About this product
This is a used Seagate Barracuda ST3160815AS 160GB internal hard drive, designed for desktop PCs with a 3.5-inch form factor. It operates at 7200 RPM and connects via a SATA II (SATA 300) interface. The drive includes an 8MB cache and offers a transfer rate of 300 Mbps, alongside a stated 500MB/s read speed. It also features low noise level and RoHS compliance.
Our take
This used Seagate Barracuda drive offers a decent balance of speed and capacity for an older desktop system. The 7200 RPM rotation speed is a strong point, providing good performance for an HDD, and the SATA II interface is still widely compatible. The 160GB capacity is modest, making it ideal for an operating system drive or for storing less demanding files. The 8MB cache is standard for its class. While it's a used item, it's stated to be fully operational, and the features like low noise level and rugged design are appreciated. The 500MB/s read speed likely refers to a burst rate, with the sustained 300 Mbps transfer rate being more practical.
