Third generation Serial ATA technology is finally here. Today we are going to take a look at the new Seagate Barracuda XT, the first SATA 6 Gb/s hard drive to hit the TweakTown Test Lab.

Hard drive failed within 6 months

I bought two of these a couple of years back to use in a mirrored configuration. Both failed, one within a year and the second within two years, just now at time of review. Fortunately I was able to replace the first immediately to restore the mirror and also kept other backups...

Bought two of these for my NAS. They arrived in a timely manor and work great. These are bare, unformatted drives and don't come with hardware, but if you're looking for a solid drive and a good value, theses should certainly fit the bill. Very pleased.

This is excellent. It is just what I hope for, and it works extremely well. I have it on a very fast external connector hooked to my Mac Pro, and I use it to backup files when I want to reduce my storage.

The majority of PC users out there have regular mechanical hard drives in their computers, it's going to be a long time before SSDs replace them. Hard drive companies like Seagate know this and they're not going to stop improving the technology, with the introduction of the new SATA 3 interface...

Very fast drive; Large capacity; New SATA 3 interface

SATA 6G Deowsn't make much difference really

Now that motherboards with the Intel P55A Chipset are flooding the channels, it means USB 3.0 and SATA3 devices are going to become more popular. But, we're just now starting to see these peripherals leaking in to the market albeit very slowly and in limited quantities.

This isn't the drive that you'll choose only for storage, but more for Primary drive with a lot of space at the back. Unlike Western Digital where you will need an HBA, you'll use the utility to use the "unusable" space that remains behind during OS Installation.

This hdd was quick enough but the spinning must have been janky because it caused my case(s) to vibrate and make a lot of noise! I used this hard drive in multiple cases and had the same problem!

Its chip and value of money i buy Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA Internal Hard Drive and the experience is very cool. - now i have a lots of space. - very easy to install. - after installing Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA Internal Hard Drive my desktop running smoothly.
