This Hard Drive is more less a "Middle Of The Road type of Hard Drive.If you look up the reviews of it on ASK or Google.com you'll see that it tops out in certain categories and low in others.This Hard Drive is better represented as a storage drive instead of a high end cache drive which sends information faster to the user.I believe that this Hard Drive is Seagates gate to the end of the common all out hard drive.Seagate has now went on to better and faster Hard Drives capable of pushing higher information speeds.My rating would be an honest rating of 8/10.
I really like the fact that the Barracuda st31000340as has the capacity to to house all of my media and downloads on a single drive. My household consists of several users who all enjoy downloads and media uploading and we can all do this without the fear of a system crash or overload. My download speeds have increased and there are no system freezes. All in all the best buy for the money. The one I am using is a display model and even keeping that in mind I would recomend this product for all home or small office users...
The hard drive was just as advertised. It has very fast read/write capabilty. Very reliable hard drive for the money. Seagate makes excellent hard drives that last a long time and offer a lot of value for the money.
I have used seagate hard drives for over 8 years. I build custom PC's for gaming and business. I use Seagate HDD all the time. They have the best SMART tools available. These driver are 100% reliable. Though I do recommend backing up your system cause you never know when you will get a bug.
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1 TB,Internal is a great backup hd as the read write speed is great even when using a usb docking station, I have several of these units as they last a long time.
