## Description

By now the world knows that Seagate Barracuda 7200 drives, from the world's premier storage provider, deliver years of reliable service and high performance. The ideal choice for workstations, desktop RAID, gaming PCs, high-end PCs, mainstream PCs and USB/FireWire/eSATA external storage. After years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically, rather than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data density which means higher performance to increase productivity. This drive delivers excellent power savings without sacrificing drive or system performance, giving customers the ability to manufacture PC systems and external storage systems that meet energy savings requirements. Seagate hard drives have long been produced with the environment in mind, and not just with low power consumption. With Seagate and the Barracuda drive, our customers can have the best of both worlds, top hard-drive performance and the satisfaction of knowing they are using a high-capacity drive with a very small eco-footprint.

Review: Siempre que busco discos duros me voy de entrada por Seagate, cuyos precios siempre son baratos a comparación de la competencia. Compré este de 4 TB adicional ya que mi disco de 2 TB (igual Seagate) me empezó a quedar pequeño. Sin problemas al darle el formato NTFS en estilo GPT con el administrador de discos de Windows. Hasta el momento llevo casi 2 años con él y ha ido perfecto, pero bueno, siempre he confiado en Seagate, mi viejo disco de 2 TB aún funciona después de más de 6 años conmigo.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is bare drive?**
A: I am sorry if I didn't get your question correctly but If you mean what does "bare drive" mean, in means that it's the drive only. You have to put it in your PC Case and connect the cables. bare drive vs. external drives which come with a case and you connect them usually through a USB cable. If you mean the capacity I got the 2 gig version = 1.8 gb

**Q: Do these come with SATA III cables to connect to your motherboard or do you have to purchase those separately?**
A: **Note** There is no distinction between SATA I/II/III cables. Any SATA cable (quality, not junk) will work with all 3 standards, just as fast: http://www.serialata.org/documents/SATA-6Gbs-Fast-Just-Got-Faster.pdf

**Q: how do you get it to boot or install a OS on it when it says**
A: With the drive installed and a SATA line plugged in along with the power connector you then turn the power on.  As the machine powers up you will be given the opportunity to get into the BIO's by hitting the DEL key.  Once there make sure that the drive is recognized by the BIO's and that you have made the changes to date and time and that you DVD/CD player/recorder is recognized.  Place your WINDOWS or LINEX operating system disk in your DVD/CD then follow the directions.  The operating system disk will format your hard drive.  PS don't forget to set the BOOT order so that your system will boot off of the DVD/CD drive.  Set your hard drive as second boot device.  Once the operating system is installed power down and then back up so that you can reset the hard drive to 1st device to boot from and the DVD/CD to 2nd boot device.

**Q: It's pictured without a cover to somewhat seal the hard drive discs. Does it come with the cover?**
A: The hard drives arrive fully enclosed and ready to use. Not sure why the photo is posted the way it is, however you will have no issues.Hope this helps.
