"If youre however looking for a harddisk that offers an impressive combination of performance and low noise then look no further than Seagates ST380021A Barracuda IV, it really is an engineering marvel that combines the best of both worlds. No match for the IBM or Western Digital but a fair trade-off between performance and noise level."

What They Say:

Check out these quotes from reviews & previews

"The Barracuda ATA IV runs about as hot as the Deskstar 60GXP. While these drives are definitely not as cool as a cucumber, they should nevertheless run fine without any form of active cooling, though personally, we make it the rule of the thumb to cool any >= 7200 RPM drive in our systems. Thanks to its "SoftSonic" sound barrier technology and its 2-platter design, the Barracuda is quite possibly the quietest drive that has entered our labs."

"This drive should be a big hit with OEMs looking to build quiet systems, or home users that are tired of a chattering hard drive."

"Seagate launched a really dangerous beast combining brilliant performance and high reliability with quite reasonable price (due to a more optimal construction). The new design as well as noiseless operation make this solution a really attractive buy."
