Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:Price

Pros:Reputable brand and drive
Comment:
Happy with the drive, does the job for a business PC, a little added speed would have been great. Only downfall is the high prices on hard drives nowadays.

Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:-other than the crazy price, no real cons to the drive itself

Pros:-cheapest drive around at the time of purchase
Comment:
Bought this drive for a light duty gaming build. Does the trick, 500gb is more than enough storage for the user. Worked well, transfer rates are nothing crazy but are acceptable. Pretty quiet hard drive, would order again.

Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:None atm

Pros:Solid performance
Comment:
The price factor was a con, but since it's because of a natural disaster (flood in Thailand) that drove up the prices, I don't blame Seagate. Bought this for a business style desktop since the old one was still using IDE connectors haha.

Comment:
I have used Seagate and WD HD's throughout my computer building. I have alaways preferred Seagate and have enjoyed the excellent factory warranty and service you recieve when dealing directly with them (should you ever nead to). Highly recommended.

Obviously, it's probably better to go with SSDs at this point, but the ones I have owned have been good to me.

Pros:nothing that stands out
Comment:
seagate has always made robust HD IMO and this one seems to look the part as well. I have used barracuda series for quite a while now and have yet to land on one that has failed.

Cons:High price (currently)

Pros:Works fine, no issues.
Comment:
This hard drive was not my first choice, but given the high price of hard drives currently this is what seemed to fit the bill. So far it is working quite well and I have no complaints. There are no issues with speed and it is running very quietly. It fit perfectly into the case with no issues.

Bought a few of these and never had a single issue with them. Normally you can get them around 39.99$ and they are pretty fast.I've always went with Seagate over WD for no reason, just a preference.

Cons:The price was bad, but I got it when it was $10 more than now ($99)

Pros:sata3, it's the fastest HDD I've used and I can tell the difference with the file transfers and load times.
Comment:
I am currently using this hard drive for my windows xp install because I have my eye on some SSD drives for Windows 7. The size is acceptable because I can install programs on my C drive without worrying about space.

what can I say about hard disk drives? they're easy to install, they do what they are supposed to do, bought them on sale for a very good deal. I plan on using the 4 extras I bought to set up a virual environment for learnin about server administrations and what not.

Cons:only 500gb

Pros:500gb, 7200rpm
Comment:
This is a decent storage drive. It's not a very good OS drive as it took 30+ seconds for my computer to boot into windows now with a SSD it's at 7 sec. I've had it for 2 years and the SMART say's it will last another 2 so 4 years isn't that bad.

Cons:write speed

Pros:Quiet, small (flat)
Comment:
Write speed is quite a bit worse than read speed. Other than that, it is very quiet, quite flat (one disc only) and all-in-all a very good disk. I am using it as a system disk and seems fast enough booting up.
