Update Review on September 22, 2009 **** 4 Stars===================================================At the beginning of this year, I wrote a scathing review of this product after numerous problems. To summarize, Seagate had a total mess on their hands with 3 different hardware revisions and over a dozen firmwares out in the span of a couple months. There were massive problems, and Seagate tech support was completely overwhelmed. I had problems of drives freezing, terrible noises on start up, reallocated sectors, and the "click of death".Fast forward. I have had the latest hardware revision -302 with firmware CC1H on 3 drives for about 8 months. These have had NO problems. I just purchased my 4th of these drives from Amazon a couple days ago, and I can confirm they are still -302 hardware and CC1H firmware. This latest one was very well packed by Amazon in a "manufacturer-type" drive box. No issues with the current packaging (although some in the past from Amazon were questionable). A full surface scan came up with no errors. I have added a customer image of my oldest drive. It is important to realize that the massive complaints of problems and failures could be with the earlier hardware revisions and firmware.I can't give this product 5 stars due to the past problems, and because there are no guarantees the ones I have won't fail before the warranty is up. (The new 2TB green drives are now having massive failures/problems.) Of the 3 I have, only 1 has "normal" hours on it, as the other 2 were backup only. I have had other drives fail in the past couple years including a WDC Raptor, a WDC laptop drive, and a Deskstar, so I believe this last version is no worse than others out there.One thing to recognize with modern drives is that they are no way as reliable as their MTBF reliability specs indicate. Hard drives are dirt cheap these days and drive manufacturers are hurting. Solid state drives will only hurt them more. I now look at drives as disposable, and keep several backups. This drive finally looks stable and has a very low cost per GB along with enough capacity to last you several more years.Previous Review====================================================================There is a fair amount of misinformation in various reviews. First, these are 4-platter drives. Next, they are part of the Seagate 7200.11 series. Both this drive and the 1TB have serious issues. Seagate support is completely overwhelmed. If you do not know about these, just surf forums dot seagate dot com for literally hundreds of pages of problems.I had purchased two of these after reading that firmware bugs had been finally worked out with SD1A. To give you an idea, Seagate has gone though something like SD13, SD14, SD15, SD17, SD19, SD35, SD37, and SD1A. The only problem is that while the model number of this product is ST31500341AS, the part number is 9JU138-XXX, and SD1A only works on 9JU138-300 drives. I received one 9JU138-301 and one 9JU138-302 which are apparently, incompatible, different hardware revisions. These latter drives use firmware revisions including CC1F, CC1G, CC1H, and CC1J where people are experiencing similar and different problems. There is such a mess of problems with these drives that Seagate support can't even keep up.To make a long story short, one of my drives makes a terrible buzzing sound on power-up which has been reported by others. Otherwise, it worked seemingly OK for a week or so. Now, I get random read/write stalls, and I get the now-famous "click of death" where the drive makes loud clicking sounds and crashes the system. Drive SMART reports no errors, but that's B.S. I bought these for backup drives, yet I cannot trust them, so what's the point? I am waiting for Seagate to respond to my inquiries (email and support form) before I return them.Based on the stories I had read in late December, I thought these drives were out-of-the-woods, so to speak, but they are not.Update: Still no response from Seagate on my 2 inquiries. Now the drive is reporting (bad) reallocated sectors. Time for a different brand. Scary amount of problems with less than 100 hours on the drive.Update: Another week and no response from Seagate. There were some rumors on their forums that their email server crashed, and that's why they weren't responding. Hello? They're a drive company. Don't they have a backup? Maybe the server used these new Seagate drives ;) FWIW, Seagate SD1A is not "out of the woods". There is now SD1B. Seagate claims that there is no need to update CC or LC firmware, but I and the forums say otherwise. There is no upgraded firmware *available* if you have a -301 or -302 drive. They are still fixing the -300 drives.Update: Finally got a response from Seagate after 3 weeks! Seems what they do is not really assist you but add your email to a mailing list which directs you to their support website for updates. My CC1H is behaving OK, but not my CC1G. According

after much research looking for reliability (via reviews), speed and size i purchased this harddrive.firstly i have to say that in general i love shopping on Amazon however,i am disgusted w/the repackaging of these and many harddrives as a way to be "MORE GREEN" for our environment.i received 2 orders the same day and one was a pair of wool socks.the single pair of socks were in a box that could hold 6 of these harddrives and it had those plastic bladders to cushion them.the harddrive was in a box just big enough to hold the drive and 2 hard plastic corners so there was no shock absorption at all,unlike the socks in the other box.the harddrive was in a WD (Western Digital) box that looked like it was an inner box to another box w/ pictures of a WD product.i had to laugh at how absurd this all was.like i care if my socks had a cushioned ride to mewhen a harddrive can really have a shortened life span by being shipped this way and jarred around.anyways i put the hard drive in a new enclosure and it fired up. i formatted it and started using it.it failed in 10 or so hours prompting me to, "back up the data on it and reformat" it.funny considering you can't back up what you can't access!so i reformatted it and it worked for close to 2 hrs till it wouldn't even spin up as it just shut down.so i installed it into another enclosure and it ran for about an hour then failed again.so i bought another enclosure from a different manufacturer and installed it and reformatted it after wiping the drive it worked for a few hours.i then called Seagate and the tech support guy i spoke w/ was gloating at the fact that he didn't have to help me because i was,"Using the drive in a manner inconsistent to it's design."he said that because i was using it as an "external drive" and it was an "internal drive" i was therefore voiding my warranty and he would not help me.the guy was MORE than happy to be able to tell me this as if he was a venting disgruntled employee.so i returned the drive.i miss Maxtor before they were absorbed by Seagate!my old standby backup drive is a 500gig Maxtor one touch in a ugly plastic box that i bought at Staples on sale for like $90 6 years ago. It clicks and has for 5 or so years now like it's on it's way out.when it actually does die i will miss it.i have only powered it down like 7 times in 6 years.

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.

I don't normally submit reviews on products simply to rip the delivery or customer service etc, but am making an exception here just to warn potential buyers of the Seagate Barracuda 1.5 TB 7200 rpm bare drives sold/packaged by Electronica Direct.I already own one of these drives and it has been spinning away happily for the last year and a half or so. I purchased it from another (ahem - OWC) company so wanted to buy an exact duplicate and decided to buy it here on amazon b/c of my amazon prime membership.The drive arrived today, in a box roughly the size of a double decker shoe box. The only "protection" was a layer of the tube style bubble wrap. So this drive clattered around the country in the bottom of a gi-normous box with marginal protection. I haven't even opened the anti-static wrapper--it is going straight back to amazon and/or the reseller "Electronica Direct".FWIW, my other Seagate drive has never blinked and is very quiet, especially considering it sits in one of those "toaster" type HD docks made by voyager Q. So if you can get ahold of one of the Seagate Barracuda drives that hasn't been drop-kicked across the country, your data is as safe as can be expected from a mechanical drive.Based on the performance of the other drive I would rate this Seagate product as a 5 star. But to get potential buyers attention, overall I'm flagging it as 2 star and noting the packaging as a 1 star. Sorry to skew the overall product rating.

The product is excellent. Virtually noiseless, speedy and big capacity. Firmware was not the latest and I read some reviews about Seagate issuing firmware updates on this model and others of the same series. The disk is SAS (Serially Attached SCSI), not native SATA. The new firmware available from Seagate (CC46) was flashed flawlessly on the disk, but due to the differences between SATA and SAS interfaces SeaTools and the Model Identification tool from Seagate were not able to read the serial number from the disk after flashing from the CC38 version that came from Amazon to the latest issued version CC46 from Seagate. It did make the disk quieter and also stopped some blue screen problems in Windows 7 that I had with the disk as delivered when I bought it. However these problems were driver related, not due to the firmware contained in the drive at the time of purchase. Highly recommended for anyone seeking fast and light storage for the current PCs. 500GB should be enough for everyone, and these black drives (ST 350041 8AS) are just perfect for the performance hungry power user as well as the multimedia oriented HTPC builder nowadays. If using under Linux don't forget to enable High DMA and MSI on your disk controller driver if using Linux 64-bit as well as always turning software NCQ off (with kernel command line parameters in grub's menu.lst or in the lilo.cfg file) so that the disk's hardware and your disk controller perform all the heavy lifting during data transfer therefore leaving the valuable CPU cycles available to the rest of the system. CPU usage should not be more than 7%~12% on single core machines or negligible (<3%) on current multicore processors.RAID reliability and compatibility may vary depending on your BIOS/controller but firmware CC38 (the one I got purchasing in November 2010) and later have no problems at all on a rather old Phoenix 6.x BIOS on my BIOSTAR AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2GHz motherboard.

My drive went out within warranty and i had to talk to a manager just to get them to agree to replace it cus i got it on here and not directly through them, then they wanna send me a refurbished drive and i say no, i bough t a new one and it broke i want another new one, cus thats what i paid for.. they say yes then no then yes then no it was so rediculous very long story short took them about 4 months for me to receive the replacement they promised me.. totally ridiculous and they tried to get out of it a few times too.. It would take a few pages for me to tell you how bad my experience was and exactly why.. I will never buy Seagate again because if something does go wrong they don't want to help even after they say they will they just tried to jerk me around until I give up, and i didnt but it did cost me four months of not having a backup hard drive when i needed one and hours on the phone with them... Absolutely Terrible Service!!!

I own several Seagate drives, from 7200.9 through the latest 7200.12, in 40GB to 1TB sizes (the 7200.12 is 1TB). I recently swapped out one of my HTPC 160GB drives for the 1TB Barracuda (just for capacity, not because it failed). The drive is dedicated to my HTPC's DVR/PVR app (SnapStream's BeyondTV) which I use on a daily basis.Why am I telling you all this? Because my HTPC records and plays multiple (and often simultaneous) high-definition feeds (yep, all the way up to 1080i) onto or from this 1TB Barracuda, and it has never failed (nor, for that matter, have any of my previous Seagate drives used for the same purpose).So it's fast enough to keep up with 3 simultaneous HD streams (2 recording, 1 playback), and super quiet. Well I do hear it spin up from dormant mode, but after that I can't hear it (the motherboard fan in my chassis is louder! I temporarily shut down the fan and couldn't hear the 1TB drive!).The drive has been running day in day out for about 3 months now, and based on this and my experience with the other drives, it seems it's got a long ways to go!

1TB and 7200 rpm with a 32mb cache was the specs i was looking for. it came down to this and hitachi but i chose this because it was such a great deal on Amazon. older reviews are becoming less and less relevant because of firmware updates and i like how Amazon ships OEM bare drives. it comes in a bigger and longer box that is filled with "air paks" and under all the packaging there is a smaller box where you drive in securely located.go with amazon they do their very best for customer satisfaction. their email response is quick and will do what u want. THEY give u a $5 credit offer for future purchases.I've heard about the bad packaging but i decided to go ahead and try it out myself so i ordered this hard drive and i dont know if im just lucky or if amazon is really paying attention to their packaging because i recieved it yesterday and it was nicely packaged inside a Western Digital box kind of weird considering the HD is by Seagate but anyhow it was tightly secured in the middle of the box with 2 black plastics so it wouldnt bounce around. I bought this for my desktop because my old HD died so i inserted it and installed Windows 7 and its been working perfectly fine. I will try to keep you guys updated on how this HD works out in the future.

I needed to expand a Linux/Ubuntu installation I have for my small business and this came across as being the right size drive for the right price. Unlike other reviewers, my drive arrived from Amazon well-packed in a properly-sized box, so, no complaints at all about the shipping. No complaints either about the drive. I'm using it in an old PC that has IDE interfaces. For the IDE to SATA conversion, I picked up a "SATA Serial ATA Hard Drive/CD/DVD-ROM to PATA/IDE Interface Convert Adapter" by HDE as part of the same Amazon order. Nice pairing. The drive has been up and running for about 5-6 weeks now and all seems well. db

The drive works fine. Other Seagates I used in the past were quite reliable. I hope this one is too. The software for cloning an existing drive is unnecessarily confusing. I would have liked a simple one-click option rather than a bunch of questions that I don't know how to answer. Much noisier than the Western Digital drives I have been using lately. The noise is annoying and I will probably go back to using WD drives in the future.

NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:I've watched the issue with these drives carefully for about 2 months. It looks like Seagate solved the problem and that a vocal few were ever really affected. By few I mean relative to the thousands sold. And I am not defending Seagate. This whole fiasco was unacceptable.MY SYSTEM:I picked up 8 of these drives. I'm running them in 4 separate DLink DNS-321 RAID boxes. I've copied about 4TB of data back and forth across them for days. My only firmware update needed was for the DLink so that it could properly handle the new 1.5TB drives.In the end I believe all is well with both the drives and the DLink DNS-321. I will of course update this review immediately if I see any problems.PERFORMANCE:We are able to watch movies from this drive arrangement on 3 computers simultaneously across a 100mb network from the same drive while adding new files to the drive from a 4th computer.This means I can be adding movies unattended to the system while watching an Epic Man movie on the plasma in the living room... while the kids are watching Monsters Inc in the bedroom... and the wife is off watching some chic flick in the Den. :)The combination of DLink and these 1.5TB drives is fantastic and seems as stable as the WD 1TBs I was using previously.PROPER DIAGNOSIS:Don't confuse your drive DIEING after a week with the previous firmware problems of this particular drive. Blame the vendor that shipped the drive like it could bounce !ON A SIDE NOTE:I will say I am sick of Amazon, Tiger and other vendors shipping hard drives like they are indestructible ROCKS. Even if they arrive working, this inadequate packaging is certainly taking years off the life of our drives. One of my 8 arrived DEAD as a brick thanks to this nonsense. I am furious about this issue !Will it take a class action to stop this behavior of guaranteeing future drive sales by damaging todays drives through deliberate mishandling of our purchases ?! Wake up AMAZON ! Wake up TIGER !UPDATE: Dec 14 2009One year later, I own 22 of these drives now. 12 are running daily in DNS-321 Raid boxes. The other 10 are used as back up drives in a drop in SATA adapter. No failures since 2 in the first few weeks, I believe due to poor packaging. About 6 of my drives came with the BAD firmware. I never had issues with that either. Call me blessed. I just think the DNS-321 and these drives work very well together.UPDATE: Jan 8 2011Another year passes and most of my 1.5TBs have all been pulled from DNS-321 RAID boxes and used as loose backup drives in a drop in SATA adapter. I've replaced them with the larger Seagate 2TB drives for larger capacity. NO FAILURES OF EITHER DRIVE 1.5TB or 2TB ! I have a couple Hitachi's and WD 2TBs. The Seagate drives are quieter and come off sleep in my RAID boxes faster than the other brands. All are used for video streaming over a network and do a fantastic job.TIGER has been shipping drives MUCH BETTER. Amazon packagers have sent me drives packed poorly just 2 months ago. I requested replacements and Amazon handled the no charge exchange well. But they should NOT have been shipped that way.

I've had this since January 11, 2011 and I've had no problems with it. I've read about firmware problems, but I think they were resolved before I bought mine. I'd definitely recommend this.

nothing much to say about it really, except, it performs as well as you would expect of this type of drive, has good performance, excellent for the price.

The product arrived new but it was not in the original packaging, for some reason it came in a western digital box, however it was not banged up and was in good shape. This hard drive works great in a RAID configuration. Had it now for a month and no weird noises and great performance. No problems running it on Windows 7.

My hard drive had a bad sector and began to act up. I found this Seagate with simlar specs and five minutes after it arrived I was reinstalling the software. It's very quiet and seems to run cooler than the Western Digital I pulled from the case. So far it's running great. At this price how can you go wrong.

This product boosted my Windows Experience by 1 full point, meaning I can play any game published for the PC with no effort. It is faster and actually cheaper than the older 5200 rpm drive it replaced. The cache is great , it is fast and really quiet, my graphics card and cpu fans are much louder.Thanks Amazon, good product, good price, delivered within two days. And at a price that beat NewEgg.

This hard drive operates without any problems. Go to the Seagate website and follow the instructions. Great price! Very reliable! Now I am using my new seagate hard drive. My old hard drive is my back up.

The hard drive does not include cables or mounting screws. Hello? It seems kind of clueless to me to sell this without everything you need to install it.

Started clicking right after Amazon's return period ended. Won't ever buy a Seagate HD if I can help it. 1.5 months to failure - after VERY limited use.

As the title of the review says, this is an excellent product at an excellent price. By "this" I mean the 1TB Seagate model "ST31000528AS-Bare Drive" which I bought here about two weeks ago for $70 and free shipping.Amazon lumps the reviews of all Seagate hard drives together. If there are differences in the quality and reliability of various models, it's hard to tell from reviews and the averaged ratings. I don't like this policy but there's not much I can do about it.Several of the reviews here complain about reliability of certain other models of Seagate drives. As you read those, beware that they may be irrelevant to the specific model that you are about to purchase.As I said, the model ST31000528AS works perfectly. It is fast, noiseless, and a steal at the offered price.

I purchased a ST31000528AS 1TB Seagate hard drive and the drive had poor packing inside the box. The drive was just sliding around in the box. Naturally 12 days from receiving the drive from Amazon the drive has to be RMA to Seagate. The drive would lockup in Vista, I would reset the computer and receive no hard drive detected. I had to Power down the computer wait 30 seconds then power back on to get the drive to detect. Ran Seatools diagnostic software from Seagate and the drive failed both Short and Long DST tests. with error code A4E7EA58. I will not purchase another hard drive from Amazon.

I use these drives as they were intended, for large scale storage. I'm not running them as boot drives, I'm not running them in crazy RAID configurations, and I'm not running them in a poorly ventilated enclosure. I have 7 of these drives now and I have had zero issues with them over the last 5+ months. I opperate two in external enclosures that house my lossless music collection.One of these external drives is at work with me and running 8hrs a day 5 days a week for 5 months. No issues and I've done many full 1.2tb writes to this drive to update my music collection.The other drives are used in my home theater pc (Silverstone LC-16) to house my entire DVD collection. Once again, zero issues for several months.TAKE NOTE. All hard drives can fail. No one brand is any better than any other brand for failures, so don't fall for people crying wolf. I've been working with computers for 20+ years and have had 100's of hard drives in that time. I have had dead drives from Western Digital, Seagate, Samsung, Micropolis, Hitachi, Maxtor, IBM, and a few others. With the exception of IBM's Deathstar line of hard drives, I've had the same luck with all of these brands.Every so often, I have a drive die. But I don't hold it against any of the manufacturers just because I know this is just the luck of the draw. In the last 12mos I've had drives from Samsung, Western Digital, and Hitachi die on me. But, that never caused an issue, aside from annoyance, because I backup all my important data. Heck, my music collection is cloned on 3 drives just to be safe!Update April 2010:I now have 8 of these drives and have not had a single one die on me. Some of them get some pretty heavy use as swap drives where I back up my 1.3tb music collection to them and then use that drive to copy over to my various HTPC's throughout the house. I love the speed of these drives and they are reasonably quiet, but not enough to use in the HTPC in my bedroom which is only 5' from my head. In those cases, a slower green drive would work best. So far I have about 15 of these 1.5tb drives, some in my CarPC, external cases, HTPC's, and my main system. The only drives that have died on me were a Seagate LP 5900rpm model (it was in an external case) and 2 Western Digital green drives. As with all hard drives, no one brand is any better than any other. Anyone that says so generally is not a hardware techy with sufficient sample size to make any useful observations. Take it from me, I have over 25tb of storage space and every brand has died on me at least once, hence the need to diligently backup your stuff (just like I do)...

Overall, it seems to be a decent drive. It should be noted that you just get the drive-no cables or set up software. In my case, I bought one to put into a drive enclosure, so this was not a problem.

I purchased three of these drives to expand the internal storage in my heavily upgraded PowerMac video editing system. The drives perform as advertised, but I failed to check the peak current draw at start-up which exceeded the available current in my 1KW power supply. The peak start-up current is about 45% higher on this particular model, all other specs are the same or very close to the other 1TB drives I own. My solution to the problem was to move two of the drives out to an external drive enclosure.Overall, a very good value with good performance.

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

What's to know? Seagate is a great brand. The product is a lot of fast storage that's relatively affordable per Gig of space. It's huge!It does arrive unformatted, so set aside a day just to let the formatting complete. Also, I used the Seagate Drive Wizard (download from their website) to clone my 400 GB HD to this 1.5TB drive and before swapping them. Worked perfectly after SeaGate tech support showed me how to get the software to recognize the external USB docking station (Thermaltake BlacX (another fine prodduct)) for the clone. The drive is fast, quite, reliable and huge. Everything a Hard Drive should be.
