Description: This Seagate Internal Serial ATA 7200rpm is a 120GB, desktop internal hard drive.Compared to other desktop internal hard drives on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $155.Its burst transfer rate is 150 MBps.

Pros: None noted, given available product data.

Cons: Has a 1 year warranty, which is less favorable than some similarly priced hard drives.For example, the Western Digital Caviar WD1000BB, a 100GB hard drive at around $150, has a 3 year warranty.

Suitability: For most desktop PCs, given its 3.5" form factor.

Value: Notwithstanding its relatively expensive price, this hard drive has good features for the money.On the other hand, you would typically pay around 30% less to get a desktop internal hard drive having a comparable data transfer rate.
