I got two of these drives and set them up in a RAID-1 configuration. They work like a charm - and Windows 7 boots up very fast from these.

These 12th generation drives are thinner and run cooler than any other Seagate drives that I have purchased in the past. 4 drives have been configured for a 1TB RAID 0+1. A bargain buy $$$ for excellent performance and reliability.

I bought two and sure enough...problems...with both.(problem also hit me with some 1TB seagates but I thought for sure it would have been resolved for the 1.5TBs...no)Tried moving them to external USB cases after internal install had issues; did firmware updates as well...they still tend to "hang".I have bought seagates for a looong time but no more...to many faults that seagate is just not interested in resolving; go visit their forums and see the consumer anger.

What else can I say. This drive showed up DOA. You can't give it ANY stars then. I was really hoping to give this drive a perfect 5star rating. NEVER have I had this experience with any drive manufacturer, Come on Seagate this is your flagship.I spent the good part of a day messing with drivers and firmware updates. Neither of my computers could see this drive under any circumstance possible. Both the MB manufacturer and Seagate believe the drive is dead. Whose fault, Seagate, Amazon, UPS... who knows. The product was packaged VERY well and I left the drive warm up for 12 hours before I started messing with it.This drive was purchased to explore the possiblity of creating a pretty sizable array to hold over 1000 DVD's for a HTPC. Hopefully the technology isn't too new that it is so unpredictable.Pros: HUGE capacityCons: DOA... DOA... DEAD ON ARRIVAL!!!I will write a follow up review on the replacement drive Amazon is shipping.

This drive is slow. I ended up using it as storage only. [...]for a good read. Seagate is not the company they used to be. This is a good 'green' drive for storage, but not for use as a primary drive IMO.

This has got to be the worst drive I've ever used. It lost my data from day 1, even with the new firmware. It's just a bad drive. Avoid it at all costs.

I have measured read and write speeds of well over 100 MB/sec on the outer tracks of this drive. This is the fastest drive I have ever seen, and I have 10000 RPM SCSI drives. The price is right, too. This is an ideal drive for RAID. It is low profile and low power so you can cram them into your case without worry of overheating.

I ordered two of these. One came before the other. Both came in the proper drive packaging that is suitable for Seagate warrantee return requirements so you want to save this packaging. It's perfect. I installed them in on Intel's mini ITX Atom based board that has two SATA ports but does not support RAID. I decided to try Fedora Core 10's software RAID 1 configuration and is my NAS. It has been online since Feb 3, 2009 and the hard drives are working perfectly so far.UPDATE: Today, it's Jan 18, 2011. Both drives are still functioning. I have rebooted a couple times within the last six months I think.

I bought this harddrive because of the large capacity to use in my media center computer.I have used the drive for about a month now, and I am afraid that I have to join the ranks of the people who are experiencing random stuttering.Specifically, when I try to play either HD movies or Blu-Ray movies from an ISO image, the drive will randomly cause the movie playback to start stuttering. Some times I can get lucky and watch an hour without a problem, other times barely 5 minutes of the very same movie. No other processes are consuming any notable resources at the time, so everything seems to point to the hard drive. I have tried defragmenting the harddrive, but nothing seems to make a difference.On the 150GB hard drive that came with the computer, I never experienced any stuttering.

"Performing a firmware update can be risky by itself even in the best of situations" -seagate support website.http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=206091The new drives (as of Feb 2009) STILL have problems (read/write errors). Meanwhile I've been waiting for a week for response from Seagate. I tried calling, and their technical/warranty lines are DOWN, except for the automated service that shuffles you from option to option. I'm returning the unit. Also be aware that Seagate does not offer the firmware from the website. You have to get it from their tech support people on an individual basis (who are not available). They say that it is because "Performing a firmware update can be risky by itself even in the best of situations."

I bought one of these a few months ago. I use it for digital photography files ranging in size from 15MB RAW files to 1.5GB layered Photoshop files. This 1.5TB drive does a great job of moving these files around at sustained throughput speed of about 90-100MB/sec.BUT, after only a month or two, the drive started making the "sound of death" clicking noise, and locking up my whole computer. So I sent it back to Seagate for a replacement, and ordered another one from Amazon.Right now, I am only using these drives for redundant backup, and based on reviews that I have read, the rate of failure on these things is pretty high.Bottom line: these drives are probably good only for high-speed large redundant storage situations, where you can afford to lose a drive without negative consequences.For a primary, large, high-speed drive that is reliable, I recommend the 1TB WD "black".

I was looking to expand some of my 1TB drives and this one was a perfect replacement. Speed is about the same or a little faster (transfer Mb/sec) and seek times are about the same.I read other reviews saying those drives tend to go bad but so far this one has been working fine. No unexpected temperature issues, etc.I run a bunch of drives in a RAID5 array so I'm not overly worried if one crashes.Given the price - I'd say it's a great buy!

Please be aware that this drive also requires you to separately purchase a data cable and rail screws to secure the drive to the PC frame; all you get is the drive. If you order, it's luck of the draw, hope yours works.

First unit was DOA. Got a warranty replacement from Seagate which has been working fine for a few weeks. I thought I was spending $60 for a new hard drive, but ended up paying $70 for a refurb (after shipping original to Seagate -- grrr). Other than that, no complaints.

My 1.5TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 installed effortlessly and works well on my Windows XP system. I am buying a second one for backup purposes. This is a cost-effective solution for backups and 1.5TB is enough for all of my digital photographs, MP4 files, and the like.I did not experience any of the firmware issues referenced elsewhere. Highly recommended.

It was working for a month, then it started having hardware errors.1. Linux would re-mount it as read only after hardware error.2. After the reboot it may or may not work at all.3. After a reboot some directories were completely lost.4. The drive would mount fine but stop working after a minute or two.Do not waste your time on this junk. It is far worse than throwing your money away. The only reason to spend money on this hard drive is to pay someone to remove it from your computer.

If you plan to use this in an external enclosure, keep in mind that this is a 4-disk drive and uses up to 2.8A at 12V during spinup. Most enclosures are rated for up to 2A and some will have problems powering up this drive.

I have this drive and it works great. A couple of people are saying that this drive is slow or pauses when transferring files or playing media. They need to check to make sure that there are no jumpers set. This drive normally operates at 300 MB/sec. See below from Seagate's page:"It is not necessary to set any terminators or other settings on this drive for proper operation. The jumper block adjacent to the SATA interface connector on SATA 150MB/sec drives is for factory use only. The jumper block adjacent to the SATA interface connector on SATA 300MB/sec drives can be used to force the drive into SATA 150MB/sec mode for use with older SATA controllers that only work with SATA 150MB/sec drives."The jumper setting can be seen here [...]If your system is sata 1 then you will need this jumper set. If your system is sata 1 and the jumper is not set that could be causing the pause problem since the drive is trying to send the data faster than the system can accept it. If you system is sata 2 and the jumper is set then this could cause slow read/writes.

Well, I am using 2 of these drives in RAID mirror for my My Documents folder (yes you can assign the My Documents folder to specific hard drives, just rt click and go into the properties). This way anything in My Documents is 'backed up' due to redundancy. The drives just work. They are speedy enough, and there is an extravagent amount of storage. I also have 2 250 GB drives in RAID stripping mode for speed, and that gives me just under 1/2 TB on my C drive and 1.5 Tb of storage, total almost 2 TB storage. That is a LOT of space. Fully recommended.

Anyone that would care to have ENORMOUS Hard Drive space in your 24" iMac should buy this little unit. It popped in using the info on this site.[...] I did the job myself. Now Photoshop CS4 has endless space to use. Not to mention it being fast and inexpensive.

I love Seagate hard drives! I had to return one recently after 4.5 years of use. I didn't need the original receipt or be the original purchaser. The return and exchange experience was so positive that even if I wasn't already a committed lifetime buyer I sure as heck am now. I highly recommend this hard drive in particular. I've ready many reviews online and somehow this is as fast as my WD Raptor drive and as fast as most solid state drives which cost many times more per GB. I recommend buying two of them and running in RAID-0 so your PC thinks you have one 3TB drive, b/c that's L33337. ;-D

I've got about 15 of these in my array for movie storage and I've never had one fail. I did have one that said it was unhealthy, but performing a repair fixed it and never had issues since.

I have always bought Seagate drives, recently upgraded my MBP to a 320 MB Seagate, same with my MacMini; so even after reading so many negative reviews I decided to take a chance with it. I upgraded the 500 MB drive in my Time Capsule with the 1.5 TB Seagate and it works perfectly, it not only provides backups using Time Machine for all my Macs, but also works as a media server for all my house and I can stream music and videos from it without a single glitch, even streamed different music for two Macs at the same time. The drive is very fast, very silent and has massive storage. Maybe I just got lucky and the one I received has the new firmware, I actually never even checked what version it was, just installed it. I would definitely recommend this drive it's just awesome, huge amounts of space, quick, silent, low heat, very very affordable and so far very reliable; just hope it stays that way, but so far it's an amazing drive.

I got the SATA drive, plugged it in and promptly forgot that I had had problems with the last HD and just started restoring SW. Works good for me!
