Ideal capacity and interface

This Seagate BarraCuda 7200.10 drive provides 80GB of storage on a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The 3.5 inch form factor fits standard desktop bays. It suits builders who need a basic drive for legacy systems or light data storage. Buyers who want more storage or faster transfer speeds should consider other options.

Thermals noise and power draw

The 7200 RPM spindle speed is driven by a SoftSonic motor designed for whisper-quiet operation. RoHS Directive-compliant construction reflects an environmentally conscious design. Normal desktop use remains quiet with typical power consumption for this class of drive. No specific acoustic or wattage figures are supplied.

Sustained load behaviour

Perpendicular Recording Technology increases data density while reducing moving parts for enhanced reliability. The 8MB cache helps maintain throughput during extended read and write sessions. The drive delivers solid performance for demanding environments and applications over longer periods. No sustained transfer rate or temperature limits are provided.

Questions about this item

How do I install this 3.5" SATA drive in my desktop, and what step is often missed?

Mount the drive in a 3.5" bay, connect the SATA data cable to a 3.0Gb/s port and attach a SATA power connector; the step often missed is enabling the SATA controller in BIOS so the 80GB volume appears.

What maintenance or replacement will this ST380815AS need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the mechanical 7200 RPM motor and 8MB cache run until the drive fails, at which point the entire unit must be replaced.

What limit appears first when this BarraCuda 7200.10 runs under sustained load?

The 3.0Gb/s SATA interface caps maximum throughput, so sustained transfers hit the bus ceiling before the 7200 RPM platters or 8MB cache become the bottleneck.
