abwolfes from MI Member Since: Jul 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Weeks	Good drive Strengths: seems quick, quiet Weaknesses: none Summary: I got this drive to replace a 80GB 7200.7 that went bad, so I didn't need lots of space, just a cheap, fast drive. It came down to this drive and the Western Digital Caviar SE16, which were compared in their 320GB versions at www.anandtech.com/show... . They basically declared a tie between the two, with the edge to Seagate for its warranty. Since the most HD-intense work I'll be doing on this machine is some video editing, I opted for the Seagate, which seems to have the edge in sustained transfer rate (e.g. reading/writing large video files). The drive is working great so far and the 5-year warranty provides insurance for as long as I'll need the drive. (The authorized retailers through which the warranty is valid are listed at www.seagate.com/ww/v/i...) 100% of People (3/3) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

rschettino from GA Member Since: May 2004 View Member's: Reviews	Barracuda Drive Strengths: Quiet, fast, runs cooler than western digital drives Weaknesses: None Summary: Worked right out of the box. Drive is fast, quiet. Have been using for last week with no problems. I switched to Seagate drives from Western digital. Western digital drives run hotter and I have been having higher drive failures. Highly recommend the barracuda drive. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful.

howdoo Member Since: Aug 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Months	Great Hard Drive Strengths: Affordable Weaknesses: None Summary: You just can't go wrong with the specs and the affordability. I don't have any use for a "super-large" hard drive, but 250GB is affordable -- so couldn't hurt to have a little wiggle room. The drive spins at 7200 RPM and is noticeable when accessing programs and files. After 3 months so far, so good! 100% of People (1/1) found this review helpful.

stereo555 from CA Member Since: Jun 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Super quite and fast . Strengths: Slim (smaller size .80") , single platter , higher STR than other 7200.10 drives , very quite and fast . 5yr warranty . Weaknesses: None . Summary: This latest edition to Seagates 72.0010 drives . This drive is a single platter with a higher STR (sustained rate) making the drive almost as fast a WD 150 Raptor . The drive is SUPER quite and runs nice and cool with the help of less moving parts (less platters and motors) . Put these drives in a raid array and watch your system fly , and even more so if your lucky enough to have a Matrix raid chipset . The new 7200.11 drives are coming soon but retain the same basic specs as this drive but with higher capacity(s) . All in all great new addition from Seagate that wont disappoint , even the most hard core pc enthusiast such as myself . Highly recommend ! *added note: this drive is only available online so-far and does not come retail , only as bulk/oem . 89% of People (8/9) found this review helpful.

jzut from OH Member Since: Nov 2003 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Months	Seagate 250GB is fast, reliable, and comes with great warranty Strengths: Fast, reliable, long 5 year warranty! Weaknesses: none Summary: What more can you ask from a hard drive? This one is most importantly reliable, and Seagate is backing that up with a 5 year warranty... nobody else will back their drives like this anymore. I've had ongoing HD failures with some other popular brands, so loved to see the warranty from Seagate. Also, as noted by others, this drive will not disappoint you... it's fast and quiet, and installs without a hitch. I've used several Seagate HD's now, and they're running great.

persepol from IN Member Since: Feb 2005 View Member's: Reviews	Seagate 250 Gb SATA Strengths: Fast, quiet, cool Weaknesses: None so far Summary: Very satisfied with this drive. Low noise, low heat. This is my first SATA drive and I was surprised how thin it is. No problem with reading or writing - fast performer. 5 year warranty is on top of that too!
