Warning, Seagate Barracuda 7200.11, DiamondMax 22, Barracuda ES.2 SATA hard drive owners. Yes, this is a very serious warning coming out from Seagate itself. Because your hard drive might become inaccessible when you power up your PC system. I got an error comment from an anonymous on January 11th, 2009. At first, I thought just an anti-Seagate wondering around and doing some damages to Seagate branding. However, I changed my mind after seeing this announcement.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB hard drive was selected as my new system hard drive. As I mention before, I don’t care much about hard drive because it is the bottom neck of the whole system. So what does Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 SATA 3Gb/s 500GB hard drive can do?

Continued from Ready to setup my new computer system?

Hehe… I missed out one of the important stuff in my new computer system ~ the hard drive. Without hard drive, how am I going to play my precious games? Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB will be my new hard drive. I don’t care much about hard drive because it is the bottom neck of the whole system. Hard drive is the slowest of all. Therefore, a new technology like solid-state drive (SSD) comes out to replace hard drive. The speed is faster and requires less power. However, it is still very expensive at the moment. Therefore, I still stuck to normal hard drive.
