BarraCuda 3.5″ Hard Drive 1TB Review

So I am broke, just like most people I know. But I still wanted a decent Hard Drive to store some of my less-used files, like my insane amount of screenshots. They barely take up a GB of storage, so a TB like the one used in this BarraCuda is more than enough for me, and I will bet you its more than enough for you too.

This HDD was incredibly easy to install, much easier than I was expecting. It also runs incredibly smoothly and is very quiet. Funny story: I was actually on the verge of divorce with my wife because of all of my computer stuff being incredibly noisy at night, including my old HDD, but now, because of this, it’s so quiet that she doesn’t even know I’m home. She then sometimes invites over her lover; he’s a pretty cool guy. Though when we go to bed, it’s a bit awkward. A queen-sized bed wasn’t meant for 3 people.

I have gotten the word around about this little thing and gotten a lot of positive feedback from it. Most of everyone I talked to made the same points about it being easy to install and having it run buttery smooth. Also, with all Seagate products, there is a 3-year warranty, so even if you use and abuse this thing to its limits or you just get a faulty one on arrival, no worries, you can get another.

Now before I close off I have yet to go into detail about its most prominent selling point. You are practically stealing this thing for how cheap it is. I mean, only $54 (at the time of writing this price is subject to change) is really good for how much space you get out of it. I actually did the math and its about 6 cents per GB of space in this thing.

If my review isn’t convincing enough, there are plenty of others such as this one that provide even more insight into the greatness of this drive!
