I ordered this on a gold box deal for $92. What a steal! You do always pay for what you get, because I have returned not one but TWO, and still do not have a functioning drive. After requesting a replacement for the second drive, Amazon sent me an emailing stating that they will just refund my money rather than replace another drive.I read the reviews, and checked for a firmware update before attempting anything else. Both came with updated firmware. I tried nearly everything to try to get both drives to work, using all of Seagate's available tools after Windows could not format. However, I quickly discovered multiple bad sectors on both drives. The first drive couldn't even pass the Seagate DOS short test!If you can get a drive that works, then maybe you're just lucky. I should have listened to the reviews, but I thought that it was impossible that so many drives were truly DOA. Having experienced first-hand, I know now that this may just be a faulty design.

Although the first disk drive I received didn't work, Amazon quickly replaced it (UPS picked it up at my house), and the second drive is working great. It's nice to have a company that responds quickly to issues. I actually received my replacement drive around the same time UPS picked up my first drive that had issues.

I ordered four Seagate 500 GB hard drives for my computer now, and out of those four, three have failed. The first failed instantly, the second failed a couple months later, and now my third hard drive is failing about half a year after use.I'm surprised that my fourth hard drive is doing as well as it has after seeing the others fail so quickly. This is totally unacceptable. Three fourths of my hard drives failing within less than a year? I have computers that are 25 years old that still work great. These are bad hard drives.And if you are wondering, my hard drives are all placed properly and are not over-heating.

I won't go into the finer points of how speeds and write/read rates acted on this machine.I will simply state that it worked right out of the box in my external dock i picked up off of amazon. No fuss. No issues. I plugged it in, formated it and have not looked back since.I initially had it written in FAT32 but reformated into NTFS -- so i have 1 format (quick) and about 200GB of written data to it with no issues.Speed is good over USB 2.0 being streamed to my media center extender across the network.Overall, for an inexpensive mass storage solution this works.

I bought this disk to replace a hitachi I had. I don't have any complaints over the speed, but the disk is much noisier than the disk I had before. I am not saying it is annoyingly noisy, just noisier than the hitachi.

The video streaming with the Seagate Barracuda 7200 1.5 TB 7200RPM is quite good... quite what I expected it to do. It streamed in a 1080p HD video without a pause. I can also stream videos from my Windows 7 desktop into the TV with the media extender. Plus there is the 32 MB cache. I have configured my ST31500341AS to RAID-1.When I start up this internal hard drive up it is noisy. It also moves away from the RAID configuration and this can be frustrating at times! On the whole I felt it was a fair buy.

This was a Seagate hard drive put in an defectively designed cardboard box without a plastic clam shell. The result was ZERO padding for the hard drive during shipment. I repeat ZERO padding. If Amazon is shipping hard drives like this, it's like purchasing a time bomb for your data.

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.

I've only had the drive for about a month and the real test of longevity will come in the months and years to come. The drive is easy to install and the software that Seagate provides will permit you to easily set up the drive in a number of different ways. As far as noise is concerned the drive seems very quite with fast access times although I've not made any actual measurements - just my perception. The bottom line is hopefully these 12 generation drives do not suffer catastrophic failures like the 11th generation did. However on that note I will say that Seagate was fast and efficient in replacing two failed 11th generation drives that I had the misfortune to buy - albeit with refurbished 10th generation disks instead of new 12th generation drives (sigh). One final note regarding Seagate hard drives. I've recently purchased three Seagate 500GB drives and not a one of them had the correct model number labeled on the box. Really strange from my view point but the actual model numbers seems to be only available on the drive itself.

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.

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.

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!!!

As always, Seagate makes excellent drives. I do not work for Seagate;rather, I'm just a very satisfied customer. That said, it was an easyinstallation and it's been a flawless operation of the drive. For mydrive, I couldn't use the IDE ribbon cable that was connected to theold drive. I needed a special SATA cable to connect the drive to themotherboard SATA controller since it's a SATA and not an IDE drive.But, this is not a Seagate issue; it's just that my setup requiredthis extra cable which was readily available.I recommend this drive and, in general, Seagate drives. I'm going tokeep on purchasing Seagate drives for my future drive upgrades. One lastitem worthy of mention is that Amazon shipped the drive in a box withfoam inserts to keep the drive in place in the box while in transport.So, no worries about buying bulk/OEM drives from Amazon from thisperspective. Amazon has moved to properly shipping drives after pastcomplaints that drives were being packed loosely in shipping boxes.

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.

This drive is fast, quiet and has a very generous cache. Unfortunately the reliability of the ST31000528AS (at least of the drive I got) leaves something to be desired. After 4 days it developed its first error as indicated by a "1" for Current_Pending_Sector. This is a real pain because this pending reallocatable sector won't be reallocated till something writes to the sector. The only way I know to do that is to move all the data off the drive and then zap the drive by either writing zero's across the raw partition or by using the security erase to do the same thing. I've done this a couple of times now and after 179 days the drive has 17 reallocated sectors and has also starting making clicking noises once per second. Back it goes to Seagate for a swap. This isn't a good deal because they end up sending one a refurb in exchange. It is a bit annoying that one pays top dollar for a new drive and one ends up with a refurb after paying for an extra shipping and digging up a Seagate approved mailing container.

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

I had two of these drives die in a NAS box and the third one in my PC. I've been experiencing some problems with my desktop and my Windows Home Server was kind enough to tell my PC hard drive was dying. Having been familiar with the RMA process already I ran the SeaTools and sure enough my Seagate drive is failing their tests after 1,200 hours of power on time. The two Western Digital drives in my machine have over 19,000 hours on them and they are still passing. These Baracudas have been the worst hard drive's I've ever had. My Windows Home Server came with one and I quickly ripped it out and replaced it with WD Caviar drives. I will never buy another Seagate drive and I suggest you don't either. On the plus side, Seagate is good about replacing my drives, but since I no longer trust them I end up dumping them in a drawer or on Ebay. I'm not risking my data with Seagate anymore.

I have purchased 4 of these 1 TB drives.The first one was in 2009, it worked good as my C: drive for about 6 months then started to have reallocated sectors.Started with one which lasted a few months, move up to 5, then 20 and now 270 so I cloned it and took it out of service. It still passes the Seagate drive test but I don't trust it. Seagate has been very good at replacing defective drives. I had one replaced a couple of years ago.The other 3 were purchased in 2010 and are still running OK. Very fast drives.I might give WD a try for my next drive as they have a model that has a 5 year warranty too.

A great storage option if you have a tower. The drive arrived the next day (I paid nothing for shipping) and the time it took to get it up and running was under 10 minutes. So simple to install, and for less than $100 I increased my storage capacity by 600%. Plus, the Barracuda drives are extremely reliable, quiet, and for that price, no external drive can compete. If you need more space in a MacPro, this is your best bet.

I just replaced my 2nd 1tb drive, both turned out to be the .11. I know this now b/c on the latest RMA which i'm packaging right now, the Seagate rep offered to change it to a .12 on the return. I lost a significant amount of work both times, although less the 2nd time because I was paranoid after the first. I work in an industry where large video and image files are the norm, and I can't spend a bunch of time burning files that I'm working on. i need reliability in my storage.This used to be an incredibly reliable company, and it's too bad that their large capacity stuff is so lousy. In the case of this one, the model# I bought didn't match what the drive detect program read it as, so it couldn't apply any of the downloaded firmware updates (even though drivedetect was showing it as needing one). The rep at Seagate told me I'd have to download it directly. When I did (I was doing all this b/c the drive was running too slowly to use) the drive was bricked and my OS told me I had to reformat. I'm getting rid of everything I own made by Seagate and never returning. I haven't had products this bad since Maxtor. Probably not a coincidence they bought them. Avoid at all costs unless you don't care about your data.

I've had many Seagate drives for years and years with no problems but recently a brand new 1.5TB SATA model lasted only a few weeks. I was very impressed with the quick and easy warranty support I obtained at the Seagate website. Seagate provides a test program to download and execute that would collect information about the drive. After submitting that info and mailing instructions, they proceeded to send me a replacement via 2-day UPS air. The replacement came on schedule with labeling to use the container for returning the old drive via UPS at their expense. I was not aware of warranty coverage that provides a replacement unit before return of the original. Nice!
