Seagate’s name alone will undoubtedly sell quite a few Barracuda SSDs. That’s a good thing, as it’s a very affordable drive that delivered some of the best test numbers of any 2.5-inch SATA SSD we’ve ever tested. However, there were occasional minor performance dips and lags that we’re not necessarily used to seeing in an SSD.
Design and features
The Barracuda SSD’s SATA 6Gbps interface and 2.5-inch drive size tells you most of what you need to know—there’s simply not a lot of deviation in the breed. But the 1TB version I tested is only 7mm thick and weighs a mere 50 grams. Thin and light are nice when you’re trying to save weight in a laptop SSD upgrade, but meaningless when it comes to desktops.
