New 160 GB SATA hard drive
This new Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 provides 160 GB of storage on a 3.5-inch SATA 3Gb/s interface. It spins at 7200 RPM with an 8 MB buffer and supports Native Command Queuing under the SATA 2.5 revision specification. The drive is suited to mainstream desktops, workstations and media PCs needing basic internal capacity.
Suits legacy builds, not modern capacity needs
Builders repairing or upgrading older SATA-based systems will find the 3 Gb/s interface and 160 GB size a direct match. Users who need more storage, faster throughput or contemporary features such as larger caches and higher areal density should look at something else.
160 GB handles light workloads
The 160 GB capacity comfortably holds an operating system, core applications and a modest document library. It runs out quickly with modern game libraries, high-resolution media collections or virtual-machine images that demand hundreds of gigabytes.

Domande su questo articolo
Does my motherboard need a SATA 3Gb/s port to run the ST3160812AS?
The drive connects through a standard SATA 3Gb/s interface, so the board must provide a SATA data connector and matching power lead.
Will the Barracuda 7200.9 work on a SATA 1.5Gb/s controller I already have?
SATA 3Gb/s devices negotiate down to 1.5Gb/s automatically, so the 160GB drive will operate on the older controller at the lower link speed.
How can I confirm the 7200RPM unit is healthy after installation?
Check that the BIOS or OS reports the full 160GB capacity, then run a SMART short self-test and verify the reallocated-sector count stays at zero.
