Got this drive on a lightning deal in sept. Just tried to install it and it was doa. Seagate does not recognize the serial number/model number for warrantee, and it's past 30 days for amazon return.

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.

Installed this drive when my OEM disk kicked the bucket. The SATA connection made it easy to install and it has been a reliable drive for me. I've never had 1 TB of storage space before so it is needless to say that I am thouroughly enjoying it.

Been in my PC as of Tuesday (4 days) and I have used it heavily.So far has been flawless if occasionally a bit noisy. This being a relative term and subject to personal opinion. However, much quieter than my old 80 gig EIDE that sounded like it had stark raving mad gnomes with pick-axes.So far, so good. Cant complain and the price was right.

Excellent price at the time my purchase was made, and it was shipped within a reasonable amount of time. Has been installed a running for about 2 months with no problems. I would recommend purchasing one if you have the chance.

I bought a WD OEM 1TB Hard drive few weeks ago, it runs slow like hell on my desktop running windows 7. As replacement, 1TB hard drive from Seagate gives me the hope of building a faster system. So if you are look for a hard drive fast enough to fit your i5 or i7 processor and not expensive (like solid state drive), this is it.

Got this drive on an Amazon deal. Overall it's not a bad drive for the capacity. The only thing I hate about it is the loud clicking noise each this the drive spins up/down when coming out of sleep or during machine power on.

I bought this drive in attempt to save my failed drive of the same after only 6 months of use. After swapping parts out, the failed hard disc failed to boot and the data was corrupt. So not only did the motor stop, but my data is toast too.I'm a computer geek and have been since 1992 and I have only had Seagate drives fail on me. No more Seagate for me.

The only reason I can't give it 5's across the board is that I've only had it several days so I have not tested its warranty or even customer service. It was promptly delivered and worked as advertised. It was easy to set up. I just want to see how it holds up. I would recommend it.

I ordered this hard drive and have it in place as my offsite archieve drive. So far so good and would recommend Seagate hard drive as the best quality drives. Amazon's packaged this hard drive is a super huge box. It could and should have used much smaller box to ship it.

I needed an inexpensive, reliable HD and got this. Works flawlessly, you will need a SATA cable as it doesn't come with one. So far so good, best bang for the buck right now at $59.

Bought with 3.5" USB external drive case. Has worked well so far. Very easy to link to USB external drive case. Came in good package that kept it from moving around. Will update later after multiple month use. Can't beat price per GB even at Microcenter or online.

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.

I purchased an HP Media Server that was populated with one of these drives. I added three additional drives and ordered one more as a spare. For the better part of a year the drives have performed flawlessly running 24/7. I may never need to use the spare.
