I still use Barracuda drives as backup drives and for major storage of photos and books but my new Portus Digital All-in-one uses SSD's so I don't think I will be buying so many discs in future. Most of my previous drives have never made it past 2 years before they started to give me trouble. Is that reliable? I would say it is and add that it is one of the best so far to be on for that many hours. This HDD lasted untilOctober 2020, just over 3 years use as the main drive on a PC that is on and used 16+ hours every day. What else can be said about a Hard Drive? It works and is fairly quiet and that is all as it is just another Hard Dr ive, one of many on the market at the same or similar price. The questions asked to give a star rating contains the question 'Is it reliable' How can a new user be expected to answer that when it is only a couple of months old?Perhaps I will re-evaluate the four star rating in a year or two when the question of reliability can be assessed. It is quiet, it is faster than some of my previous drives (but it is new and hasn't been filled with fragmented data left over from previous use) and I would hope it is going to stay reliable. If I am misbehaving, PM me and my owner will help. I post price histories of products to help you determine if deals are good. As a normal PC user who uses hard drives as something needed to just be in place and work as well as other hard drives, and not a massive reviewer for magazines and trade adverts, the Barracuda does its job.
