If all you want is one free-standing drive, this is great. But it does NOT play well with any RAID formations. After 2 months of trying, including sending one drive back to Seagate and getting a replacement, it still would not work in a basic RAID 1 (on Win 7 machine with Intel Rapid Storage Technology). Worked for a while, but after the machine went to sleep 2-3 times, it went into a death-spire, spinning down every 30 seconds, making me wait while it spun back up for every single disk access. I finally gave up in disgust--Seagate was NO HELP. They claim it's a problem with the RAID formation; I have a second RAID formation on same machine and it works flawlessly. The Baracudas have been worthless. I had to spring for a second pair of 1 TB drives from another manufacturer, and stick this pair in a drawer.

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 bought 2 of these drives and put them in a raid 0 to store some semi-important media for light use. It has been less that 2 years and 1 of them has already failed. Seagate offers a 1 year warranty for a reason. I have always been a fan of Seagate, but now I don't know who is reliable.

Nothing wrong with it, it just didn't fit my older CPU and had to be returned. Seagate makes good drives so if it is compatible with your hardware no reason to pass it up. I gave it a 3 since the description didn't cover the compatibility.

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 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.

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.

A terrible drive if you plan to use it for more than a year. I have had at least 10 clients in the past month lose these drives. Even the replacement drives have had numerous failures. Fortunately, most clients were have their drives image daily. Most of the failures were sudden and dire enough that no data was retrievable.

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.

This was purchased as an exact replacement for a drive that had begun to show errors after 3 years of almost constant use. Reasonable cost, fast delivery, upon delivery it checked out as free of problems, accepted the huge backup image with no problems, and has performed with no problems since the swap almost a month ago.

As usual another good purchase from Amazon. Got this Seagate Barracuda 500gb disk drive two weeks ago. Some years ago I was introdueced to Seagate drives and that worked perfectly until I recycled that PC. My gaming rig has a Maxtor II as its main drive and one day I ran a test on it had 1 bad sector, still works fine. So checked Amazon and found this Seagate. Purchased it, went to their web sight and downloaded Seagate discwizard and cloned my Maxtor and the seagate became my primary drive. Turned PC off, switched sata cable plugs so Seagate is in #1 plug and Maxtor is in #2 plug and erased Maxtor and now its the storage drive running fine and its 2 years old been running everyday, off late at night. Now the Seagate which is twice as fast, will be the work horse. Its so quiet some times I have to look at the HD light to know its working. Great price from Amazon, quick shipping, great product from Seagate. Very happy with purchase, all of my latest PC upgrades{Samsung Monitor, ASUS mobo, Seagate HD} have come from Amazon, sorry I didnt purchase my quad core AMD CPU and power spupply from here. Im in the market for new EVGA video card, which is all Ive ever owned because they make the best and have great customer support and it will come from here and this is my gaming machine. The other PC in the house will be getting some upgrades from Amazon also. Seagate makes great hard drives, and Amazon is a great place to purchase them from. BTW I read some of the bad reveiws but with electronics that happens. Ive never had a Seagate die on me. Purhcase one if you need it and good luck with your new hardware.

I will never buy another Seagate internal hard drive memory ever again. In the past, I have purchased about five of these internal drives and in the end I've had to RMA two back to the manufacturer and now I have another one that I need to send back because it has failed, to be more specific I have differing numbers of the barracuda series 7200.10, 7200.11, either the 750 GB or 1 TB sizes and I haven't seen any trend in which ones fail and which ones don't, but I'm not very impressed with any of them. I must admit that Seagate customer service is usually very good and they are very quick to replace my old drive, but they replace it with a certified repaired HDD. Regardless of the fact that Seagate replaces the drive, there is no way that they can recover the information on the drive and unless I have backed it up, I have lost the information forever. There is nothing more frustrating than having to think about whether or not you have backed up your music files or your important family pictures.I guess I never really thought that there was a difference amongst the different hard drive manufacturers, and I hate to pick on just one manufacturer, but all of the problems and failed drives that I have had in the past have been Seagate. Don't get me wrong, when you first get to drive, they run great, they are fast and quiet and they do exactly what they are supposed to do, but after several months of use and as the drive becomes more filled with your important information, it becomes extremely frustrating when you start hearing the ticking sound since that is probably the first indication and that is when you know that the drive is starting to fail and that you have only a short amount of time before you have to back up all of your data before you lose it.In the past, I've usually purchased storage drives based on whichever one was on sale or was the bargain at the time I needed to add to my storage, but from now on I will take into consideration the name brand as I have now vowed to never purchase another Seagate hard drive. I must admit that Seagate usually had the best price, therefore I usually ended up with more of them in the past, but I have also have purchased Western Digital, Hitachi and now Samsung. I've never had such problems with any of my other big, 1 TB, storage drives which brings me to the conclusion that it must be the manufacturing of the drive and the poor quality inspection as well as the inferior work mention of the drive and that is the reason why it fails.I've noticed that filling my storage drives close to 750 GB increases the likelihood that it will begin to act strangely, and if the drive is going to fail then that is usually when I begin hearing that infuriating ticking sound which only gives me a little time to "backup" my information. This experience has now made me paranoid so I backup and backup my backups so don't lose any information.

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.
