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, along with its 5-year limited warranty, 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast and quiet drive, 18 April 2009
By Mr. Martin Cowen (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bought this to replace a Samsung Spinpoint SP1604N, which was chosen for its quietness and was mounted in a Silent Drive enclosure inside the PC, from QuietPC. The Seagate is slimmer than the Samsung, so didn't fit the Silent Drive enclosure, but direct mounting it inside the PC resulted in an even quieter drive than before. So I can recommended this type for anyone looking for a quiet drive.

It doesn't compromise the performance either - the Seagate measured 103 MB/s average read rate, compared to 51 MB/s which I had been getting from the Samsung via PATA using HD Tach 3.0.4.0, and burst rate is 116 MB/s compared to 93 MB/s from the Samsung.

The drive doesn't come with any extras at all, so you may well need to buy a SATA data lead and a SATA power lead if your power supply doesn't already have one, or a splitter/converter. You also need to find four mounting screws. The drive is capable of 1.5 GB/s transfer rate, by adding a jumper, which is not included, so defaults to 3 GB/s but my Asus A7N8X motherboard didn't complain when I attached it without adding a jumper.

I used Acronis True Image to copy over all three of my partitions in one go, which took about 40 minutes (160GB copied and 500GB formatted, all in one go) total, so I can also recommend that software.

5.0 out of 5 stars Massive and worth every penny, 8 Aug 2009
By T. Pye (Norwich England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was short of space for films etc do I purchased this drive. It is installed in an external case. It was so esy to fit but more of a bind whenI tried to use it. How to format an external hard drive.After pondering a while I tried the internet. Easy once you know how.It took ages to format but it is a 500 gig after all. Its now fired up and works so well. To say I am pleased is an understatement.
If you buy one of these drives take advice from the internet on how to format. So wont regret it.

Trevor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Seagate Barracuda 7200 12 Installation, 15 Oct 2009
By Mr. Robert A. Gordon - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you can change a light bulb you can instal a Seagate Internal Hard disk Drive. The removal and installation took just five minutes,then another ten minutes loading the system from my recovery disks. All up and running in less than half an hour. I was also very pleased with the cost of a much improved hard drive than the previous hard drive that I had.Seagate OEM 500GB Barracuda 7200.12 Internal Hard Disk Drive (7200RPM, SATA, 16MB Cache)
