About this product
This is a new, sealed Seagate Barracuda 160GB internal hard drive, featuring an IDE Ultra ATA/100 interface and a 7200 RPM rotation speed. Designed as a 3.5-inch internal desktop drive, it offers 160GB of storage capacity and is compatible with both Mac and PC systems. This drive is ideal for upgrading or repairing older computer systems that utilize the IDE interface.
Our take
For those with older systems still relying on IDE, this new sealed Seagate Barracuda 160GB drive is a find. The 7200 RPM speed coupled with the Ultra ATA/100 interface means it can provide a decent performance boost for an older machine. It's a genuine replacement or upgrade option if you're keeping a retro build alive or need to recover data from an IDE-based system. However, 160GB is a very modest capacity by today's standards, limiting its use to basic operating systems and light applications. Modern systems will not be compatible with the IDE interface.
