The Seagate Barracuda 1TB is one of the hard disks we often see in OEM PCs. There are good reasons for this: it's cheap and its specs are bang up to date with a SATA3 controller and 7,200rpm spin speed.

This came with my MEDION PC, and it still has not even got 1 bad sector or any other issue in SMART after 5 years of using it as my everything drive.

Bought this drive on Saturday and taking it back to store today (Tuesday). This drive has been nothing but trouble. I should have read about drive online before purchasing, but it was an impulse buy.

This easy to connect and operate device does not requires external adapter to charge as well which makes comfortable to us and you can easily plug and use this superlative product with any of the compatible sources.

The 64MB cache keeps the hard drive running smoothly when activity is high. The trade-offs as you go higher in storage capacity are not worth it as of 2013. For example, the 3TB drives typically have slower access time than this drive.

As critical as I can be at times, it is difficult to knock this hard drive; Nothing negative to report here

Easy to order, no runaround, fast delivery, good packaging, 5*

Not the largest, not the cheapest, but of very just value and reliability for the price.

ok this drive wouldnt detect in my bios or in windows.. so i had to format it.. after that everything was flawless its very quiet i cant hear it at all..

Please be aware that when they say "bare drive" they mean it! You get a drive in an envelope. Period. No instruction/installation manual, no file transfer information, no warranty information.

I bought this for use in my Sky box. Now 2 Years and ONE month later it has totally died. The Sky box won't see it neither will the PC. From now on I'm going with Western Digital Red drives and avoiding Seagate.
