The eco-friendly 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda is starting to fail its customers.

The eco-friendly 1 TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB (ST31000340AS) is starting to fail its customers.

This afternoon, I received an IM from one of my college friends telling me about his awful experience with the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11.

The Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 is a 1.5 TB eco-friendly laptop storage device. It saves 43% of power without compromising drive and system performance, according to Seagate specifications. My friend says otherwise. Just last night, while working on his laptop, his Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 failed him.

According to my friend, after the hard disk failure, he tried rebooting his system but to no avail. His computer was not able to detect the hard drive. He tried fixing the problem using standard trouble shooting methods but it still didn’t work. All of his works, projects and other important files were gone in an instant because he trusted the brand that he thought would never fail him.
