Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB Hard Drive
Combining proven components, state-of-the-art
technology and expertise in volume manufacturing,
the Seagate® Barracuda 7200.11 drive—the eleventh
generation of this award-winning desktop hard drive
family—delivers up to 500GB of reliable digital storage.
Seagate has a proven record of delivering reliable products in volume, and the new Barracuda 7200.11 family continues the tradition. Designed with four platters that use the highest areal density available in volume shipping
along with second-generation Seagate PMR
technology, the Barracuda 7200.11 drive offers the ideal
combination of world-class technology and low total
cost of ownership.
Capacities up to 500GB mean that users no longer need to
forego storing any digital content, including high-definition video, large multimedia projects and data-heavy CAD files. Highly leveraged from award-winning PMR technology, the Barracuda 7200.11 drive increases capacity per disk without increasing platter or head count. At the same time, it enhances reliability by decreasing internal
components and increasing magnetic stability at high
areal densities.
This Drive Holds
- 212 two-hour DVD-quality movies or
- 750 hours of VHS-quality video or
- 440 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or
- 186,500 vivid digital photos or

The previous review by Mark sounds exactly like my experience. Bought parts for an entire computer, including two of these drives. One was DOA, the other is fine. I am replacing the other with the same type for Raid. Hope it works out better.

This drive worked really nice, it was very fast and quiet too. However 9 days after I bought it when I turned on my computer the drive made a clicking noise and my computer said ''disk boot failure''. I got a replacement, after 2 weeks it started going really slow and making a lot of noise and some of my files got corrupted. Dont buy this drive, its not worth it.

This thing is very quiet. Notice that it has a jumper on the back, so you can just pop that off to get the 3Gb/s, otherwise it is 1.5Gb/s. Great drive. Going to eventually get another to replace my OS drive.

In December 2007 bought 2 of these drives, one was DOA. Had to contact Seagate for replacement. waiting on replacement. The one remaining is working well, but will be better when the second and third shows up for the RAID 0 Config

Important Note:
OEM hard drives do not include cables, software, or hardware (screws, brackets,
etc.). Full manufacturer's warranty applies.
Please Note:
In order to properly access the full capacity of an ATA interface hard drive
or partition larger than 137GB and properly support 48-bit logical block addressing,
Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 are required. This
issue does not affect SCSI hard drives.

Serial ATA (SATA) hard
drives are quickly becoming the new standard in hard drive technology.
Motherboard manufacturers now include SATA inputs on their boards.
SATA hard drives result in less clutter and increased airflow in the
computer system, because SATA cables are dramatically narrower than
EIDE cables. Some older computer system motherboards don't have SATA
ports, but a PCI SATA controller card can be installed to add support
for SATA drives. If you don't know whether your computer has SATA
ports on the motherboard, refer to your computer or motherboard documentation
or contact the motherboard manufacturer.
