May Not be the Largest, but Certainly the Quietest...and Fast

bypaulphoto May 22, 2004
105 Helpfuls 106 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quiet & smooth operation, fast data accessing, large capacity, reliable
Cons NONE
Recommended it? Yes

My favorite large capacity hard drive is a 120GB. I used to run my computer under Windows 2000 (Win2k), the pre Service Pack version that does not support any drive larger than 137GB (since it cannot access space beyond that number). Therefore, a 120GB was the largest hard drive that I could use... Read full review »

An idiot installs a hard drive - Wonders never cease

byAhab1973 Nov 9, 2005
21 Helpfuls 22 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Reasonably fast - Quiet - Reportedly reliable - Reasonably priced.
Cons Installation may be a bit problematic
Recommended it? Yes

(Note) This review is written pretty much from the perspective of a computer idiot (hence the name of the review). I'm not familiar with most of the technical terms for hard drives. Specs don't mean much to me....although I can usually deduce which products are better by looking at the specs... Read full review »

Pros low heat, low noise, good throughput all-around, slightly better performance than...
Cons Reaching an advertised 150MB/s is still a long way to go...
Recommended it? Yes

Recently, Seagate Barracuda SATA generation explodes with impressive option on storage capacity. Not long ago, I used to view that a hard drive with 120GB or 160GB would be more than enough for my data-storage need. Of course, it was true, because back then I mostly used my hard disk drive for... Read full review »

Spacious Inexpensive 100 ATA Parallel Interface Hard Drive

bypeterdmar Feb 25, 2006
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Quiet and fast for a parallel interface ATA hard drive
Cons Should not be installed on computers lacking Windows XP or 48 bits LBA support
Recommended it? Yes

This spacious 250 GB quiet Seagate hard drive was purchased to use as my secondary drive to provide me with extra storage on my second computer. When formatting it I've divided it into two petitions so if I want to, I can install Windows XP on the first petition and used the second petition for... Read full review »
