Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Fast, quiet, reliable

Weakness: Only 1 year warranty

Excellent return for the price you pay. It seems huge hard drives are finally approaching an affordable level these days. This Seagate hard drive has a great capacity (all hard drives you purchase nowadays should be 200GB or greater anyway, since even large capacity drives are only .50 cents a gig). I've had plenty of experience installing and testing out various hard drives. Of all the ones I've...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Fast UATA/100 transfer, easy installation, 8MB buffer

Weakness: None so far

I had to snatch up this OEM drive at $100 after rebate. I'm using it as an external drive with a Plumax USB2 enclosure (add another $40). This combination is a bargain compared with retail external drives about this size which will run you $250-$300. All you have to do is mount the drive in the enclosure, about 10 minutes of work to save yourself $100. The best part of my experience with this...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Quiet for 7200RPM, better packaging than what the WD drives come in, large capacity, 5 year warranty, comes with a 40 pin / 80 wire cable and mounting screws.

Weakness: Unless you believe there's much of a difference between ATA100 & ATA133, then really there isn't much weakness here.

Drive installed with XP SP2 no problem, and was quicker than my previous install using a Western Digital WD2000JB. Drive is very quiet in contrast to both the WD and Maxtor 7200RPM drives I have in other systems. Also comes with BounceBack Express backup software ... but I have not tried it yet, and cannot comment on how well it may work, but there are some good opinions of it if you search the...

Strengths: None

Weakness: Bad quality, circuits can short out

I just got this drive from Outpost.com and plugged it into my 1st computer as a slave to my Western Digital 120G hard drive. I turned it on and the lights on my computer flickered and triggered a fuse. I smelled something burning. It was my Western Digital drive. Now, my computer would freeze during bios bootstrap if the WD is plugged in. I thought that might have been an anomaly. So I decided to...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Newly extended 5 year warranty and great price.

Weakness: retail kit does not have 5.25 in drive adapter rails

Bought drive at a great price at a local store during labor day sale. Surprised to read that the manufacturer extended the warranty to 5 years as of July 2004. ATA 100, IDE and 8MB ensure backward compatibility. A stellar expansion of storage.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Large 200GB capacity, 7200RPM, 8MB Cache

Weakness: None yet

I highly recommend the Seagate 200GB for its large capacity, 8MB cache, 7200RPM, and fair price. It seems much quieter than other hard drives and fairly quick. Too bad it doesn't have a three year warranty like some of the other large hard drive manufacturers, however, it does provide better documentation, backup software, and the standard one year warranty. A great buy!

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: Whisper Quiet! Great Value, easy plug-n-play installation in Windows XP, SP1. One Year Warranty. Reliable - I've used Seagate HDDs for the last 10 years, and they have proven to be the best!

Weakness: Warranty only for 1 year on retail drives. (Used to be longer.)

This 200GB Ultra ATA/100 7200rpm hard drive is whisper-quiet, with less than 2.5 bels of noise. No other 7200rpm drive even comes close to this drive in silence of operation. I have also used a pair of the same Seagate family 80GB drives in my video editing computer for the past 18 months with no problems at all. The reliability and near silent operation from this drive make it by far the best in...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus 200 GB Internal Hard...

Strengths: None

Weakness: complicated installation

For the type of hard drive, this is a bargain. However, it comes with a price though. To make it run well, you have to go to the Seagate website to download the driver for the hard drive. That is not a big problem for me, 30 minutes of reconfiguration and I am done. However, this is still not as good as the other smaller hard drive which is using plug and play. The Barracuda is a bit of...
