Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: quite drive and confortable to use

Very good choice for the data saving and backup. Quite drive and fast data transfer speed. Five years warranty is the longest I saw so far. But depending on the enclosure used, I found some time it could vibrate vigorously. So I would expect some modification on the supply system, for instant, some rubber washers or dampers attached to the connection and contact positions for assembly.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Quiet, Fast, Big, Excellent Warranty

Weakness: Haven't found any yet...

This drive is great. It's extremely quiet; I can barely hear it at all! The 8 meg cache makes for fast access times. The size makes it highly functional. The warranty (5 years) makes it irresistible for the price!

Strengths: Excellent Price. No Noise. Stable drive.

Weakness: None

Great choice for the budget minded user. I would highly recommend for business use PC's. I have gotten better reliability with Seagate drives than with Maxtor.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Affordable price. 5-year manufacturer warranty.

Weakness: None.

Great product. It's extremely quiet and fast. Also this drive runs a lot cooler than other hard drives that I've tried. With 5-year manufacturer warranty, absolutely would buy again.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Lots of space, price, Seagate 5-year warranty

Weakness: None so far.

I was looking for additional hard drive for my computer. Found this drive for a great price and with 160GB, can't beat it. It transfers files quickly from one drive to another and works great. I recommend this drive.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Fast drives! 8 meg cache!

Weakness: Large drives can take some time to defrag.

The last rebuild I did I decided to put 2 of these drives in with a Highpoint Rocketraid 100 raid controller. I run these drives as a mirror set and have not had any problem with them. The only thing I have noticed is that the drives can get fragmented (normal), but it can take some time to defrag them. I should point out that I don't believe this to be a fault of the drives, just due to size. I...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Good speed and long time warranty

Weakness: No firewire

Generally, I felt this is a good hard drive. It is easy to use. Run quietly. High speed. 5 year warranty is also attractive. I bought this hard drive with a seagate rebate. But the rebate takes too long to wait for so that I even lose my patience on it. But as for the hard drive itself, it is a good one.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Fast, quiet and delicate design.

Weakness: Not found yet

The driver works perfectly as a secondary hard disk using the ultra/ATA 100 interface, providing large additional storage capacity and fast data transferring. Easy setup, quiet and responsive. One of the best hard drivers I ever had.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: 160 GB storage capacity, esay to install, 5 year warrenty

Weakness: None

This is a great hard drive. I had been wanting to get a bigger hard drive for my computer for a while, but I didn't know which brand to get. I knew I was going to go with Maxtor, Western Digital, or Seagate but I had heard good an bad things about all three. But when I heard Seagate was going to a 5 year warrenty that sealed the deal. And I'm glad I went with seagate. Installation was a breeze...
