If you do NOT value your time, money or data - then I highly recommend this drive. For everyone else - STAY AWAY!As I said in the title, I truly wish I could give this drive 0 stars, and 0 stars for Seagate's support procedures, too (emphasis on procedures - I have nothing against their support reps). I've used dozens of hard drives from many different vendors over the years (including WD, Seagate, Toshiba, Fujitsu), some were better and some were worse - but I never came close to experience anything quite like what I experienced here.Bottom line - both the original drive I purchased, as well as the replacement drive I received - crashed within a couple of months of fairly low usage. Read on if you'd like the full details.When I first bought the drive, it was towards the end of 2008, when Seagate was already acknowledging an issue, and began providing new firmwares. I figured that a big company like Seagate won't be able to afford not-to-fix that issue, and decided the buy the drive despite the negative reports. A clear mistake.Within several days after purchase I started experiencing the same symptoms people were reporting - the drive slows to a halt, disappears from Windows, and also began to 'develop' a handful of bad sectors. Upgrading the firmwares (multiple times, as they were released) seemed to improve the situation - but didn't really. After less than 4 months, the drive died completely failing to spin up and manifesting the dreaded click of death.It was the first time ever a drive failed on me while in warranty (discounting a drive that crashed when I dropped my laptop a few years ago - which was completely my fault), so it was an unpleasant surprise to receive a refurbished drive in return. It was the very first time in my life (around 20 years of relevance) that I had a refurbished drive in any of my systems. I checked the firmware to make sure it's not supposed to be affected - and it wasn't. Long story short - exactly the same thing happened with this refurbished drive, only this time it only took 6 weeks. During these 6 weeks - as the same old symptoms that happened with the 1st drive began to repeat themselves, I contacted Seagate's support and asked them what I can do to avoid losing >1.1TB of data again. Their response was simply that these are good drives, that just a few bad sectors and a couple of spinup problems don't mean much, but that I can RMA it if I'd like.Soon thereafter, what I predicted would happen actually happened and the drive died (exact same symptoms; failing to spin up, click of death). Thankfully I was backing it up most of it to another drive on a daily basis due to lack of trust, so I hardly lost any data. I contacted Seagate's support and asked what I need to do in order to get a brand new drive, recently manufactured - so that it might actually live to celebrate it's first birthday instead of dying so prematurely. Their answer was simple and consistent - sorry, no can do, we can only give you another refurbished drive, and don't worry about it - they're fine.Telling them I have next to no faith in the model, but *absolutely no faith* in another refurbished drive from the same model was of no help. "We'll be happy to send you another refurbished drive". Why Seagate expects users to be willing to trust their data with these faulty drives is beyond me - after two failures in such a short timeframe, the burden of proof should be on THEM.I have my principles, and I refuse to spend more time on these faulty drives, especially if I have no reason to believe they'd be any better than the 100% failure rate I've seen so far (for me - a drive from a new batch *might* be better and worth a shot - but I'm only considering it because I'm already 'invested' in this drive; If you haven't bought one yet - simply STAY AWAY!). Like I told Seagate, this drive will be going to the trash can, I'll swallow the $'s lost, and do my best to prevent others from falling to the same pitfall.By the way - my system is properly cooled, and the drives never went above 43C. I have 2 other WD drives in the very same system that, touch wood, have been working without a single hiccup for over two years.If I helped prevent even one person from throwing money, but more importantly - time and data - at this drive, then it was worth writing this review.

Out of three identical drives I purchased, one failed after 3 weeks, and another one failed after 2 years. Luckily I am running a RAID 1 so I had no data loss, but I definitely think these are junk. Poor customer support too. Shame on you Seagate!

I ordered several of these drives and they lasted for about a year and a half, then both failed within 2 months of each other. I have had 5 Seagate drives fail in the last year and a half, and the oldest one was a little over 500 days old. Good-bye Seagate...Hello WD.

It's very simple, do not buy these HDDs.I bought mine 2/9/11.. Started hearing the "click of death" roughly 6 months ago.Yesterday, the drive died..Also,These drives do not have the normal Seagate warranty, of 5 years.These only have a 2 year warranty.DO not waste your time or your money with these drives.

I had ordered the unit but I forget why now and decided I did not need it, but the probable cost of sending it back would have been so great since I got such a good deal on the price I gave it to someone else, so far knock on wood I am not aware of any issues, which I am pretty sure I would have heard since I live in the same house.

Okay I used to be a Seagate fanatic since I've used their drives for years and never once had to RMA one. I even got an old 15GB cheetah scsi drive that still works from like 2001! But this drive I don't know where Seagate quality control was when they made this one? I've had this drive a year and I still don't trust it and expect it to fail any day now that's how bad Seagate has fallen in my eyes. I mean it's not just the firmware fiasco it's my firsthand experience with this drive. After a couple of months it started running really slow and I would get these weird pauses playing back video or anything intensive on the drive. Never experienced anything like it before. Well the firmware update seemed to have fixed that. But soon after that I started getting strange noises from the drive so of course I ran seagate diagnostic tools to make sure it wasn't dying but it insisted the drive was good so that left me with no alternative but to complete format the drive and start over. That seems to have gotten rid of the noisy seeking of the drive for a while at least because now it's back! I was going to run seagate tools again but what do you know their software isn't compatible with Windows 7! so it looks like I'll have to find my bootable seagate diagnostic tools disc and see if I have to RMA the drive this time before the warranty runs out on it and before I lose my data! I'm just waiting now to find a reliable 2TB drive now since I also bought a Western Digital 2TB thinking they would be more reliable but no that one actually died already and I had to RMA it so if anyone knows of anyone that makes a reliable drive these days please let the rest of us know!Update: Okay I don't know if it's just a problem with the way this larger Seagate drives seek information on their larger drives but once again I got rid of the loud and random clicking noises by moving some of the data off this drive. It seems once you get near full capacity on this drive it starts to have problems finding data. Unfortunately, Seagate diagnostic tools says there is nothing wrong with drive and Windows can't find any bad sectors on it so it looks like I will have to put up with this noise longer until I get a replacement drive. After searching other websites this drive being noiser than a first-gen raptor drive seems to be common so maybe it's not that strange. What I do know though is that I also have the 1.5TB Seagate external usb/esata version and that one is pretty quiet and has't given me any problems. Also, the 2TB WD drive I have is pretty quiet and doesn't get noisy either. Still like I said I don't trust this drive since in my experience the only time I've ever had a drive get that noisy especially with clicking sounds is right before it died!My recommendation at this time would be to avoid larger capacity drive no matter what company makes them at this time unless you really need one since all the kinks don't seem to be worked out like the drives that have been around for a while.Update2: Okay I guess my instincts were right on and this drive finally died without warning. Did not even last a year. The way it died was most unusual too since I've never seen this happen with any of my harddrives before. It started doing it's noisy clicking and one day I turned on my computer and it was recognized as a ST-Ml3fqbl and not a ST31500341AS anymore. From what I could google this means the heads on the drive went bad :( Anyways, only good thing is that I can now RMA this and hopefully get a better replacement drive.

First of all: It is funny to me when people say that a good hard drive lasts 3-5 years. No, a good hard drive lasts 7-10 years. The fact that so many of these have problems is worrisome, but the the ones that do work are great.I bought one of these from a different etailer and decided to buy another for a low price here on Amazon (price has been jacked up since). I returned it because it failed. It is important to mention how Amazon packages this product. Amazon does a TERRIBLE job packaging these things. It is literally just sitting in a cardboard box. Other places like new egg do a much better job. Amazon also has terrible customer service. I wanted a replacement rather than a refund. My hard ST3500418AS bare drive had a different ASIN number so the customer service lady had a hissy fit about replacing it when I am sure the only difference is the firmware revision. That is a big FAIL on Amazon's part for having employees that know nothing about what they are selling. I opted it buy it from new egg for $5 more. They know their stuff and never gave me any problems. I'm definitely not coming back to Amazon for this type of product for a long time.The product itself worked for a few hours when all of a sudden I heard the hard "accessing" data non-stop. It didn't stop. I left my computer on over night and it still was going in the morning. The hard drive was busy doing something so intense that it took me literally an hour to boot into Windows 7. After running some hard drive diagnostic utilities on the drive, it turns out its built-in test was reallocating bad sectors. By the time I removed the drive from my computer there were 75 bad sectors!!!!! This number was still rising, as the hard drive continues to constantly be reallocating data. Most people RMA with a couple of bad sectors on a new hard drive. My other hard drive in the case that is 3 years old (a SAMSUNG T166) hard drive has 0 bad sectors.In short: Amazon - terrible packaging, worse customer service, sending this back for a refund. Oh yeah, they jacked up the price.Bought this same hard drive again from new egg where I got my first one.

I bought six of these drives in July of 2009, and by December of 2011, three of them have failed. I tried updating the firmware following the instructions from Seagate's website, and they all either updated successfully, or didn't need updating (meaning all three failed drives have up-to-date firmware), and then tried running diagnostic on them again, and all three still failed.I will never buy Seagate again if I could help it. 50% failure rate is just unacceptable. Maybe I had a bad batch, but I have never encountered anything like this in 13 years of building my own computers, and it was very disappointing.

I worked fine for a week, but after that the drive would constantly make noises even if nothing's happening. If you tried to do anything, the drive would freak out and freeze. For example: When I play starcraft, it would all of the sudden start making a lot of noise, and the game would freeze for 10-20 seconds. It pretty much made my computer unusable. So every program you tried to run, it would lag and freeze. Please avoid this product even if it was recommended by tonymacx86 for a hackintosh. I built it perfectly right, but the only problem is the hard drive. It's a real buzz kill.

What else is there to say, it's a 7200 rpm drive that's still going strong 2 years, 7 months later without skipping a beat. It's now the data drive in combination with my new SSD Mushkin 120GB Chronos Deluxe which I couldn't be happier with. But I needed to give this Seagate its due respect for serving me well.I have no clue what I paid for it all these years later, but I don't recall it being all that expensive at the time.

My Seagate Lemon came in a HPE-250f from HP with a Core i7 package. It lasted about a month....just long enough to get all my data & programs loaded into the "Seagate Trap". After the usual 2 hour long back and forth with the HP Rep. from some other world, he agreed to send another drive....which was a Hitachi brand. Now a year later, I'm faced with the same dilema, but this time I was smart enough to have an external HD backup drive.

The version of ST315003 41AS that arrived on my door step had firmware version CC1H which Seagate recommends to leave alone (and I have). To quote the manufacturer: "Note: If your drive has CC firmware, your drive is not affected and no further action is required. Attempting to flash the firmware of a drive with CC firmware will result in rendering your drive inoperable." and "Use our serial number check utility before applying this firmware update." I suggest you follow the recommendations before blindly updating due to the early history of firmware problems.I use the drive as an external back-up drive on my iMac with Time Machine. It gets mounted on a BlacX Thermaltake eSATA + USB 2.0 device when I want to back up my machine. The drive is surprisingly quiet even with no enclosure. The mechanism gets quite warm to the touch if left in the BlackX for hours (there are other posts suggesting mitigations), but for my purposes the drive won't be powered on indefinitely). The packaging was OK. The mechanism itself was packaged a box about an inch larger in each dimension than the drive itself and suspended with a couple of plastic caps (like one of the user-provided pictures). The BlackX was in its own box, and both boxes sat in a larger box which could have contained 3x the stuff with the voids loosely filled with the plastic air bladders. The disk drive was in one corner of the box, the BlackX in the other. There was a definite shaking opportunity. However, the boxes were all blemish-free with no apparent internal damage. I don't use this as an internal drive with an interface that exploits the speed of the drive, so I can't comment on the performance other than it is quiet, reliable (thus far), of a great value, and more than meets my application's expectations.

When I first got this and installed it in my PC case, it made sounds like someone inside was on a typewriter. This started after I got Windows installed -- probably about 20 minutes into the life of the HDD. I interpreted this as the dreaded "click of death" I've read about but thankfully have never experienced. I got an RMA, took it out the of the PC case and to the post office to figure out the cheapest way to return ship it. When I got it back home I realized I hadn't erased it so I quickly hooked it up to another PC to wipe it, just leaving it to lie outside the case. Surprisingly, it was silent. I ran SeaTools and HD Tune Pro on the drive and didn't get any errors. The drive came back perfect.So, I am now thinking what I thought was a bad HDD was probably just the mounting in the case somehow? Anyway, it seems to be fine now. I don't trust it to be an OS drive so I'll probably put it in an enclosure to be used as a media backup drive.I can't say I've ever had this experience with a HDD. I don't really know what to make of it.-- UPDATE 5/26/2011 --This drive is still going strong in another case as a back-up drive. I have had no errors or problems with it. I've since tried other hard drives in the enclosure this drive was in and those drives do not make the same noises. It's still a mystery why this particular drive rattled/vibrated in that case while others do not.

This drive is quite fast (SATA II). I have had good luck with Seagate drives though this one is being used to replace another Seagate drive (only 18 moths old). The old drive did not actually fail... it just got warnings on two different hard drive tests. I think that the old drive may have been the victim of excessive heat. The problem might have been related to the old hard drive not getting a full format by the PC manufacturer (the drive came with a custom built PC). I always do a full format on new drives, thus the fact that this new drive had never been formatted (part of "bare") was not a problem.Have only had the new Seagate 1.5 TB drive for a few weeks but have had no problems with speed or data loss. It has required no maintenance, including defragmenting, and I use the drive for video work (tough on fragmentation); full size/length videos, not just internet publications.I would recommend this drive at this point... will update after I have been using this hard drive for awhile.

Received the all four disks within 5 days using the no cost shipping, very nice. Plugged 4 drives into my TR8M Sans Digtal storage, intialized as as GPT (GUID) type via windows disk manager. Created parity raid 5 partition via San Digital and got a single 4 terabyte partion using windows disk manager to format. No problem with about 4 minutes taken between install and quick format to complete. Windows Vista 32 bits running AHCI, Intel q9450, 2 gigs memory, Gigabye x48-DQ6 with San Digital TR8M eSata external storage.I did read about others having problems with same drive with previous BIOS level. My disks were all the latest version of disk firmware (CC1H) and have no problems using my San Digital RAID 5 setup. I have already loaded up about 2 terabytes of the 4 terabytes available (1 drive for parity) using raid 5 with no problems. Drives just as fast as my older and smaller 7200 RPM drives from seagate in RAID mode. To date the drives are problem free, noiseless and very engery efficient during operation and boot. I monitor the San Digial storage via KillaWatt. No spikes at boot and very low watts (about 20-30 watts) per hour for the 8 drive San Digital box with 4 of 8 drives being the newer 1.5 terabyes type.

I bought this HDD when it was on sale for $45 so it was definitely worth the money. However, even at $66 (what it's going for at the time I'm writing this) I would still recommend buying this drive.I read these reviews before purchasing, so the very first thing I did after I installed the drive was update the firmware. It was a relatively painless process that took only a few minutes and worked great. Just make sure you follow the directions that are posted on the Seagate website. I have another Seagate hard drive installed on the same computer before buying this one, and thought that maybe it would cause problems with the firmware upgrade because it automatically detects your Seagate hard drive and does it all automatically. I didn't want the wrong hard drive to get the upgrade if it wasn't compatible, or ignore the new hard drive, etc.. but there were no problems. It detects which hard drive(s) is/are compatible and upgrades the firmware accordingly.I have had absolutely no problems with this drive since I've had it and considering how easy upgrading the firmware was, I've given this product a five star review. It's pretty fast, very quiet, and has plenty of space. Now only if the SSD's were this affordable...

This device freed up my computer to run faster. I moved all my windows folders to this data drive and in the process emptied about 1/2 the space on the C: drive. This has resulted in much faster performance on my primary drive. This drive holds a lot of data and can be a good backup to your primary drive. Simply backup windows to this drive and if your primary crashes then you can restore the backup. It installed quickly but took almost 4 hours to do a full format on the drive. It is not a fast access drive but is great for saving pictures, documents, and videos. I have also put most of my games on this drive also. When asked where to install the game you simply change the C: in the path to whatever letter is being used for this drive. In my case "C:/program files/GameX/" becomes "E:/program files/GameX/". If your system has the proper amount of RAM then this process will start the games a little slower, but improve overall PC performance.

Pros: Single platter. Indeed quite fast. HD Tach showed 117.6 MB/s average read on one unit, 112.3 MB/s on the other. That's within 3% to 7% of my Spinpoint F3s. Also relatively low vibration, much lower than my F3s. And low seek noise, which I admit does not bother me in general.Cons: Relatively small 8MB cache. Constant high-pitched acoustic whine, noticeable several feet away. Reminds me of what 7,200 RPM HDs sounded like before fluid bearing motors, though not that loud. By comparison, my Spinpoint F3s spin virtually silently, as does my older single-platter Seagate 7200.10, which is still a great drive. You have to put your ear up to them to detect the sound of the platter spinning.Other Thoughts: So, once again, the annoying reality of HD noise: there's acoustic noise and vibration noise, which is potentially much worse, because it can turn your case into a sound (noise) system. My Spinpoint F3s are acoustically silent, but they produce so much vibration and audible case resonance that I have had to place them on low-density foam to isolate it. (Foam weather stripping works nicely.) This is not necessary with these Seagate 7200.12s, in my opinion; loose screws due just fine. However, I don't know yet how to reduce the high-pitched acoustic whine without blocking air flow to the drive. Might just have to live with it, which annoys me a bit. Though not enough to outweigh my generally favorable impression of the drive.

It was time to replace the 500MB Western Digital drive in my desktop, so I decided to try this Seagate 1TB drive. It took nearly 2 hours to format in Windows to NTFS, but I've heard that's typical for Windows and it now runs fast and quiet (so far). Some older Seagate drives have known firmware issues, so Seagate's website allows you to enter the drive's serial number to confirm the firmware and get a firmware bios-flash update if needed. The drive I received was new enough not to need any upgrade. I've only given it 4 stars for reliability due to the fact that I've only used it for a month as of this post. There was no SATA cable or installation CD and the packaging was sparse, but I've ordered "bulk" drives from Amazon before so I knew what to expect and I'm not complaining about it. Good hard drive, good price.

I was undecided between this Seagate Barracuda or a WD Caviar HDD, but after comparing performance specifications and prices, Seagate won.Installation was easy, but 1TB is a LOT of capacity, so you should be patient during error detection scans, disk defrag, and other tasks because they run for a long long time (usually +3hrs).After three months of use, I can say it's a quiet HDD, with no glitches, and smooth running. Its 32MB of cache helps a lot for gaming, watching videos and booting/closing quickly the OS.For its performance, capacity, quality and acceptable price, worth the money. Recommended.

Please ignore the all the bad reviews sighting bad firmware; they fixed all the issues. The packaging is another issue though. My drive seems fine after stress tests and benchmarking/heath probes/tests, so I guess there was no issue with the drive being damaged because of the packaging for me. Just make sure you update your firmware if it isn't already. My drive came with the latest and greatest! The only problem that you could have with this drive is the amount of noise it can make sometimes. This is rare but seems to make an unusual amount of noise when doing a lot of simultaneous reads on different files, but by the same token, I can't even hear it through my case when the drive is maxed out read/write so idk. I shopped around for the cheapest drive and found this one at about [...] tax and shipping free so I jumped. I only wish it had a 64BM cache like some. I would advise against buying a 10000 RMP drive as they are so over priced always. The 1TB size was a perfect complement to my existing 1TB and fits about 837 of my finest movies at standard quality.

After I used it for a week, it crashed. It's code was not one of the firmware codes that needed updating. I lost the receipt so my own fault for not returning or RMAing. It may have overheated cause I got it to work for a while by separating it from the drives in the cage more and putting an external fan on it. That and I'm seeing problems with that SATA port. Not to be too ambiguous, but I don't trust SATA as much as I used to.So possible causes:1) controller bad on the motherboard for that SATA port (seems unlikely, but one of the PS/2 ports went out)2) SATA header for that port is bad. I tried the drive on a different port, but it may have been too late.3) SATA 1/5 with SATA II drive? Not really compatible?4) Seagate sucks (possible)5) Drives too close in the cage, improper airflow, open case. (Heat damage)So now I'm building a new PC with proper design, proper airflow, proper static precautions (no more popping drives out of the bag and handling without a wrist strap), hiqh quality motherboards, best cables I can find. That and buying only 1.2M MTBF drives from WD. No more data loss! Eventually RAID 1 and hot-swapping. I got a UPS too to clean the power in case that is a problem, and my new PC has well-spaced drives, 2 120mm high CFM fans, 5 hd 80mm fans in the middle bulkhead.I don't trust SATA.

In August 2010, my Dell Studio XPS 9100 arrived with two Western Digital drives in a RAID1 configuration. Within several days, they failed; one of the drives became corrupted beyond repair. Dell sent me two idential Western Digital drives as replacements, and customer service directed me through the installation process. By November, these drives failed in the same way. Dell customer service recommended that I use Seagate Barracuda 7200 1 TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drives instead and sent me two as replacements. They have worked very well so far. Very fast, but the two drives in tandem can be heard. Not loud enough to be a nuisance but they are there.Seagate Barracuda 7200 1 TB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s 32MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive ST31000528AS-Bare Drive

I bought this hard drive to replace my main C: drive. Everything went well for about 2 days. Then I started getting automatic checkdisk from windows when I reboot after windows crashed. Finally on one of the auto Checkdisk my windows got corrupted after the automatic repairs. I changed hard drives to a good Samsung hard drive that I was using for backing up my data and put it as my main drive. I needed to reinstall a fresh windows again. Now everything is working great with the Samsung Hard drive. The Seagate I am using as a backup now. I have a software that tells me the condition of the hard drive. It was telling me the raw reading error rate was extremely bad from the start. I thought the software was wrong. Now I see that it was correct. This is a brand new hard drive. I not going to go through the hassle of returning it. It is only good for backup storage if at that.

I bought two of these internal 3.5 hard drives and they arrived quickly and were new just as described. Hard drives are subject to damage due to banging around but these were packaged excellently and they work perfect. I highly recommend this seller to all the Amazon Community.

First, I would like to say that Seagate customer service was very responsive and responded to my RMA request quickly and professionally. I sent in a request and the CS rep contacted me over email and was very courteous. When I explained my problem he told me to send it in for RMA. I shipped my drive in and in about 2 weeks got my replacement drive.The bad news is that the replacement drive seems to have the same problem. I have been trying to install Windows 7 and Steam (a game download service) on this drive. The problems began after installing Win7 and Steam and I started downloading my games. I would get an hour or two into the download and my system would hang. Not an application failure, not a blue screen, it would completely freeze. I've only ever seen that happen with a hard drive failure. On top of that, when the system finally reset itself, the Seagate drive would not be visible to the system BIOS, i.e. the drive was non-responsive. If I did a full shut down and cold start, the drive would come back online.I am quite certain it isn't my system or Win7. I've been using my system with Vista Home 64-bit (installed on a WD drive) for over a year and it's been rock-solid stable. Overnight downloads were no problem, games, Photoshop, etc. no problem. I've installed Win7 on my laptop and it is totally stable.However, once I started using this drive bad things started to happen and just last night I got a warning from Windows that the Seagate drive was failing. This is with my new replacement drive. Whatever the problem is, it is very very intermittent which makes it hard to pin down, but when it happens, it's pretty catastrophic. Total system lockup.I know that if I contact Seagate CS, their service will send me a new drive if I ask for it, but what's the point? I've already had two of these drives in a row get flakey on me including a new replacement drive.I'll probably just accept that I ate $100 on this drive and go get a Western Digital drive to replace it.

Have been using 2 of these drives since late February of this year (2011). So far they work perfectly and are as fast as I presume they should be.However, I haven't used any type of software which independently tests the quality of the drives for flaws, so until one does that one can't be truly sure of their quality. But so far, so good.

I ordered this specific HD 10/20/10 because the status was "buy from Amazon", it was "in stock", it was "eligible for (2 day) Prime", and I needed it soonest. One day into the process (10/21/10, expecting delivery tomorrow, 10/22/10) I received a cute little note saying "We're happy to report you won't have to wait until NOVEMBER 23th (31 days late) for your order because we found we can get it to you by OCTOBER 27th! (5 days late) Aren't we great?" Well, boys and girls, I could have gotten this exact HD from at least six non-amazon vendors at a comparable all-in price in that same time-frame if I hadn't relied on my good, old "SUB-PRIME" membership to get it to me ON TIME. Moral of this story is: Don't believe amazon listings because our dear little buddies WILL bait-and-switch and introduce frustrations, inconveniences, and delays just because they can. To them, apparently, sheer arrogance is its own rich reward.

preforms relatively quickly and the noise level doesnt bother me, considering what i paid for it. my fans usually drown it out anyway and I'm not trying to run a library or anything. solid product and a good value.

Sad to say, and enough similar reviews that I'll keep this short. 2 - 1TB drives in a RAID setup and the Seagate I purchased 11/1/2010. It failed today 5/20/2011. Ouch.

4 stars since 5 are reserved for latest SSD.This is good standard HDD. I am using it for internal backup.So now I have a storage place for all the work files (16Gb +) each. I is too early to say, if it is reliable storage place, but I surly do hope so. One thing I noticed is that it takes some time to start this drive. However it is probably related to operating system settings rather than to the drive it self.In all - very good drive so far, good speed and price.And I still can't believe it is 1TB. ( I still remember craving 10MB HDD's just "few" years back).

I needed a big hard drive to store my videos, music, and programs. The barracuda is a great hard drive for a couple of reason.1. The noise level is basically none existent, my mini fridge makes more noise than the two 1.5 barracuda hard drives i got.2. read and write speeds are great, programs run flawlessly and there is no lag in videos. I did notice some minor lag when it came to video games that i did not experience on smaller hard drives.3. Packaging was incredibly sturdy with no wiggle room. It was surrounded by air packets so it was cushioned on all sides.I highly recommend this product for people who need a lot of space.

I bought the same hard drive a little over a year ago from Best Buy for $70 and it came with cables, a CD for installation and was in a nice secured box. When I got my product from Amazon it was just in a normal brown box in an anti-static bag. Now, how do I know this isn't used Amazon? Anyways, I am installing my Windows 7 now and I am going to check the drive for errors. If I have any problems I am definitely sending this back.On another note, the old drive I bought is failing now, so I decided to get a new one. Didn't know this was the same exact drive until I got it today. Hopefully it will last longer than the other.I would suggest packing hard drives better or put them in the boxes the distributors give you. I would have liked to have the CD.I haven't had any major issues with Amazon, so I will deal with it.

I ordered this package on the 7th of April and paid $9.71 and I didn't see the package until April 14th. I worked at the post office and for that money it should of been sent priority mail. I will remember that kind of service and will not buy from them again.

I purchased the 1.5 TB 7200RPM (ST31500341AS) drive fourteen months ago. It's installed in a dual fw800 enclosure with a WD drive (WD15EARS). I have the enclosure connected to a system running OS X (10.6). It's been running 24/7 for over a year without any problems.

I have used this hard drive for a few months now, and I can't really say anything bad about the drive itself. However, while researching this product, I did not come across any explicit warning recommending it not be used in a hot-swap dock. Performance is fine considering I have not used straight SATA or eSATA to a computer - only SATA-to-USB dock. Noise is average for a high-speed drive. The killer for my application (open USB dock) is the HEAT. I could grill on this thing after five minutes of just having the drive powered on. It doesn't even have to be working hard to start cooking.I highly recommend only using this drive in a performance high-airflow desktop or a powerful fan external enclosure. My WD Caviar BLACK drive in the same dock never gets hot in open air no matter how hard it is working. I'm not going to give this drive a bad rating, but if anyone is considering buying it, be sure you have the proper setup to support it without risking overheating.

The product is what it is, the description speaks for itself.The delivery was fast, and the packaging good.The size, format, brand and technical specs are somewhat good compared to the average.However, I would have rather not had any SMART errors appearing in the first week of usage, and most definitely, I would have rather not have seen them increasing at a steady rate since then.Since the disc is being used on a RAID configuration, I can afford the uncertainty over the hassle of returning the item from my location, and having to deal with postage.Nevertheless, I would have expected better, wouldn't I?

I just installed this HD a few days ago as a mass storage drive. My OS is installed on a different HD. I really haven't heard any noise out of this drive whatsoever, so I'm not sure what other reviewers are experiencing -- maybe older drives of this same model were built differently. I personally have no complaints!
