Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
Cons:nothing for now

Pros:Fast, quiet, plenty of space for the price.
Comment:
I bought this a couple of months ago. 53$ including shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Runs fine although for the price, I was a little worried that it might have issues. I use it as a backup drive so most of the time, it is off. It is very quiet. 500 GB is plenty. Who needs terabytes of space? Except that 1 TB is only a few dollars more :)

Works great, good price too. I bought this for a work/gaming machine, and I'm recommend it. It would be nice to see a bit longer warranty, but on reliable drive i think the risk is minimal

Cons:perhaps size, but that really just a tradeoff for greater price

Pros:Cost effectiveReliable
Comment:
This is one of those parts that you just keep buying again and again for each build. It's just the right size and price to fill the large-capacity, low price storage problem

Cons:None

Pros:500GB of Storage for Cheap
Comment:
What can be said. It's 500GB of storage. It's a Seagate. It works well. I've had to replace a few but that's the nature of components with moving parts.

This drive in a budget PC makes a great reliable system.Even with the 1yr warranty I recommend these drives over other brands. Customer service is awesome! Fast and cheap advanced RMA if there is ever a problem with the drive, but likely will never need it.

Comment:
Seagate is my favorite brand to use for economic builds. Honestly I have never had one fail on me yet and I've used probably about 100 on client builds or the years. What more you could ask for. Reliable at a good price.
