Full review
I have used 2 of these hard drives and never has either of them failed me in any way. Both of the hard drives offer a constant steady speed of around 60MB/s and neither of them make any sound what so ever.

I have used a number of different hard drive manufactures including Maxtor, Quantum, Western Digital and Hitachi. Seagate have to be the only manufacturer who has never let me down and offer completely silent computer usage. I found the Western Digital drive to be very noisy.

After buying one of these hard drives sometime ago for my main machine I decided again to purchase another one for another machine in the house. As stated the hard drives never make a sound and both offer high speed and stability. I never suffered any data loss with either of the hard drives.

The older drive still performs at its speed when purchased and I often format my main machine every 3-5 months to keep it running at best speed so the hard drive has certainly had its usage. I mainly use the machine for gaming and surfing the web, on both tasks the hard drive offers me the speed required.

I've also noticed with some hard drives that as they get older they become more and more noisy; this hasn't been the case with the Barracuda. Although I cannot say this is the same for all of the Seagate range, particularly the older models. I owned a Seagate Medallist for some time and this drive become very noisy in its older days.

If you're looking for a quick small capacity hard drive such as this one then go ahead and buy a Seagate Barracuda! If your motherboard supports it though I'd certainly look into the SATA version of this drive and read up on some reviews, there's a good chance that the SATA version will share the same excellence as this drive.
