Product Details of Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive - 1 Pack

Description

A number of design improvements enables the Barracuda 7200.7 to continue Seagate's industry-leading ruggedness. These include fewer, smaller and lower-profile PCB components protecting against handling damage. The PCB itself is now recessed to reduce the risk of handling damage. A recessed motor housing and connector with protective nub also shield against handling damage. And the drive's chip set is more integrated than ever, with just a single chip dedicated to both read-channel and interface functions. The 120GB Barracuda 7200.7 Hard Drive also features Seagate's 3D Defense System to protect users' information from common problems. The exclusive 3D Defense System - Drive Defense, Data Defense and Diagnostic Defense - has helped customers by improving long-term reliability and reducing returns due to handling damage.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Speed (when used in RAID 0 or 1), RELIABILITY, DURABILITY, low cost of ownership, run on high or low quality environment.

Weakness: None

I own 2 of the 120GB drives and 2 of the 40GB of the same make and model and I'm very happy with their performance. Currently, my gaming pc runs two 120GB in RAID 0 and it performs amazingly fast. After running a performance test, the read and write speed improved by 38%. Even using the drive as a single will give you comparable read & write speed. However, do not use these drives as master/slave...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Easy install for g3 imac.

Installed easily into my G3 imac. It has been mentioned that you should only go with 5400rpm for that era imac but with improvements in cooling technology it seems the 7200rpm works just fine.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Quiet operation, Large capacity, Great bundled software, 8MB cache

Weakness: ATA interface only, no Serial ATA (SATA) interface available

Seagate always has been one of the most trusted hard drive brand and this product does not disappoint. It is a very quiet drive with 8MB cache. It is reasonably priced - even better with various discounts and rebates. Highly recommended.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Speed, capacity, Reliability

Weakness: ATA-100, instead of 133

I bought this drive from a brick-and-mortar store a few years ago becasue it was $60 after rebates, and you can't beat $.50 a GB. This drive has had no problems, and neither have any of the other seagate drives I've owned. This one in in a computer that is usually left on 24/7, and it performs great. The 8MB cache makes a big difference over comparable drives with 2MB. 120GB is more than I'l need...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Price,Speed,5 Year Warranty

Weakness: None

Great drive for the price. Has a 5 year warranty which is great. I'm using this for audio/video files and I like it much better than my WD drive. I've also had my last 2 WD drives fail me out of the box, so it was nice not to have that problem this time. Will be sticking with Seagate drive now. Included software is also very good.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Idle Acoustics of 25 dB; Average Seak Time of 8.5ms; 8MB Cache; Warranty; Price (on sale during the Holidays)

Weakness: none

I wanted to upgrade my hard drive. Being a novice I didn't really know what to look for aside from capacity, but I knew one thing is on the top of my priorities and that is noise level. Seagate has the lowest acoustics out of all the major brands. Barracuda’s 25 dB is amazing, considering the other brands reside around 35 or 30 dB!!! This saved so many headaches. Performance wise this is the...

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: Price Reliability

Weakness: none

I already own a seagate 40 gig hard drive. Never had any problems in 4 years. So I opted for a larger one. Very easy to install. Detailed instructions.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: quiet, easy installation with upgrade CD, fast 7200RPM, 8MB cashe

Weakness: ATA100 not ATA133 but it is ok.

This drive comes with upgrade kit CD and it is very easy to upgrade my PC. It is very quiet. It is ATA100, not ATA133 but I think we cannot recognize the difference, it is fast enough.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 120 GB Internal Hard Drive...

Strengths: ultra-quiet operation. Fast (8MB cache). Good packaged documentation and cd.

Weakness: none.

Compared to my old IBM deskstar (60GB, 2MB cache), this HD is much, much faster, and barely makes any noise at all. I would highly recommend this drive if you can pick one up for cheap. Also, documentation was very good; it was completely straightforward (even for a novice) to move my stuff from the old HD to this new one.
