This review is from: Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 ST3160215A 160GB 7200 RPM 2MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Hard Drive (Perpendicular Recording) Bare Drive
Pros:
It's still running after 2.5 months.
Initially inaudible above my case fans.
Cons:
New Seagate drive running Win 7 is noticeably slower than my old 2002 WD drive running Win XP.
Overall Review:
After a few short days, the drive started making faint ping-of-death type sounds that come and go. Seagate's diagnostic software cannot find anything wrong however and after two+ months of constant use there still have not been any data errors.
