Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 320GB SATA2 7200RPM 16MB Hard Drive OEM

Cons: None!

Pros: My sister-in-law's original 5+ year old Seagate 160 GB OEM drive started to get some physical errors so I replaced it with this drive. Much faster, but just as quiet as the drive it was replacing. As always, Newegg's super fast service!!!

Cons: None so far.

Pros: It's a great price/GB hard drive that works well. Nothing else to say about.

Cons: none so far

Pros: Works Great, no problems so far

Cons: Seagate recently dropped their warranty down to 3yrs. :( It used to be 5yrs on all of their products. This is the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Of course if a piece of hardware isn't DOA and it makes it past the first few months, it's not real likely that its gonna fail before you need an upgrade anyway.

Pros: -Quiet-Fast-Reliable-Lightweight

Cons: Could have used a jumper cap to change the 3mb speed to 1.5mb speed to accommodate my older motherboard. Fortunately had a couple of those lying around.

Pros: Have always had solid performance with the Seagate hard drives that I have installed. My two older systems still have the original drives in them and working just fine. Added this to my XP system for extra storage.

Cons: Lasted just long enough for windows to initialize the drive. Upon reboot, got click of death. Drive is still seen by the BIOS, but not under windows or windows disk management. Click-Click-Click-Click.

Pros: None

Cons: 1. There ARE much better storage drives. WD makes better 1TB drives - speed, cost, warranty, etc.2. The seagate website has been totally fooked for a month or so (lacking information, disorganized, not helpful, etc.) . I hope the change is to make great improvements but that's got to put a strain on customer service when they have to pick up the website slack on the phone.3. I would like more drive information on the seagate spec sheets. They SUCK. I know it's a 320GB drive! I'm glad to know the outer dimensions too. BUT, I'd like to know the seek times, the aerial density, the number of platters - e.g. things that distinguish (or not) them from the competition. My assumption, if they don't want to list it, is that they're not quite as good as some others - which will make me look all the harder to find something better. And it's not a secret - any competitor can unscrew their drive, test it, etc. - so share the info.

Pros: About as fast as a 10,000 rpm velociraptor but with only a fraction of the noise, weight, and cost. I have found no better primary drive.

Cons: doesn't make me pizza rolls

Pros: good solid hdds, never had a problem with any of them. i put them in every build i make for people.

Cons: None

Pros: 1. 7200 RPM, 2. 16MB cache, 3. SATA, 4. price.Replaced a dieing 250GB WD EIDE drive, installed quickly, and definitely saw the performace boost. It's a great drive for the price.

Cons: It won't change my baby's poopy diapers.

Pros: Works fast. Stays cool. Good design.

Cons: The drive seems to work just fine... but windows XP only recognizes 120gb instead of 320gb.

Pros: Arrived on time with no obvious defects. It was a replacement for a previous DOA hard drive I received a week prior. Installed windows XP without any problem.

Cons: none

Pros: Great hard drive, no problems, good price

Cons: none

Pros: I have two of these running in my system at the moment and decided I needed another so ordered this last one and it came very quickly...Installed quickly and woola I had a another good drive and experience from newegg. Newegg "ROCKS!"

Cons:None

Pros:Cost, Space

Cons: But recently last week a new batch of drives came in an order and I checked the FW like always and noticed it was newer on all 8 drives, rev CC44. I was excited to bench them and see if they were any better but to my dismay they have an awful Random Access time of 17.7 ms! Other specs come out to be the same 92 Mb/s Avg Read and 225 Burst Speed. I have no idea what this is about but I have read about people having the same issues online. They and myself are speculating that Seagate did this to lower the noise the drive produces, either that or it is yet another FW bug. And I am sorry but nearly 18ms Random Access is pitiful. I have an old 7 year old WD IDE drive that has a 14ms RA time. Due to this I cannot recommend this drive, drive would be 5 eggs but I am giving it 3 eggs overall since I have had good luck with them reliability wise and prior to this firmware performance was good. But what is up with this FW Seagate?

Pros: I work as an IT Admin for a smallish company, I setup RAID1 for all of our HP workstations that we use. Prior to buy these drives I was getting the now discontinued Seagate 250 GB 7200.10, which was similar to the 7200.12 but had a 16 MB cache. This drive was coming with my HP workstations and I would buy a second one separately for RAID. When they discontinued it I decided to go with these 7200.12 320 GB drives as replacements due to the 16 MB cache rather than the 8 the 250 GB version has. I have deployed 50 or so of these drives and have yet to have a single failure which is good, they are also fairly quiet and were putting up respectable bench numbers in HDTach prior to a new firmware rev. I was getting drives with either CC35 or CC37 Firmware, both were very similar in HDTach, they benched as follows…Random Access: 14.1 msCPU Utilization: 0%Average Read: 91Burst Speed:223 Mb/sVery decent numbers for a $50 drive.

Cons: none yet

Pros: 320gb, sata, free shipping, easy install

Cons: No cord

Pros: Shipped quickly, the price was great. used to replace a Maxtor. noticeably faster. Don't think I will fill up 320 gigs of space :)

Cons: I will never be able to use 320GB of hard disk space.

Pros: Very fast drive, I have Windows 7 x64 on this drive. No problems what so ever. It is just a good dependable hard drive.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Fast, quiet, price, free shipping, 5.9 Subscore in Vista, works well with Vista

Cons: doesn't come with cable....of course it is OEM so I knew that

Pros: Love Seagate drives.
