Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 64MB SATA 6Gbps 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive - OEM

Comment:
As mentioned, I am surprised to find the drive thinner (and lighter) than a comparable WD. It caused me some trouble fitting it into a sata enclosure, but a bit of tape solved the problem.Got it for $60 on sale, which is great. Larger capacity drives might be cheaper per MB but I am wary of putting all my eggs (or data) onto a single huge hdd.

Bought 2 of these 3 years ago to set up a RAID0. Works great. Quiet and Reliable. I wish I had bought 1 more for RAID5.

Comment:
Decent purchase, perfect for a budget build.

Comment:
Great so far, very quick for defrags and loading. Big, fast drive for a great price.

Selon les commentaires des utilisateur, ce disque semble être fiable. Sa capacité est suffisante pour la majorité des application et la vitesse de transfert est acceptable pour un disque à plateau rotatif. Compte tenu du prix payé c'est un bon achat.

Does what its supposed to do. Very satisfied!

I bought this for a new build and it works great. Plenty of storage and I may pair it up with an SSD to take advantage of Smart Response Technology to cache frequently used programs.

Comment:
Overall it works as it should. Currently using it as storage for movies and other files, and it's pretty fast.No issues so far with it, and I was satisfied with the price.

Comment:
Got this on sale as a storage drive because why not. No problems so far.

Bought 2 on Boxing Day, 1 was DOA. After RMA they are now in RAID 0 connected to my Intel SATA2 ports (my SSD is on the SATA3 slots). HD TACH results 340mb/s burst, 190mb/s avg read.Performance is great and blows my 7200.11 RAID 0 setup away, they are quiet and fast enough that I sometimes forget it's not a 1TB SSD. This is my Programs/Games/Files drive so I can't comment on Windows boot times but I'm sure they're good as file copy speeds have been very high. My only concern is reliability but only time will tell whether these are built to last.

This is my second one i buy. I put them in Raid 0. Works realy great.Would purchase again

Comment:
Have not tested yet. Still waiting for other parts

There was some trouble with the online order I placed, and It was very easy to talk to the folks at NCIX. The staff was friendly and helpful and helped sort out the issue. The products were as describled, and worked flawlessly.

Got on sale for a great price by far the fastest and quietest 1Tb drive I have ever owned.

Comment:
Everything expected so far. Noticeably faster than my older WD Black 640 GB. Loads 1080 movies instantly and allows me to browse through all my data easily. Cannot say anything for the reliability since it is new, so I am reserving a star for that, and the fact that the warranty is only 1 year, which is a lot less than Western Digital's. I am very satisfied with the drive so far and would recommend it. At below 70$ it's hard to find a better deal.

Comment:
Great price, and a very well respected company. Either this or the Western Digital are great. And 1TB is awesome.

Comment:
Affordable upgrade or cheap begginer drive with lots of room for storage of photos or documents. Recommend something larger if movies are being stored. The performance increase is noticed even on older motherboards with only sata 2 connections using "performancemark" from "passmark.com".

Comment:
Great if one was in need of additional storage for their computer. But I will stick with SSDs if speed is a must.

Comment:
Great product. It was a great price and was delivered the next day. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting a good deal on lots of space. Also, all my programs and my media collection have no problems.

Comment:
Got this at 74.99 to replace my old hard drive because it was clicking constantly on and off. Cloned my old hard drive to this and everything seems to work fine at the moment.

Comment:
This drive is nearly silent, works fast enough and has finally reached the price it was before the floods in Taiwan. Other than this, there isn't much to say.

Comment:
I'm not sure if it's just me but my hard drive is the only thing making any noise from my computer. It's alright though since it's much better than my old hard drive.

Got this as an early bday present becuase I really needed a new HD, works well, tested it with Seagate's HD diagnostic tools to make sure its all good (since lots of reviews were saying it was faulty on first run) works well and will fulfill my needs.if you are stripped on cash and cant afford to buy a better WD Black then I recommend the seagates over other brands.931.53GB out of the box.
