Well, I went into this purchase with my eyes wide open, having read several reviews here and elsewhere with purchasers recounting problems with this particular drive stalling, almost always associated with RAID arrays.Those reviews also included several more technically minded people who had tracked down a firmware update (mine took version SD1A) for the drive that apparently resolves most or all of the problems others have had.I downloaded the firmware before the drive arrived.Then, when the drive was delivered, I read the firmware version printed on the label on the drive, noticing that it was indeed one of the revisions that had the bug mentioned above.I installed the drive, turned on the computer, then - before the bootup started - changed my BIOS settings to set the SATA controller to IDE mode, disabling all other hard drives, then set it to boot to floppy.I then inserted a bootable floppy with the firmware updater on it, rebooted, then waited for my system to boot to the floppy.Then, I executed the required command from the command line to start the firmware update, then waited for approximately one minute for it to complete, which it did, indicating no problems.I ejected the floppy, rebooted, reset the BIOS settings to recognize all drives again, exited the BIOS, then allowed the system to boot normally.I partitioned the new drive under Linux at its full size, made the files ystem (it should come as no surprise that a 1.5TB drive would take some time making the file system that big!), then migrated my data over from my existing 500GB Maxtor drive.Well, there has not been even a hint of trouble after what has now been nearly a month of intensive usage, having moved well above the drive's full capacity worth of data.This huge drive appears to be speedy and reliable after all.If I really thought I needed more than the 2+TB worth of space I now have, I would not hesitate to buy another.Who knows, my small drive (200GB) is about five years old, and it may give up the ghost, in which case I will grab another Seagate 1.5TB, although there will probably be a drive of 2TB or larger by that time.

This hard drive has been great from the day I got it. I'm using it is an HP Mediasmart Server and I've had no issues at all. The drive is plenty quiet and noticeably faster than my 5200 RPM drive. Great hard drive and I'll buy another when they are on sale again.

I've recently become concerned about Seagate hard disk reliability and build qualityA 1TB model failed in less than 1 yearthe drive started having booting issues and then made horriblemetal on metal sounds, and would start.. (head crash)A Win7 upgrade went poorly using this 1.5T drive, \file system was corrupted some how, and check disk wouldn't complete.also reviews at newegg and other online sites confirmed similar reliability issues by other seagate custmersa recent purchase of HP business desktops,revealed a warning about SeaGate firmwareneeding an update.or drives would unexpectedly fail to boot.i was forced to reformat the drive for safety and do a fresh Win7 installand reinstall all my apps; 2 days of unnecessary work.i purchased WD 2.0 Terrabyte as my primary drive, and forced the SeaGate to service as atemporary backup drive. i have USB/Firewire MyBook drives as primary backup systems.overall, I was quite fond of SeaGate until i experienced these problemsI'm going to move to WD as my primary hard drive, and wouldn't recommend using thisdrive as a primary boot device until some evidence of improvement occurs...

The drive is nice at 1.5 TB The things screams. I also was able to adapt the SATA drive to meet my PATA needs. I have two MAC OWC external housing units and they are PATA/IDE. The problem is i can only use 1 SATA drive since I cannot have Master and Slave.

The drive has been working fine for three weeks straight. I haven't installed it and am using it as an external USB drive. It's much slower as a USB drive so I can't comment on the SATA speeds yet.

What everyone wants in a hard drive. A big 1 TB drive, a fast 7200 RPM's, and less than $69. You can't beat this.

I bought two of these to install in a RAID configuration. When I loaded Windows XP, the OS didn't recognize the array and the software packaged with the drives wouldn't run because it said there wasn't a seagate or maxtor drive installed in my system. I bought the extra software from Acronis, but it still didn't recognize the new array. One of the drives in the old array (the maxtor) failed while I was using the Acronis software to copy an image to my external backup array. Finally, I was able to get the new array to work by using the utilities from a Western Digital drive (the one that survived the backup operation) that I installed two years ago. I'm going to buy western digital drives exclusively from now on.

When I purchased the 500GB hardrive it already had the latest firmware. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. The drive is as fast as you would expect and doesnt make any clicking noises. Great buy!

Pros: cheap ($39), free shipping, faster than the HDD it replaced in my HP Slimline (Seagate drive).Cons: it's noisy. I have worked with HDDs for 25 years, and I know a noisy drive. Packaging is rather weak. I'll keep the drive, though, since it is used in my backup PC, and I have already reloaded 95 percent of my apps.Next time I'll spend a little more and get a Western Digital Caviar.

It seems that a lot of people have problems with this drive, but I have had none. I picked up a Hitachi at Fry's and the sales guy told me Seagate was more reliable. They were the same price so I took his word (I always bought Samsung drives when I lived in Korea but Frys doesn't carry Samsung). I believe that was about 7 months ago. I have had no problems.About my usage:The drive is installed in a computer which I built. It is a secondary drive used to back up my Ubuntu files (about 200GB worth) twice a week and to store older files that I no longer use. Windows 7 also uses the drive as backup whenever I log in to that, but it's not often. I have partitioned and repartitioned it maybe 5 times. I was running Fedora 11 from the drive for a few months but have since uninstalled it. I defrag the NTFS partition once a month or less.UPDATE: 2 years later. Still works fine.

This drive is impressive. It runs silently. The only thing you should know is that it does't come with a power connector or SATA cable. By the way I'm using this drive on a Windows 7 system.

Be very careful if you buy Seagate drives and want warranty service. I bought a retail drive from a retail store 2.5 years ago because I wanted the 5 year warranty just in case something goes wrong. My drive died last week. I contacted Seagate for warranty service and the CSR told me the drive was an OEM drive and did not have a warranty from Seagate.I actually have the retail box that it came in, with the serial number of the drive printed on the outside of the box. He would not honor the warranty and basically said it could be forged by the retailer. He did not know this box to be legit because I didn't buy it from Seagate directly.I have never had a problem obtaining warranty service on Western Digital retail drives.Check your drive's serial number on the box (if you buy retail) before you open the packaging on the company's website to make sure the warranty is good. Who knows...some retailer just might put an OEM drive into a forged box and sell it as a retail product.UNBELIEVABLE!!!

The price per meg on this unit is the lowest I've seen and I've always had good luck with Seagate drives in the past, so I picked up this drive over the weekend.Installation: I had two smaller IDE drives and wanted to partition the new drive as C: and D:, then image the existing drives to the new partitions. Disc Wizard initially let me set up the primary and extended partitions, then nuked the extended partition and set the primary to take the entire drive. When I wiped the drive and attempted to recreate my intended setup, I got a BSOD. On reboot, C: was 1GB and D: (500GB) was nowhere to be seen. I once again nuked the drive and let Disc Wizard do what it pleased, which was not what I wanted. The drive came up and I imaged my old IDE master to it, then copied my old IDE slave manually.Performance: inconsistent. Sometimes it's blazing fast, sometimes... not so much. Note that this is in regular use (open apps, creating files, etc), not copying between disks.Reliability: absolutely horrible. Disc Wizard will no longer run, hanging on bad sectors. The sectors themselves report to the OS in negative numbers (e.g. -1,372,010). CHKDSK reports 375GB worth of bad sectors. SeaTools (Seagate's diags) report the drive failed on SMART, the long self test, the generic short test, and the generic long test (but passed the short self test, go figure). Active Hard Drive Monitor reports the drive's fitness at 56% and falling.Warranty: Seagate says the drive is in warranty and gave me an RMA. I have to pay for shipping and their packing instructions are extremely (I might say needlessly) specific. If the replacement drive proves good, fine, but Seagate has an extremely bad reputation for quality of late so I'm not holding my breath.Summary: Not worth the price. This drive is simply not up to any reasonable standard of quality.

OMG! You gotta be kidding about the "Frustration-Free Packaging" phrase. You guys really crossed the line this time.The HDD was shipped inside a simple cardboard box without any protection to avoid receiving hits or bounces inside the box along transportation. It was surely jumping or rubbing inside the box, since the antistatic bag containing the HDD was partially broken where the connection pins are located (the more delicated parts).Hopefully after the beating received the HDD will have an average life.Problem is, since this was an international order, the fact of returning the device to USA in the current condition would just rise the costs already brought to me so far.Thank you for putting such a low effort in protecting a delicate electronic device like this along the shipping.The shopping experience this time was extremely disappointing!!!

Im satisfied with the purchase of this HDD. A SATA 3Gb/s Hard Disk with 1.5 TB (1500 GIGABYTES), 32 MB CACHE, 7200 RPM WAOO!! (I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I PURCHASED IT FOR 100 DOLLARS). I have read some reviews that said it's the best HDD of 1.5TB in the market. Will cost me a lot to fill it!

this is actually the first SATA drive I've ever owned, and I really noticed the speed improvement! I have two of these running great in my HTPC at home. Wanted to have a raid setup, but that never worked out for me. Probably not the drive's fault though. The drives are pretty quiet which is nice since I don't want to hear a drive grinding away in my living room all the time.

Update: I wrote this review before a firmware update was made available and my comments reflect the situation at the time. When the updates were made available, I flashed my 5 drives and they've been working fine ever since. I'd change the rating to a 4 star if the editor allowed.I and many others have been experiencing serious problems with these drives including:* dropping out of RAID configurations for no apparent reason* being ejected from a RAID configuration due to read / write errors* freezing for up to 30 secondsThese problems have been reported on Linux, Vista, XP, and OS X and appear to be related to how the drives flush their write cache. In many cases, the drives work fine for days or weeks before problems appear. In my case, I bought five of these for my Qnap TS-509 Pro and they worked great for about two weeks under various read / write loads. Since then, I've had all three of the problems mentioned above on different drives and they are growing progressively worse. The latest problem was three of the five drives disappearing from the RAID5 volume while I was attempting to copy the files to a different NAS.A work-around that has been successful for some is to disable the disk write cache. Other than the obvious performance penalty and reduced lifespan this causes, some systems do not provide a means of disabling disk write cache (such as the Qnap).References to these problems can be found on many forum threads:Qnap: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=142&t=8826Netgear: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=20435&start=60&st=0&sk=t&sd=aSynology: http://www.synology.com/enu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&p=47101AVSForum: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1080005macrumors: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=571843Ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=933053Slashdot: http://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1003109&cid=25458241Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B00066IJPQ/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?_encoding=UTF8&showViewpoints=1The most informative thread may be found on Seagate's own support forum, where it appears Seagate is blaming everyone but themselves for the problem:http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/message?board.id=ata_drives&thread.id=2390&view=by_date_ascending&page=1
