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!!!

Im satisfied with the purchase of this HDD. A SATA 3Gb/s Hard Disk with 1.5 TB (1500 GIGABYTES), 32 MB CACHE, 7200 RPM WAOO!! (I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I PURCHASED IT FOR 100 DOLLARS). I have read some reviews that said it's the best HDD of 1.5TB in the market. Will cost me a lot to fill it!

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.

Amazons Frustration Free packaging for hard drives EPOCH FAIL!!!1. Cardboard supports FAIL2. Packaging marked fragile FAIL3. Hard Drive bouncing in packaging SUCCESS4. Wondering about platter damage SUCCESSI hate reviewing products passed on packaging, but this is kind of important until amazon gets their #*&$ strait.Getting a hard drive in bad packaging is a BAD BAD idea unless you like having a crappy running computer because of bad sectors that cant be swapped out because there are no good ones left.I am not the only one who noticed:[...]

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!

I have installed it and was able to copy my old hard drive (30 GB) to this new one and add some extra storage space. It shipped fast and works great. I had to find a SATA to IDE converter though because my motherboard doesn't support SATA. I found one for $15 and it is working great.
