Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 80GB DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra) internal

Editors' rating

Very good

7.0

out of 10

The good: Affordable; extremely quiet; shielded electronics.
The bad: Mediocre performance.
The bottom line: The Barracuda ATA IV is an exceptionally quiet, large-capacity hard drive at a nice price, but it's too slow. Choose it for ambience, not speed.
