Seagate Barracuda ST3500418AS 500GB SATA II Hard Drive Video Review

Today we are looking at the Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA-II hard disk drive. This particlar drive comes with a 5 year warranty, is quiet whilst not ruling out being very quick too. Lots of hard drives on the market are quicker, but you compensate by having a noisy drive. This drive has all the features you would want, from a trusted manufacturer.

One thing I can never understand is how videos like this are disliked by people. You see on every video dislikes, but with something like this it really is hard to understand as all the video does is tell you about the product. It didn't say it was the best product, it said it offered a balance of performance and noise, to me that says it is not the best it either of those, so if you are a fan of another company it is not putting that brand down, so really why the dislikes?

Considering this HDD or the Western Digital Caviar Blue? Apparently the WD support is awesome if you ever have probs. Seagate apparently become non existant according to all I have read online.

@keith23uk I'm not a big fan of the blue series, black or green for me, but personally i think this is a great hard drive and have been using it for some time now.

i had mine installed by someone good with computers and its the Seagate ST3500418AS 500GB BARRACUDA 7200.12 Drive but when i got home the computer was working great then after a couple of days i checked my memory space and saw that i had a maximum 37.2GB to use, the guy that installed is very good with computers but he has MS and think he forgot somethin, do u know how i can fix this so that i can use 500gb?
