I installed this on an older IBM computer that had a single 150gb hard drive that was full. My initial plan was to just install the new drive as a secondary drive & move some of my data over to it to free up some space. As I began the project I ran into problems right away with the computer not recognizing the new drive but a quick scan of the instructions (something I seldom like to do) revealed a quick fix which involved putting a jumper (included) on the drive to deal with the older motherboard which worked like a charm. While setting up the new drive (to my surprise) I was offered several choices one of which was to completely cloan the old hard drive via Acronis software which was included. I started this process & basically left my computer thinking this procedure might be done sometime the next day only to come back a short time later to find the drive ready to go. I have no idea how long this took but probably 20 or 30 minutes. Any how with two identical drives now in the computer I tried to set the new drive up as the primary in the computer's bios but couldn't figure this out but I don't think it was an option. So I went back into the computer and switched the cables on the motherboard. Backing up a bit there were only two Sata hard drive connections on my motherboard so I figured the primary drive must have to be in the first slot. At this point I figure why even keep the old hard drive in the computer so I completely removed it, set the new drive up in the same location in the case, closed the case and rebooted. I wrapped the old hard drive up and stuck it in my fireproof safety box and haven't had a problem since. It's been two weeks now and so far still no problems

Cheaper HDD in the box - check!

After doing some online research and determining that I wanted the ST3500641AS-RK drive, I found it for a good price at staples.com. Not wanting to wait for shipping, I picked one up at the store instead. So far so good.
After installing it in the computer I noticed that it was recognized by the system as a ST3500418AS. Big differences between the two: a) 3 year warranty on the 418AS vs the 5 year warranty on the 641AS-RK b) no NCQ on the 418AS.
Looking on the site, there is only a small price difference between the two models, while elsewhere the price gap is larger. Hmnn....

Comments about Seagate® Barracuda® 500GB Internal SATA Desktop Hard Drive (7200 RPM):

This is the HDD I used in my custom build. Its fast, quiet, and keeps a lower temperature, even in high use situations. I have always been impressed with Seagate product, and this is yet another good one.

HOWEVER: To all those that read this review, while I find this HDD to be reliable, NO HDD IS TOO RELIABLE FOR A BACKUP. Always backup information that is unique or irreplaceable. If you are not backing up your information, you are asking for disaster.

Comments about Seagate® Barracuda® 500GB Internal SATA Desktop Hard Drive (7200 RPM):

I bought this to be my boot drive, and main storage drive. My system is a gaming system, but for the game files I use a 15,000rpm SCSI RAID system. This Seagate SATA drive holds 500GB, and so I load and store everything else on it. I boot Windows XPx64 (64-bit) from it, and I have no complaints whatsoever.

Comments about Seagate® Barracuda® 500GB Internal SATA Desktop Hard Drive (7200 RPM):

[...] the box model number and drive model number different but the serial number matched. Contacted Seagate and got a reply 2 days later that this is normal the different model number on the box means it is a retail kit, and the different model numbers mean the same thing. If you have to return the drive to Seagate they go by the serial number and not the model number. Drive installed easily and with the supplied cd I was able to clone my old drive and not lose any data or spend hours copying the data from one to the other and then have to install all the programs. It was all done in an hour even though I had the drive partitioned into 4 seperate drives.
