149350 2003-06-03 01:23:00 Hi all, :8} looking at buying a new HDD. The one I'm looking at is the Seagate 40G 7200. I need help with the Identification of the HDD as I don't want a Barracuda 1V 40G as I hear (from this forum) that these models have a high failure rate. So I would like the Barracuda V if possible.

"Barracuda 7200.7" is this the 1V

www.qmb.co.nz (cheap price)

Thanks

Although you'll probably be safe and not get a IV (four) you'll possibly get a newer one which is probably the one they are speaking of 7 (VII), it's just roman numerals for the numbers. Kame (312)
149352 2003-06-03 01:33:00 Hi Kame, so do you think there will be a good chance thats its not a Barracuda four? Bambi (1486)
149353 2003-06-03 01:43:00 Call them and find out :P

It's the simpliest way, they'll go out back look on the seagate drive and see if it is or not, if it is then you know you don't want that one.
