Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:They do fail three of the drives have failed. They did this quite slowly and smart did let me know first. All three also died within 3 months of each other. Still under the warranty.

Pros:Prices as well as other drives at the time had a 5 year warranty. The retail boxed versions still do. Have ran rather well in my 6 drive raid 5 setup 24/7 for 3+ years with rather heavy use and there not designed to do this.
Comment:
For general usage they seem alright. Heavy usage does seem to kill them quicker. Im sure some are just bad out of the box but lots of computer stuff is that way. If using for special setup should probably use a enterprise rated drive.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:none

Pros:Very cheap (at least when I bought it 4 months ago).Good enough for the average user. Not loud at all and plenty of space.
Comment:
I got it 4 months ago and it was on sale for $62. It's the cheapest out of performance and space especially for a HDD with 32mb cache which is a really good deal. Seagate brands are really nice.

Cons:Can get pretty loud

Pros:Fast for an HDD
Comment:
This is a good choice for people who don't want to pay for an SSD. Its not as a fast as a WD Caviar Black but has (had? price have increased due to shortages) a better cost per GB.

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:not as realible as Western DigitalIdk about any other owner but it seems louder than my WD black drive

Pros:1tb still affordable compared to WD drives during the shortage
Comment:
its fast, and somewhat quiet, gets loud when it caches a lot of data. They can be PM'ed down to $120 so its relatively affordable compared to the WD drives that have skyrocketd in price since the flooding.

Comment:
This drive was simple to install. Its Sata 3! Seems to be operating actually properly and fast! None so far! I have had 3 seagate drives now and I have never ever had a hiccup with any of them. They live lengthy and drive challenging. I bought this drive due to the fact of my knowledge with Seagate and the good quality they appear to supply.i5 2400Biostar TH67+ 1155 moboG.Skill 8 GB DDR3 1333GeForce GTX 560 Ti

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:- I surface scan tested the drive in Victoria and it had some sectors at the ~200ms range.

Pros:- Very cheap (was $55 pricematched)- Big (1TB of storage is a lot)- Really fast (60 - 130 MB/s transfer rates in HD Tune, 240 MB/s burst rate)
Comment:
So far, the drive has been pretty good. I really like how fast it is compared to older IDE and SATA hard drives. The transfer rates on this drive are quite good.

Amazing quality, speed is fast (7200rpm) which you definitely want if you're building a computer today. Got it around 80 bucks or so, price matched it. Runs well, made a couple partitions and good to go!

Cons:-None

Pros:-Cheap -Very quiet -1000GB of storage for only $39!-
Comment:
Me being a WD die hard I was kinda worried about Seagate and was this 1TB HDD on sale for $39 so for that price I had to jump on the Seagate train and try it out, and well I am very happy with my purchase I have it loaded with win 7 os, 200gb of movie, 10gb of music and 20gb of games with tons of Gigs left over! Anyone with a tight budget I highly recommend this hard drive!

Cons:None so far.

Pros:Less noisy than previous version.
Comment:
Decent price point for now as a 1TB hard drive. Most likely suitable to use it as a storage backup drive. I coupled it with an external hard drive enclosure for my huge photo collection for now. Will buy it again just for storage purposes.
