The Seagate Barracuda ST1500DM003 ($99.99 list) is a 3.5-inch, 7,200rpm 1.5TB hard drive. In addition to running over the 6Gbps SATA III interface, the drive has 32MB of cache for improved data access.

Since having two WD green drives fail on me i just went straight to this because a friend recommended it and I can honestly say hasn't failed and for a gaming pc / media centre its perfect for storage.

Drive is roomy fast and quiet. One problem with install. The drive would not boot after cloning. Had to go into bios. In the boot order, The C: drive had disapeared from the choices. Never had that happen before. Am upgrading for space only.

We do a lot of recording with our DAW here DES Studio. So we need are hard drives to work. That's why we use The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST1000DM003 - 1TB

Rebuilt 2 drives in a Raid 1 before lunch, THANK YOU will call XOXO. Average is 160-180, @ idle peaks to 210 MBytes/Sec...WOW. I guess you cant give a good warranty a drive you have to make under water.

Fast; Quiet; runs cool

Cost; Warranty

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.

These are great drives. They are 4K but you don't have to worry about whether you are running it on a 4K or a 512b system. Even if the alignment is off it still runs just as efficient.

Very easy to fit, format and have ready to use in 10 mins. It does come any better than that!

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.

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.
