Barracuda drives feature fourth-generation Seagate perpendicular recording technology. Perpendicular recording is advanced technology pioneered and proven by Seagate to help you do more by storing data bits vertically, greatly increasing data density on the disk. Increased data density means higher performance, better reliability and lower costs per gigabyte of storage. Note: Seagate ships this drive in both 4K- and 512 byte sectors. SmartAlign technology is included on 4K sector drives. Both drives are functionally and physically equivalent. Best-Fit Applications: Desktop or all-in-one PCs; Home servers; PC-based gaming systems; Desktop RAID; Direct-attached external storage devices (DAS); Network-attached storage devices (NAS).

Do you have a question about the Seagate Barracuda 500GB Hard Drive?

Q: I have taken one of these out of an old computer tower and wand to use it as an external portable drive. What sort of caddy/ enclosure do I need?
Answer by CCL on 16th May 2013
Hi there You would simply need a caddy that can take a 3.5" HDD that supports SATA drives, I believe this is currently our best selling option; http://www.cclonline.com/product/76329/U35SPA/External-HDD-Enclosure/CiT-3-5-USB-2-0-SATA-IDE-HDD-Enclosure/HDD3443/ A full list can be found in this category: http://www.cclonline.com/category/703/Storage/External-HDD-Enclosure/ Hope this helps DCW

Q: Is it possible to fit this to replace an IDE HDD? If it is, which cables/kit would you recommend to complete the installation? Many thanks.
Answer by CCL on 19th December 2012
This is possible, although you would need an adapter and the transfer speed would be limited to SATA I (150MBps). Startech do an excellent adapter which you can find by using our search box to find "CAB0574". -MR

Answer by Website User on 4th January 2013
Had my PS3 from day one back in March 2007 60GB version and now the hard drive is genittg full. So with this in mind I upgraded to this drive and I don't know why I didn't do it sooner! Before you install the new drive make sure you backup your old drive first to an external drive if you want to keep your data ie. downloaded games, addons, save data etc. etc. The changer over could not be easier pop the cover off the side and one blue screw to undo then slide the drive out easy, well this part was the 4 screws that was holding the original drive in were that tight (over tightened as the cradle was bent at these points) that I managed to get two out with not rounding the pozi drive heads the other two I had to drill the heads off to free the drive from the cradle not fun but I have done this lots of time in my job. With the new drive fitted in the cradle slide back in to place and remember to fit the blue screw and side plate back on. Turn on the PS3 and straight away it finds the new drive and formats it to the PS3 system reboot the system and away you go (At first it did not find the drive after formatting it had to hard reset then it was fine) Then just restore your data from you back up and its like it was before the swap over only with a lot more space now sign up for a Playstation Plus account and enjoy loads of new stuff. One more thing I don't know if its just me but it feels faster loading data from this drive might just be because its a clean install. Hope this helps fellow PS3 owners its well worth doing.
