottom Line: Great drives! I really enjoy using them, and they're quite easy to install.

Review: The Seagate Barracuda is absolutely amazing! I've been using them for years (I currently own a few different Barracuda sizes, from 80GB up to 200GB). I was originally introduced to the Barracuda many years ago by a friend, and I've been a satisfied user ...

Pros: Absolutely Quiet, 5 year warranty, fast drive, great packaging

Cons: Installation Software a bit annoying

The Bottom Line: Go ahead and buy it. You can't beat Seagate's 5 year warranty on such a fast, reliable, and inexpensive hard drive.

Review: I needed a new hard drive, and I knew that Seagate was the only company offering a 5 year warranty on their hard drives. It cost more, but I believe that it was worth it. This specific hard drive can not be heard over the power supply. I can not ...

Pros: big fast EXTREMELY reliable still works after being shorted\set on fire

Cons: smells really bad when power is plugged in backwards, still work though

Review: Had this hard disk for over a year in a usb enclosure, was dropped kicked, generaly abused and still worked perfectly until my mate plugged in the power connector upside down and set it on fire, i then left it in a drawer and mourned its passing 6 months ...

Pros: Harddrive situated in a correct price bracket, silent in operation. Trusted brand.

Cons: Budget harddrive, so it's not the best performing Seagate drive on the market.

The Bottom Line: Only time will tell if this is a truly reliable product so for the time being only three stars granted.

Review: Why the Seagate ST3120022A Barracuda ? For no particular reason really, only that over the last three years I had some serious problems with two IBM (now Hitachi) harddrives of the GXP series. And after those I bought a 40GB Western Digital driv ...

Pros: PROS: Big, fast, quiet; compared with new Compaq Presario S500J's 5,400 rpm 80 MB drive

Cons: DiscWizard 2003 software it ships is not compatible with Windows XP Pro, per Seagate

The Bottom Line: RECOMMENDATION for Windows XP Users: Buy a Western Digital or Maxtor drive instead; hopefully they ship with better software.

Review: I spent 20 hours trying to get this drive installed as a Master Drive on my new Compaq Presario S500J computer. The first 10 hours were lost just trying to get the software to run. Ultimately, after writing Seagate, I learned that their DiscWizard 2003 ...
