Seagate Barracuda 7200.7, 160 GB

This is one hard disk you really need to avoid, as I manufacturer of PC's i have installed it for three of my clients, sadly I had to change 2 of them in 3 months. Both of the error prone disks stopped working well after 1 week; with both having bad sectors within 2 weeks, after this date they both stopped working properly. Some people may not have a problem with this disk, but I always had a high opinion of Seagate disks. My confidence in this brand has been shaken badly, I will not be recommending their disks to clients in the future. I would recommend people to buy from another brand now, someone else like Western Digital.

What's shocking is the Seagate site says this about the disk,

• Best-in-class non-operating shock for excellent reliability.
  
• Best combination of performance, acoustics and robustness.
  
• Idle acoustics of 2.5 bels- the industry's best.
  

I felt all three disks installed were rather noisy and reliability was a joke. For anyone interested in this disk the tech info is,

• Capacity:120 GB
  
• Speed:7200 rpm
  
• Seek time:11.5 ms avg
  
• Interface:Ultra ATA/100

My advice is to AVOID!.
