With up to 750GB of pure digital storage in a single drive, the Barracuda 7200.10 may be the largest, most reliable disc drive around. New perpendicular recording technology supports vertically stored data bits, enabling increased areal density and dependability for workstations and performance PCs. The hard drive's 3.0 Gb/s Serial ATA interface enables the user to connect to, and work with, other systems at a faster speed without any extra efforts. The hard disk has a 16 MB cache and works at 7200RPM, blowing away the 5400RPM “limit” for large scale hard drives.
Each time your PC is switched on, the Clean Sweep feature will fine-tune your drive, maintaining both media and drive reliability. Adaptive Fly Height maintains the distance between disc head and platter, based on fluctuations in environmental operating conditions. The Seagate SoftSonic Motor facilitates noiseless operations, while the Enhanced G-Force Protection prevents data corruption. In short, you have a set of features designed to ensure that your precious data will stay safe for a long time to come.
. . . Besides, we all know you just want to brag that you have the biggest drive on the block!

Big, fast, and quiet
- Pros: I have two of these drives, and intend to get a third (or perhaps 3 more) to run a Netcell RAID3 set up (already have the card). The Perpendicular type drives are faster then their predecessors in both seek time and sustained transfers in real world use, which makes me happy. :). These drives are as quiet as anything else in my box (Samsungs, other Seagates, one WD) and have been working perfectly for over 6 months.
5 year warranty affords me peace of mind.
Highly recommended.
- Cons: They run about 1-2C warmer than the other Seagates I own, but I've made allowances for that by putting them into the bottom of my Antec P180 case, which has a designated drive cage that behaves like a wind tunnel and keeps the drives acceptably cool without a lot of fan noise.
- Other Thoughts: I haven't noticed any clanking from these, or other Seagate drives as mentioned in other posts. Nor from my Samsung and three WD drives, though an older 40GB WD model is pretty noisy overall, but older generation drives are all usually noisier than modern ones, IME.
Solid product
- Pros: This is a very solid drive, especially when used in multiples. Running four of these drives in a Raid-5 configuration (1 as spare) finally provides a lot of us with reasonable cost options for data-center and operations wide storage away from using large arrays to satisfy network data needs. Basically, with over 2TB online, we are able to do all image and data storage without nearly as much heartache as before.
- Cons: Very few. One however: if you are using a multi-port SATA RAID card, you may be required to get a newer BIOS to make best use of this drive.
- Other Thoughts: A solid performer for those looking for network wide data storage.

Works for 2 days
- Pros: Good price, perpendicular recording
- Cons: Fairly loud compared to other drives, and it worked for 2 days and Vista started reporting hw problem with the disk and it crashed. Very disappointed
- Other Thoughts: Loud, unreliable. There appears to be better options out there...what was I thinking.
2 of 3 new drives -
- Pros: A good price for the capacity, 5 year warranty.
- Cons: My drives were made in China. While setting up a 3 disk RAID 5 array for a NAS with these drives, I noticed some performance problems with the Array. While running my testing my wife walked in my office and asked if I was trying to communicate using Morse code. I walked in the room where the system was running and heard: The Click of Death.
Random access test patterns made 2 of the 3 drives sound like woodpeckers banging on a tin can. SMART seek_error_rate values of 36 and 46 on the noisy drives (good drive is @ 66, the 'imminent failure' threshold is 30). All three have different seek times, especially for full stroke- in fact the worst drives full stroke seek time is more than twice that of the functional drive: (72ms vs 35ms).
Back they go to newegg, and I'm out shipping costs..
- Other Thoughts: Either newegg needs to improve the way it ships hard drives to withstand high G impacts; or Seagate's QC is so far gone, they will soon go broke from servicing 50% of their drives during their 5 year warranty. I guess I need to run an IOMETER torture test on every new drive for a week before production use, and evaluate both SMART info and performance info to be sure the product is up to spec. You couldn't pay me to put data on these disks otherwise!
Worked and Died
- Pros: Worked for a day.
- Cons: Died the next day. Started clicking on start up. This was a secondary drive added to a Media Center. On boot drive would click, spin down, spin up. Vista would recognise it and show the files, but as you would try to play the files, playback would freeze and drive would click and spin down, spin up.
- Other Thoughts: Need better QC at the factory!
