Dating back 8 months ago, I wrote an article about my desktop setup. After those 8 months, I have to say that I’m really happy with the hardware that I purchased and it’s been working great. A few hick-ups, but that’s normal with any hardware. But I do have to say that my next computer will be an Apple, without a doubt. I’m starting to look at the Mac Pro, but by the time that I’m seriously ready to buy a new desktop, they will have something bigger and better.
I received a couple e-mails from Newegg today and saw they were highlighting the 750GB Seagate Barracuda. A few years back, I remember getting the 40GB Barracudas for my friend Matt. Then I also recalled that I had the Barracudas in my current machine, but mine are only 320GB instead of the 750GB.
These drives are amazing. I have had all sorts of different brands for hard drives. Maxtor, Western Digital, Seagate, you name it and I’ve probably used it in one of my computers before. Out of all the hard drives I’ve ever used, the Seagate drives have been by far the most reliable. The 320GB drives that I currently have in my machine are doing a great job. They are quiet, fast, and haven’t shown any sign of wear or tear.
I can highly recommend this drive and the Seagate brand to everyone that is interested in hard drives. I can do that because Seagate has provided a quality product to me that has never let me down. I’ve been a user of Seagate for about 3 years now and I can say that I love Seagate drives. I won’t ever buy another brand of hard drives.
Here are few specs of the hard drive which you may want to know.

- Interface: SATA 3.0Gb/s

You can feel safe in knowing that you are getting a quality drive when you buy a Seagate drive.
Edit: I forgot to add this in here. But those 750GB, it’s only probably around 720GB to be honest. Dr. Macenstein makes some good points about how hard drive manufacturers really need to be honest about how many gigabytes you’re actually getting.
