Seagate Barracuda ATA III 40 GB DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra) 3.5 price and reviews

I bought this harddrive to expand my system from its previous small shell, and have been nothing but happy with it. It is so quiet, that the first time I booted into windows with it, I thought the computer was broken until I saw the splash screen. You cannot hear this harddrive working, at all. And it is extremely fast. I would recommend the Barracuda series to anyone on the prowl for a new harddrive. But don't believe that $200 is a good price. Look around, because mine was ~ $110.

I used this drive to replace my 2nd IBM 75 GXP(both of which went south on me) and I couldn't be happier. It's fast, it's quiet, and I doesn't miss a beat!

Will Features such as 350 Gs nonoperating shock 63 Gs operating shock Plus Seagates 3D Defense System makes this a jam packed drive at an affordable price.

I am an IT professional and I switched to Seagate after having problems with just about every Western Digital hard drive I ever had. I have an old 80 megabyte Seagate that has outlasted every WD drive I have owned and still operates flawlessly, even though I took the cover off for demonstrations. The Barracudas are fast and reliable. Obviously, Anon doesn't know what he's talking about. He was even afraid to sign his name.
