Strengths: Fast access times, nice 8MB cache.
Weakness: Noise!
Though reasonably priced this drive is EXTREMLY loud! You can hear the read/write head grinding away at the bits of data. This drive is so unusually loud that I returned my first drive thinking it was bad! I have bought and used Seagate Products for many years, however I cannot and will not recommend this product for purchase!
Strengths: Fast with the speed of SATA, great 8Mb cache, quiet.
Weakness: As with everything in my opinion the price can always come down....
I've got two of these drives with a total of 160GBs of storage. I've always used IBM(Hitatchi), Western Digital, and Maxtor drives in the past. The performance of these Seagates may change my future purchases to all Seagate prducts....
Strengths: Fast, quiet, easiest install ever.
Weakness: None so far.
I have always used, Maxtor, and other drives. In the last couple of years I have changed to Seagate. Boy, these puppies are awesome. I never had a problem with Maxtor drives. But the speed and quietness of these Seagate drives, you can't go wrong. Some people have problems installing XP on SATA. None here, easiest and fastest install ever. I just built my budget/performer system and it rocks. AMD...
Strengths: Native SATA interface
Weakness: Failed within first 30 days
Built 3 workstations for a customer and had one of the drives fail within 2 weeks of being delivered. I have (2) 160 G in a raid configuration in a server for the same customer that I’m watching closely. I am seeing one of the drives “growing” bad sectors so will be having to RMA that drive as well. Wish I had better news to report. These were OEM drives that I received from my distributor...

Strengths: Good paperweight for a Breezy desk
Weakness: Just likes to stop working after 30-60 hours of use if that long
Had two of these. Both failed in a matter of a few days use. I basically spent several hours installing software on these hard drives and configuring them. Both failed with less than 60 hours use. They are sending a replacement again but I'm afraid to use it anymore. I used to like Seagate but I can barely get the device setup let alone create a backup in case it crashes. I read a bunch of bad...
