Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Designed with up to four platters and the only second-generation perpendicular recording technology in the industry, the Barracuda 7200.11 drive offers the ideal balance of world-class technology and value, providing customers with an optimal overall solution. The capacity, reliability and performance of this drive, ensure the longevity of digital content for years to come.
The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 drive delivers up to 43 per cent power savings over the previous desktop generation without sacrificing drive and system performance levels, giving customers the ability to manufacture eco-friendly PC systems and external storage systems that meet energy-savings requirements.
Seagate hard drives have long been produced with the environment in mind, and not just with low power consumption. Like all other Seagate drives, the Barracuda 7200.11 product family complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive — a regulation that limits the use of hazardous materials in electronic goods. Seagate also takes great pride in implementing numerous voluntary material restrictions for the good of the environment.
At Seagate we are committed to minimising the envirnmental impact of our products and operations, and producing energy-efficient, RoHS-compliant hard drives is just one element of that commitment. Our facilities are operated to be energy efficient and minimise our carbon footprint. For example, Seagate has implemented production efficiency measures, such as replacing or renovating less-efficient equipment, resulting in a 20 per cent increase in production efficiency on a per-hard-drive basis. In just six months this delivered a savings of 158.93 million kWh, or enough energy to power nearly 15,000 US homes for one year. Seagate has also deployed aggressive waste minimisation and recycling programmes in facilities worldwide.
Seagate employees are fully engaged in this environmental commitment and participate in many ways, from innovating eco-friendly hard drives, planting trees at company facilities and identifying eco-friendly manufacturing improvements, to car pooling and telecommuting.
With Seagate and the Barracuda 7200.11 drive, our customers can have the best of both worlds — top hard drive performance and the satisfaction of knowing they are using a high-capacity drive with a very small eco-footprint.

Some of the early production runs of the 1.5TB Barracuda had problems with the installed firmware, causing mistiming issues which quickly rendered the drives unusable. I bought my drive just after Christmas and fortunately it already had the updated firmware installed (check the Seagate support discussion forum for details of the problem firmware) I installed my drive straight from the box, without any problems, and after a quick format it has worked perfectly ever since. It is a very quiet and fast drive, with the highest capacity currently available. Highly recommended.

Just what it says on the box. I recently bought a MacPro which has 4 slots for hard drives, and this one fitted in, in about 5 seconds flat - literally. The back comes off, the tray slides out - you screw in the drive, and slide it back in - no fiddly connections - it's all tken care of.
What a price for 1.5Terrabytes !

I have been running with this drive since Nov 08 and I can only praise it so far. Absolutely 100% plug and play for me straight out of the box, and not a hiccup since.
You will only need to update motherboard drivers etc. *if* your computer needs updating for accessing all 1.5TB drives...which nothing to do with this drive in particular.

Big Drive
This drive is good (so far) and it's so big you can hear an echo when you chuck data down it :)

Terrible, unreliable drive.
First drive failed after a little over 2 months, starting with a poor S.M.A.R.T. report (bad sectors), then regular refusals to boot and blue screen crashes. Read more
