Seagate BarraCuda Pro 500GB Internal Hard Drive Performance HDD – 2.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200 RPM 128MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop, Data Recovery – Frustration Free Packaging (ST500LM034)

Working well as my Fedora Core Linux boot drive. I then created another primary partition for home and made-up a mirrored ZFS volume with a used Intel enterprise class SSD from eBay. The new and old combo is working well and I have a safety net for failure.This drive, the other mirrored SSD and four spinning disks all live in a 6 bay HD enclisre that teplaces a cdrom bay. Everything is still working well a couple months after reconfiguration of my 5 year old Dell XPS 8300 desktop hardware.

Just got done doing an entire rebuild, not my first one.. Ended up having to replace the hard drive as well. This made a bigger difference thand doubling the ram. While cpu's can max out on the information they can take at one time, the increase of rpm's means the hard drive provides the information faster. There is also no such thing as too much cash or cashe. This gives you cashe without costing you cash. Bottom line, everything loads at lightening speed and the increase in cashe stabalizes the system. I was going to over-clock the processor and had already addressed cooling to do so. Zero need to do after installing this.

Just what you expect a good new Hard Drive.Had an issue with Seagate as the serial number would not work on there website to verify authenticity and warranty. But was able to use the chat support feature and the Tec sent my all the documents stating it is authentic and has a 5 year warranty .

Aunque solo lo he instalado, pude notar que el tiempo de instalación del sistema operativo y los demás programas como Office, Adobe Máster, y la transferencia de datos fue muy rápida. Aún no lo he probado con juegos ni he editado videos. Luego les actualizaré.El único detalle que sí note alarmante, es que hace mucho ruido como si estuviese renderizado videos... Pareciera que hiciese uso de la tarjeta gráfica. Actualizaré los drivers.De resto creo que fue una muy buena compra.

Son is in college and working on degree program and didn't want to have an external drive to carry around. Installed into Asus Vivobook without any issues. He is up and running and is very happy. He does very little gaming on the system, so has not really relayed anything back about this.

Barracuda PRO are excellent hard drives. I have already bought more than one. I have no doubt that it is a good purchase and an alternative to solid state disks.

Used in a pc recently purchased. Easy to install, no issue's.
