Seagate quality control failed me. The 1.5TB hard drive I ordered through amazon.com arrived DOA. It will not power up. I have ordered Seagate hard drives in the past from amazon.com without any quality issues. Seagate quality control should be adequate to prevent dead drives from being shipped to customers. Has anyone purchased Western Digital hard drives recently? I purchased Western Digital drives in the 1990's and was happy with their products at that time.

I bought this HD after I checked some previous reviews about this product so I took the decision to get it. The first week I got my first drive I started having problems with it because sometimes it was not recognized by the Bios and sometimes it was. One week after it never came up. I delivered the defective one and one I got the replacement it worked fine for 1 year. Now it is not recognized either by the seatools for Windows software or the Bios. I have to send it back again.

It's everything I expected for the price. It is slower than I thought but that could also be my internet provider. Storage capacity is great and the processor is very quite.

We purchased over 20 of these drives a few months ago. Of the 20only 1 went "bad". Good speed. Reliability is iffy at most with somany bad reviews about it. We believe buyers will spend time writinga bad review because they DID GET a bad product.Which leads us to believe that Seagate, which has been a great companyfor producing Hard Disks in the past, hired a double agent from WesternDigital a couple of years ago unknownly, and now WD is rising, andSeagate falling...Think about it Seagate.Danxo (The Walter Judson Group)

Not much to say here other than getting a great product by seagate. Always reliable.Now, if only I could get this much storage at this price for an SSD! :-)

I purchased three of these drives. I was hesitant after the problems with version 11 but after reading a review on how fast there drives were and reading that the version 12 drives were fixed I went ahead. I set up two drives in a RAID 1 and used the third drive as my boot drive. Within 24 hours my PC was slowing down and during boot I was getting a "RAID degraded message". Then the clicking started. I isolated the clicking drive by pulling the power from the drives one by one. It was one of the RAID drives. I sent it back to Amazon and received a new drive. I installed the new drive, the RAID rebuilt itself. Less than 24 hours later my system started to slow and the clicking started again. This time it was the Boot Drive. Same process, returned the drive, got a new drive and installed the drive. Less than 24 hours later the new boot drive started clicking and freezing my system. 3 of 3 is a 100% failure rate. In fact Amazon has chosen to not replace my drive, they will only provide a refund. How can a company like Seagate have such poor quality control. I love the performance of the drives but........

I installed this as a second drive in my desktop computer and have been satisfied with the performance. I would rate it as very quiet. If I listen closely I can tell that it is running, but that is about all. The only sound that is really noticeable is when it auto-parks after it has been idle for a while, and when it restarts when I access it. I actually enjoy hearing the "snap-snap" sound that occurs when the two drives auto-park in sequence when the computer goes to sleep -- I guess I am just easily entertained!One caution: this is an OEM package, so don't forget to order a SATA cable and the appropriate (very short) 6-32 screws to go with it, as there is nothing in the package except the drive itself. I was able to find "retail package" drives locally, which include the SATA cable in the box (don't know if it includes screws), but they were all the 7000.11 version, not the 12th generation drive like this one. The 7000.12 is supposed to be quite a bit lower in power consumption, and based on the wattage readout on my UPS I can confirm that this drive adds very little load to the power supply.

I purchase 4 of these drives over the period of a month. They all have under 100 hrs of use and only one is still operational with substantial errors and warnings from the S.M.A.R.T diagnostics on the drive. Working with the vendor is a challenge, they would like you to run their diagnostics but on dead drives nothing happens and getting to support without that is a challenge, still trying. Apart from that, the drive sounded like a great solution for storage but given the failure rate, I'm not happy or would NOT recommend them. At least if support was accessible, then you could work with that. Some of folks complained here about packaging, in my case the boxes arrived in very good conditions and the drives were well protected.

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.

This hard drive has been great from the day I got it. I'm using it is an HP Mediasmart Server and I've had no issues at all. The drive is plenty quiet and noticeably faster than my 5200 RPM drive. Great hard drive and I'll buy another when they are on sale again.

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.

The drive has been working fine for three weeks straight. I haven't installed it and am using it as an external USB drive. It's much slower as a USB drive so I can't comment on the SATA speeds yet.

What everyone wants in a hard drive. A big 1 TB drive, a fast 7200 RPM's, and less than $69. You can't beat this.

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.

When I purchased the 500GB hardrive it already had the latest firmware. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. The drive is as fast as you would expect and doesnt make any clicking noises. Great buy!

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.
