Reviews of the Seagate Barracuda ATA IV 80GB DMA/ATA-100 (Ultra) internal
-
CNET Review
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.
Manufacturer: Seagate Technology
