Came home and unboxed the drive, installed it and proceeded to use the Seagate Disc Wizard (Windows takes longer IMHO) and had an Internal Exception Error: "Object handle is not registered. (0x120023)". Ok so I used Windows 7 Manager to format as NTFS (tried Full and Quick) and comes up with an error that it could not be formatted. Sent this one back, hopefully I will get the next one in a couple days to see if this replacement drive is any better.

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.

This product is everything you'd want in a drive. Quiet, and it holds tons of stuff.Having had it less than a month, it's premature to speak of reliability; however, I've purchased many Seagate drives at work over the years, and they make a good product.

This product was easy to reformat for my Mac. I am thinking about removing the internal hard drive and replacing it with the (Seagate Barracuda 250 GB 7200 RPM SATA 3Gb/s 8MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Hard Drive ST3250318AS-Bare Drive). Can't beat the price for a 7200 RPM 250 Gig hard drive with a nice cache ratio as well. I would recommend this product for use.

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.

Both units arrived in a timely fashion and were solid right out of the very solid packaging. We needed a little room to move some parts of a server file system around with externalizing everything. The 250s and a simple raid controller did the trick. Units were prepacked in Seagate shipping boxes which can be re-used for warranty shipments of any hard disk.

The reason for this purchase is all the SMART errors I was getting when using these drives in my ReadyNAS raid array. I though I was getting enterprise reliability but two (of the four) of the drives have growing SMART error counts already, not what I expected. I'm in the processes of testing the drives using the SeaTools to determine if I need to do the RMA. I do have better things to spend my time on ...

I almost didn't order this drive because several people wrote very negative reviews about the packaging, saying that it arrived "dead on arrival." mine arrived in a simple cardbox box supported by black plastic holders at each end. I felt worried when I saw this but my tech guy said they all come that way and it worked fine when installed.

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)...

This is without a doubt the fastest, quietest drive I've ever installed. Before I purchased this drive I read some unfavorable reviews. I decided to purchase it anyway because I have a great deal of favorable experience with Seagate drives. I've worked in the IT field for years and have installed many drives in various machines. The Seagate brand is my preference.This item is listed as a "bare" drive" that means it doesn't come with cables, software or instructions. If you've replaced or added a drive before, you don't need the end user packaging. If you're putting it into an older machine as I was, you'll need to make sure you have a SATA port to connect it to. If you have to add the SATA port, you'll probably also need a proper power connection. To upgrade my older machine, I purchased theSyba SD-SATA-1E1I PCI SATA (1-Port) and e-SATA (1-Port) Card with SIL3512 Chipset PCI SATA (1-Port) and e-SATA (1-Port) Card with SIL3512 ChipsetSATA card to add 2 ports and theSyba SY-CAB40004 Molex 4-Pin to 15-Pin SATA Power Cable and SATA Data Cable (14 Inches)Cable for the power conversion/SATA data connection. Both were exactly what I needed for the upgrade.As of this writing they've been installed and working in this older Windows machine for about a month without incident.P.S. I found the downloadable Seagate Disc Wizard software to be useless bloatware/Addware. I just used the OS to format the drive.

This drive is advertised as NEW. It obviously came out of an Apple computer which makes it USED. It suffered catastrophic failure and is NOT supported by Seagate because it is OEM, and only the OEM buyer can deal with Seagate. I have attempted to contact the seller twice now without receiving a reply. This seller should be banned fromAmazon because of Fraud and Deception.

There is much discuasion of the performance of this drive when used in RAID arrays. [...] The drive that notably beat the Seagate was the WD RE3. The real competition for the Seagate is the WD Caviar Black which the drive met or beat on virtually every test.Some background info:Both the 1Tb WD Black and the Seagate 1.5Tb had an issue with long "timeouts" caused by the drives "self-standardization" or "cache-flushing" (I'm not SURE of the technical details) at intervals. This "off-line" appearance of the drives caused the drive to a) drop out of the RAID configuration b) be "ejected" from the array due to "read/write errors" c) "hang" for up to 30 seconds or so. Needless to say, these cause major problems in the speed and efficiency of the RAID arrays.The most important thing to note is the major difference in corporate response to the using the drives in RAID arrays. I don't have the exact quote, but WD pretty much said "the Black is not approved for RAID use and will not be supported in this application. Use the RE3 drives". This varies MARKEDLY in the response of SEAGATE which was to work with users and issue firmware patches to meet customer expectatioins. The response of WD on this issue was, imho, unforgivable.. I mean its true that the drives, if applied to a true corporate environment RAID array which has very severe throughput and percent utilization challenges, is a special case. However, for home users, probably 90% of new motherboards contain SATA RAID options built in. For this reason combined with the great prices on HD's now encourage MANY MANY home users to begin using RAID configurations on their home setups. By any stretch of the imagination drives used this way get no more severe utilization than the same drives used in a single drive configuration.[b]Huge KUDO's go to SEAGATE[/b] for the way in which they have tried to support this 1.5 Tb drive while WD needs to have their ears pinned back for their "corporate speak" response to this issue. The RE3 is, on a cost per Gb basis, about 2.25 times the cost of the Seagate 1.5Tb. The 1Tb Caviar Black is the "comparable" drive (still somewhat more expensive $/Gb than this Seagate) and it isn't supported by WD in a RAID array!!! Pffft on WD!PS: I am a long time user of both brands of drives and previously was slightly biased toward WD.. but this incident weighs on my mind considerably(edit added) To summarize:Seagate 1.5Tb approx cost /Gb 0.085 .. RAID supported (need updates)WD Black 1.0Tb approx cost /Gb 0.120 .. Not supported in RAIDWD RE3 1.0Tb approx cost /Gb 0.180 .. Certified for RAIDAll have 5yr warranties, and based on my past experience (I've not had a failure with any of these drives) their warranty services are very good. But if you're having RAID application issues with the WD Black, you won't get support.

I purchased the Seagate ST31500341AS to replace a smaller drive in a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ storage array. The ReadyNAS reads S.M.A.R.T. data (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) on the disk. After about 100 hours of operation, the system reported that the Reallocated Sector Count increased from 0 to 3 and warned of a potential disk failure. Drive has firmware version CC1H. Note that Netgear certified this as a compatible drive for their device. Not much I can do until it fails. On the positive side, it's under warranty until 6/15/2013.

This is a review revisit. I installed this Seagate in my iMac and ran the hard disk integrity and benchmark tests in Drive Genius that stresses the drive and looks for defects. It passed the tests above average and so far has been flawless. I'm the type that wants a reliable drive and if I have one that seems suspect I'll run it through tests that will either verify or restore the drive like new or expose it as unreliable.As anyone who has an '07 or newer iMac they are virtually silent. After installing this new drive I noticed it's normal operating sound level is just noticeable where the original drive had no noticeable noise. This is totally fine. And monitoring the drive's temperature is normal as well.

We purchased two of these. I certainly did my homework on this purchase investigating both Seagate and Western Digital 1.5 TB drives. These Seagates arrived a few days ago and I was fully prepared to send them back based upon other bad packaging reviews and other infant mortality reviews here.But these arrived in a large box which was full of those little air-bag pillows. Tucked into the pillows were two individual, sealed, factory boxed drives. The drives themselves were properly packaged inside their individual boxes using Seagate's regular plastic end-cap suspension. The drives were factory sealed in plastic anti-static packaging. So I have no beef with the shipping or packaging. The drives showed no special OEM or other descriptions and in fact are identical (except for specifications) to many other Seagate 7200 series drives we have here.The drives were immediately mounted, initialized, quick-formatted and tested. We found no anomaies. The drives are almost silent in operation and have shown no errors or mal-function in continuous running so far.

Seagates have always been my favorite, with WD drives failing after one year and Seagates going strong for over six. This one shows WRITE (that's write, not read) speeds sustained at over 100 MB/s, which means transferring data is a snap. That's a 7GB DVD in about a minute! Anyway, I've had it for a few months, and although I'm down to less than 1GB left, it's still going strong and fast as ever.System: Windows 7 x64, AMD Athlon II X2 245, LG 24X SATA DVD +/- RW

Seemed like a deal as far as Gigabytes per dollar and thought Seagate was the most trustworthy. This is the first drive I've ever bought that arrived DOA. On power up, there was a telltale click (the click of death?) every five seconds or so. Whole system went dim on first power up. After reboot, it was resistant to formatting etc.. Refused a full format but finally accepted a quick format but then it just disappeared off the radar entirely. Long Diagnostic with Seagate's latest version of SeaTools revealed that the drive was indeed a dud. Very disappointed in Seagate. When these companies get to the top, they always seem to turn to cutting costs to maximize profit and I wouldn't doubt that this is what happened here (especially with this economy.) In this case, I believe it was at the price of their previously fine reputation. If Seagate cleans house and goes back to an emphasis on quality, perhaps, someday, I'll trust Seagate again. For now, though, I'm replacing it with a 2TB Western Digital as the other one of those that I have seems to be just fine so far (6-8 months.) First Toyota, now Seagate. Stop the unreasonable cutting of costs already. There are some things you just can't skimp on.
