Seagate builds the most reliable Hard Drive, in my opinion. I've replaced many hard drives for friends and family, and always use Seagate Hard Drives. The software is easy to install and use, and is readily available from Seagate. This size (160GB), and the 120GB have a very low failure rate,SATA or IDE. Now, I'm not saying I've never seen one fail, but other brands fail (crash) more often.
I have used Seagate Hard Drives for most of my IT career. They are built and perform exceptionally well. Most of the drives installed in our networks are still in service today. They are quiet and efficient. Most of all, they are economical. Although data capacity is a consideration for purchase, speed and durability are ranked as primary. In my view, Seagate IDE & SATA Drives have been the most reliable for the money.
The storage capacity is moderately sufficient considering what purposes you intend to use it for. Formatting the drive is somewhat difficult IF you don't already have an operating system in place. My reason for buying this particular drive was the price I got it for on Ebay, to add more storage capacity to a new PC I was building. Although relatively small by comparison to newly introduced drives, 160 GB is currently sufficient for my purposes, but I will be replacing the drive with a larger one in the not too distant future.
Can't go wrong with Seagate, the drive works great as if it were new. If your looking for an HDD and don't have a lot of cash to spend. This is perfect. Like other reviews have said, Seagate does a very good job of refurbishing there drives. Would definitely recommend to anyone on a budget.
I have had many of this drive and never an issue. I have formatted both inside Windows and without and Operating System. These drives run like a champ!
You can absolutely rely on any product produced by Seagate. Works fine, lasts a long time. SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE SEAGATE
