Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 160GB 3.5IN SATA 7200RPM 8MB Hard Drive

Comment:
Affordable, quiet. two of the four purchased have died within 48 hours...I had 4 running in a RAID 1Ʈ on an Intel board. Intel RAID utility reported 1 failed within 12 hours, the second failed inside 48 hours of placing the personal computer collectively. Don't know what the problem is, but if one more fails I'll lose my boot drive. I did some research, and it sounds like this drive just isn't cut out for RAID configurations. A thing about the TLER not living up to most RAID specifications...Operating on an Asus P6TD Deluxe, Intel ICH10R RAID controller

Very good, performs, quiet (never heard it run..ever), sata, uncomplicated to set up. only a 5.9 on WEI (windows Experience Index) :/ seems like all 7200RPM drives get a 5.9 (My brother has a WD that is 7200RPM he got a five.9).

Very speedy 7200RPM drive. It undoubtedly outdoes its price tag point. I've always had good experiences with Seagate drives and this Barracuda is no exception. None. I usually appreciate Seagate's superb support and 5 year warranty on HDDs. Can't beat that!

Comment:
Very reasonable cost per GB, slimline drive, silent, and mounted effortlessly. None at this time. I'd take into account a third for RAID 5.

none DOA: Triggered many installation frustrations, delays in my clients product and űᚨ in shipping for a 1lb package. This is only a suggestion...... If you want it quickly I suggest reordering it yourself. Otherwise you and your consumers have to wait for the package to be shipped and processed from your house prior to they send a replacement. Perhaps reliable customers must have much more clout than this.

I've had this drive operating now from two months devoid of any troubles. Got it in three days plugged it up loaded Win7 on it and it's been fine ever because. No troubles upon install and newegg always makes certain their packaging is leading notch. none Working with this drive for the OS and about to get one more 500GB Seagate for files and such. Seagate hasn't let me down yet. As I've stated someplace around on this web site I still have my very first computer systems HDD (from 10yrs ago) which was a seagate at a whopping 60GB running the OS on my server. There are no difficulties with it other than the S.M.A.R.T. doesn't read right any longer (probably due to the energy surge from lighting which fried the PSU and a few things on the mobo). These drives will last...

Quick and basic to install None Ordered this as a 2nd internal drive along with my 1st drive and an external to give me 1TB of disk space. Worked like a charm. No complaints. Encouraged.

Works wonderful as a replacement drive for the OS. Transfer speeds are excellent. None

Nice slim drive has potential. Went to set up this drive in our point of sale system and absolutely nothing. So i tried it on an external dock, absolutely nothing. DOA, other than that okay. Had to give it 4 because of DOA. Now only if i could convince my boss to not purchase so cheap...lol it happens.Send it in for rma and we are excellent.

Wonderful quality. I (sarcastically) adore the fact that for <ŭ far more you can double you HDD size ;).This seriously is a great challenging drive although, and you shouldn't really feel undesirable about obtaining the least expensive SATA drive Newegg sells! It works. Period. Count on Seagate for that! None genuinely. The free shipping was what tipped the balance for this acquire! I was thinking about getting a WD, but newegg dropped in free shipping the day I went to acquire -I couldn't refuse!

cheap failed wise 6 weeks

The price tag is fantastic, the Drive is relatively quiet, and it's nevertheless operating - for now! I've been monitoring the Drive Health for a handful of months now, an it has been steady declining, it is now down to 66% well being. I didn't expect alot for a drive this low-cost; but at this rate this issue is going to be down to 1% health before the end of the year.I expected superior for Seagate...

Comment:
Needed a fundamental drive to run a tiny program. Good value for what I necessary. No difficulties with the drive. No 'clicking' that the newer Seagates are now known for. Nothing - fit a basic resolution.

Comment:
None I've had literally hundreds of difficult drives, and although this one wasn't the worst, I can't say it was a lot far better. Soon after Ӳ months in service I started out receiving clicks and the occasional IO error. Things went genuinely south immediately after ӵ months, when the drive started out sporadically dropping communication entirely in the middle of an OS session - that was fun. I must also mention that the Sensible details on this drive is WORTHLESS. The values are gibberish, so you can't accurately establish the drive's situation (i.e. tricky error counts and so forth). The drive also passed Clever tests, both short and extended, all the way up until the day it died. Never ever once more, seagate. back to WD. I purchased it as a cheapie OS drive. you get what you pay for

Comment:
Worked appropriate out of the box, no troubles whatsoever! None that I've observed: I got what I ordered. Running four of these in RAID0 with Windows 7. Had to load Asus driver as expected, but had no complications during set up. Two of the drives whined a tiny though I was formatting them, but they've been silent since then.

Comment:
Making use of this drive as OS drive, Operating as advertised no troubles yet, just 1 day of use so far NONE

Comment:
I've had lots of Seagate drives, and they normally function nicely. But this a single came DOA, tick of death and anything, it was nicely packaged, which leads me to think it was negative QC on Seagate's part. I must have bought a Western Digital drive.

Comment:
Price tag was extremely great, slim drive so it does not produce substantially heat, and is not a heavy drive. I bought a handful of of them for systems that I was developing, and the fisrt drive dies 3 days soon after installation, yet another just died currently. I expected a lot more from this brand, or possibly i just got drives from a bad batch, in any situation no additional seagate for me.

Comment:
None 15 hours of work and absolutely nothing. bought it and cant install anything on it.wasnt capable to give it much less than 1 egg

Comment:
