Although most people wont need a hardrive this size to do the basics of any office applications or internet use. This hard drive is for the people who run network drives and do alot of video editing and the like.
Just make sure you remove the jumper before you use it as this limits it to standard SATA speed and is fitted by default. The storage capacity is brilliant and access...

...i bought this hard drive for my new PC. As I wanted alot of storage space, so, I bought this hard drive. I was in need of such high storage capacity because I do some graphics stuff and also I wanted some space for my movie collection.
This hard drive has a spindle speed of 7200 rpm, which is common to other SeagateBarracuda hard drives. This is the mainly used speed for a hard drive now adays.
This hard drive supports SATA-300 interface. Due to this it can transfer data at a very high speed. It also has a cache buffer of 16 MB, which helps in enhancing its performance. It support Native Command Queuing, which is mainly useful in server systems.
This hard drive boosts excellent seek time and transfer rates. It heats up a bit, so, proper air cooling is necessary. Noise is not a problem with this hard drive.
One thing to notice...

Advantages: Reliable Disadvantages: Not the cheapest
...Well I saw the category so I have decided to review my computers C drive.
Seagate drives are not the cheapest there are but are generally very reliable, the main drive on our PC is getting on for 3 years old and is still in perfect condition.
It is not a high speed drive so doesn't get too noisy - unlike the new high speed drives.
Fittting - it is as easy as any other IDE drive to fit, three holes on each side of standard 3 1/2 inch bay.
There are 4 x 0.1" jumpers for setting the drive up as a master or slave, or as the only drive in a PC.
To be honest there is not much more to say except that medium speed Seagate drives are very reliable and are very good for bespoke PCs.
I now have a 120GBSeagate drive as well as drive D:
The drive was supplied by the company which built the PC - in its day this drive was about £80, and the 40...
