About this product

Product Information

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB internal HDD is essentially three 512-GB drives combined into one. When you format your new ST31500341AS, you'll have a capacity of around 1,397 binary GB of space to work with. That's more than enough storage for most people. The disk even boasts platters that spin at 7,200 RPM. This translates into lower seek times. While you might think that it would take a longer time to write to large volumes, this isn't the case with the Barracuda ST31500341AS. Its fast platter speeds help it to achieve strikingly fast writing speeds.A Seagate hard drive typically only generates 2.6 bels of noise while it is idle. This drive runs the latest firmware and usually generates up to 3.2 bels of noise at the most. This level of noise typically occurs when the drive is searching for data. You can make your desktop computer much quieter with this fast and efficient drive. You’ll especially appreciate this if you're doing anything like video editing that will require copious amounts of disk access.The 1.5TB of volume should do the trick to improve your desktop's speed, performance, and storage efficiency. You should see full performance numbers with regular SATA cables that transfer data at a rate of 3 GB per second. This is a 3.5-inch standard form factor drive that easily fits into any standard desktop computer case. This Seagate Barracuda drive is an excellent choice as the primary drive in your machine. It also works great as a secondary backup device for storing your movies, music, photos, software, and documents. This device boasts the perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology. It is an excellent choice for desktop PCs and Macs, workstations, external storage devices, network storage, game systems, or home servers.A 32-MB cache makes this drive a great choice for anyone doing high-end gaming. It also works great if you need a hard drive to run FPS titles. The fast seek time means you won't lose an in-game life or race due to a lagging hard drive. If you're currently running games off a USB stick, then you'll see a huge performance increase when you move the files over to this drive. Mechanical data storage can work much faster. Not only does this device deliver great speed and power, but it also has a small ecological footprint. Over 70% of the materials in this drive are recycled. Plus, it generates less heat and consumes less energy when running.The drive’s dimensions are 4 inches wide by 5.8 inches long by 1 inch high. The SATA interface of this drive allows it to operate independently of the power supply. If you're looking for a drop-in replacement for an existing hard drive, you might want to try this device. Most motherboards will recognize this drive instantly without any issue or glitch.

Item was delivered within time frame specified. Packaging was superb. When I removed it from the packaging, I could not tell the difference between this one I purchased and a new one. It's a real gem. I enjoy using the older versions and this seller did a top-notch job of caring for it & upgrading the system. Thank you to this seller. I highly recommend!

Not the fastest drive, but a good value for the price.
I needed a larger capacity replacement drive for an aging computer, and this Seagate drive fit the bill perfectly. At under $0.07/GB, the value was amazing. The drive is fairly quiet and fast enough. First, the capacity. Most of the 2TB+ drives I found were SATA 3.0, and my motherboard was only 2.0. While this wasn't a big deal, I couldn't justify the extra price for higher performance I wasn't going to see on my system. So, among SATA 2 drives, this was one of the biggest. 5/5 on that. Second, the price. If you search around, you can find these drives at just over 6 cents per gigabyte at the time of this writing. That's a great price range, better than the smaller drives and most of the larger ones. 5/5 on that. Now, performance. The drive is faster than the one I replaced, upping my ...

That's a great price range, better than the smaller drives and most of the larger ones. 5/5 on that. Now, performance. The drive is faster than the one I replaced, upping my Windows Experience score from 5.2 to 5.9 and feeling faster in response when copying large files and extracting archives. Still, it's nothing close to an SSD, and even pales compared to SATA 3 drives, or the Raptors. It also takes an extra second or two to be recognized by my BIOS, slowing down the boot time. 3/5 on performance. Drive noise is an issue for some people like me. This drive is pretty quite generally, but it did make a bit of noise when the swap file was used heavily. I didn't notice any vibration at all. 4/5 on that. So, overall, this is a good drive if you're short on cash and need an upgrade. If you've got the extra money, I would suggest going up to the newer 3.0 drives.

Pros and Cons of Seagate 1.5TB 7200.11 Hard Drive
We use a lot of hard drives in our Desktop RAID system, such as Seagate 7200.12 1TB, 7200.11 1.5TB, Caviar Green 1TB, 2TB. Among all these hard drives, Seagate 7200.11 have the highest performance in terms of disk access/transfer or read-write speed that no other can even compete. Based on our test, all green series will be much slower compared to Seagate 1.5tb. And most importantly, its price is almost the most reasonable if you calculate on a $/GB basis. For example, we tested that copying a very large folder 3800 files/7GB from a standalone Seagate 1.5Tb disk to a 3-disk RAID 5 configuration in our Desktop RAID system only takes around 1 minute, but for all green series it will take 3~5 minutes to finish the job. We found Caviar green is almost the slowest hard drives among all our ... We use a lot of hard drives in our Desktop RAID system, such as Seagate 7200.12 1TB, 7200.11 1.5TB, Caviar Green 1TB, 2TB.

We found Caviar green is almost the slowest hard drives among all our selection since it stop running when idle. The downside is it's very hot when running non-stop, especially when you put several Seagate 1.5TB together. If you have no cooling system in place, system will begain losing disk one-by-one, which means it's no stable enough without cooling system in place, so our Desktop system has special AI cooling system installed to guarantee their working non-stop. The normal working temperature for Seagate 1.5TB is 0~60 degree in centigrade and if your hard drives has worked more than 5 hours, it may reach much higher than 60 degree. So, our suggestion is if you have only one disk installed, it may be ok without cooling measures, but if several hard drives in one case, you have to install cooling system, otherwise your system would be dead for sure. Green series like Seagate 7200.12 or Caviar Green has much lower working temperature, so it can work non-stop stably although disk access rate is slower. In a word, if you want performance, you have no choice but Seagate 1.5TB, but you need to install cooing system to gurantee it can work non-stop stably. But if you have no such mission-critical needs and wish a very quiet desktop, we would suggest you go green, although a little bit slow in reading and writing.

Reliable disk, requires fan cooling, has severe write performance issues.
Traditionally a very reliable disk, this model holds up well under heavy use. It doesn't run too hot when in a fan-vented case. I would not recommend this disk for fanless enclosures. Great for backing up data since write performance is very poor under certain circumstances. Read performance is very good. BEWARE: This disk does not have rotational vibration correction. When used in systems/enclosures that produce significant vibration the write speed of the disk may be seriously impacted. In some instances performance has been reduced to 5MB/s and slower. DO NOT USE THIS DISK FOR any high performance applications that perform high write I/O (IE: Database, video editing/design, etc).Traditionally a very reliable disk, this model holds up well under heavy use.

Seagates are great, and ALL the capacity you paid for is there. Really!
Your mileage may vary, but over the past 25+ years, I have found Seagate drives to be much more reliable than Western Digitals, and Maxtors aren't even in the race. To compute available disk space, you must know the math behind it. In decimal, 1 terabyte would be 1,000,000,000,000. In binary, it would be 2^40, or 1,099,511,627,776. A 1.5TB drive has 1,500,000,000,000 bytes (plus a few more). Divide that by 2^40, and you will get about 1.36TB, which is the capacity expressed in binary. To convert between decimal and binary for a drive measured in gigabytes, use 2^30; for megabytes, use 2^20; for kilobytes, use 2^10 (which is 1024, commonly called 1 kilobyte, or 1000 decimal). In that last case, the difference is only 24 per kilobyte, but by the time you get up into terabytes, the ...

In that last case, the difference is only 24 per kilobyte, but by the time you get up into terabytes, the difference is over 99.5 billion, and people start to wonder where it all went! The label on your Seagate drive claims 1500Gbytes. That is in decimal. In binary, that converts to about 1.36TB. So, you have not been cheated out of any capacity; it's simply a matter of the method of notation. To see the exact numbers for your drive, open Windows Explorer (My Computer), right-click on your drive, click Properties. You will see its capacity in decimal and in binary. To crank through those numbers using my values above, you can use the Windows calculator. In XP, click Start Run. In Win7, just click Start. Enter CALC. Click View Scientific to access the x-to-the-y key (2 keys left of the 4 key). Tap 2 (for binary), then x-to-the-y, then 40 (for tera); press Enter. The rest is simple arithmetic, and should reveal the mysteries to you. If any of that is unclear, just ask most any teenager with glasses to help. [:-)
