Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB Hard Drive
High-capacity Barracuda 7200 disc drives, from the world’s premier storage provider,
deliver years of reliable service and high performance. Using advanced manufacturing
techniques and extensive design experience, Seagate engineers have built the
world’s tenth-generation 7200-RPM desktop disc drive to provide the industry’s
leading combination of capacity, performance and reliability. New perpendicular
recording technology supports vertically stored data bits, enabling increased
areal density—and dependability—for workstations and performance PCs.
Advantages of Perpendicular Recording
After more than ten years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording
is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing
data vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean
increased data density -- which means higher performance to increase productivity.
This Drive Holds
- 127 two-hour DVD-quality movies or
- 450 hours of VHS-quality video or
- 265 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or
- 112,500 vivid digital photos or
- 640 action-packed games!

I baught this back when I built a new system in Febuary 07'. When I got it I also baught a HD cooling Fan and mounted on it as well. Seeing how many problems you've all had with this specific Hard drive. I've never had a problem with it, no random reboots, never failed to boot, no crashes, Windows went into the drive nice and smooth. Theres a possibility that these drives may run Hot, and the cooling fan on Mine may be all thats keeping it from giving me problems like yours. I'm not sure. I'd buy a hard drive cooler and give it a try, only 14.99 on Tiger, and if the drive still doesnt work, throw it on the new Hard drive you end up buying anyways.

Drive failed after less than two months of use! I know mechanical devices can fail, but that seems crazy to me. I appear to be in the minority, but I saw the exact same symptoms as the reviewer ''Tana.'' Even more annoyingly, no sign of trouble until one day it just starts making a horrible high-pitched whine and won't boot. Every other hard drive I've had go bad has at least shown signs of trouble and given me time to backup and get a replacement, rather than failing spectacularly literally overnight. Now Seagate insists I pay the return postage for a replacement lousy drive?! Won't buy from this manufacturer again.

This SATA hard drive seems to be running fine and I had no problems cloning my old drive to this Seagate Barracuda drive. Only one problem with value of this product: it does not come with any installation hardware (SATA data and power cables, mounting screws). The webpage should indicate so that one can order these with drive. But why wouldn't Seagate add these to the product? Saving a few pennies?
