The Seagate Barracuda 1TB is one of the hard disks we often see in OEM PCs. There are good reasons for this: it's cheap and its specs are bang up to date with a SATA3 controller and 7,200rpm spin speed. Specifications don’t necessarily translate into h...
Although not especially fast when it comes to large file transfers, this inexpensive 1TB disk is great value...

SSDs are of course the hippest and fastest form of storage, but if you want lots of storage capacity without breaking the bank, you're still relegated to the familiar realm of the hard disk. There's still some choice out there in this category, and pric...

Earlier this year, we tested 20 hard drives, including the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB. Since then, Seagate has launched the 7200.12 series - in Australia these are available in 1TB and 1.5TB sizes at present. Rather than the three platters found in...
Strong performance and noticeably quieter than its predecessor. The Barracuda 7200.12 1TB is more than good enough for an OS drive, but also good bottomless storage for your movies and music...

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS is a 1TB internal desktop hard drive with a 32MB cache and a spin speed of 7200rpm. It has two 500GB platters and offers very fast transfer speeds. As hard drives begin to hit 2TB capacities (the Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB (WD20EADS), for example), 1TB hard drives are starting to get cheaper. The Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS, with its formatted capacity of 931GB, is a good example of this. It costs just $189, which equates to a cost per...

A 1TB internal hard disk may not seem very exciting now that 1.5TB and 2TB disks are available. However, Seagates 1TB Barracuda 7200.12 uses just two 500GB platters, whereas other 1TB disks typically use three 333GB platters. Squeezing more data on...

For storage of lots of data, a hard drive is the best option for the time being, especially now that SSD prices are rising rather than falling. Luckily there is still enough innovation in the hard disk field. Time for a new comparative test with no less t...
Despite the fact that there are only three hard disk drive manufacturers left, you have a lot to choose from when you're looking for a new drive. It is not just about prices either. Though SSDs have outperformed hard drives for a long time now, there are...

I’ve got another hard drive for review today; it’s another Seagate model 7200.12 but it’s a slim style drive, it’s only one inch thick. The drive runs quiet and cool and it’s a decent performer, it would be great for an HTPC, or anywhere a smaller dri...

None really...
The Seagate Slim drive is small and quiet, and it doesn’t seem to get as warm as the regular sized 7200.12 drive does so this type of drive would be great for an HTPC where size and noise are an issue. Performance is decent overall; it’s almost...

The 3-platter WD Caviar Green 1.5TB looks to improve on the already impressive acoustics and energy efficiency of the 2TB version. The 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.12, on the other hand, is a performance drive with only a single-platter and has the pot...
