Theres a lot to like about this drive. Its good for a gaming PC due to its solid read and write performance scores

A huge amount of data to back up (you’ll be in a world of hurt if it fails and you haven’t backed it up)
Abstract: Seagate has done an amazing job with the 1.5TB Barracuda 7200.11. The data transfer performance is just out of this world and its hard to believe the 1.5TB drive is even in the same series. The performance increase is so great across the board that Se...
The first terabyte hard drive debuted at $345, or a whopping 35 cents per gigabyte. Hard drive prices have plummeted since, with terabyte models currently selling for between $120 and $150. Surprisingly, though, the Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB doesnt carr...

Although the 7200.11 represents a step forward for Seagates acoustics (the first in a while), its still not quite good enough to compete with the quietest drives. A year or two ago, the single decibel difference between idle and seek noise might hav...
Normally, as new things come out you would think they would get faster. This isnt exactly the formula for hard drives though and for the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, this is not the case either. The Barracuda 7200.11 finishes very strong in some tests,...
Abstract: Barracuda 7200.11 Seagate has joined Hitachi in the terabyte (1TB, or about 1,000GB) club with this new hard drive. The Barracuda 7200.11 uses PMR (perpendicular magnetic recording) to pack all that data onto four hard disks. We remember a time when i...
