Bought this drive a few weeks back and it's worked flawlessly. Upon opening the Amazon box, I was utterly shocked to find that it was actually packaged carefully! Historically, Amazon has shipped fragile items in a huge box with absolutely no packaging whatsoever, with the item rattling around like a rock. This drive came tightly sandwiched between two thick pieces of foam. Again, this is a first and probably just a fluke.Note that this is an OEM drive, meaning that you JUST GET THE DRIVE. Nothing else. Zippo. No sata cable, no power cable, no manual, no packaging. Nothing.Installation of the drive is incredibly simple; if you can't figure it out, you shouldn't be using a computer in the first place. Once installed and operating, it's extremely quiet. So quiet, in fact, you'd swear it wasn't plugged in. Data access is very fast; noticeably faster than my 7200.9 & 7200.10 250 gig drives.If you need massive amounts of space, I highly recommend this drive.

I need a drive to back up my photos, and that turned into a project of "well, I might as well back up everything..." I had my eyes on a 1tb drive, but at a few dollars more, I bit and purchased this Seagate drive. 1.5TB (well, 1.39TB when formatted in NTFS) for ~$120 is nothing a great price, but this time next year, it'll probably be a lot cheaper.Earlier Seagate drives for this model had firmware issues where the drive would spontaneously freeze. The drive that I purchased and received was free from this with updated firmware (you can check this by going to Seagate's website and looking for SeaTools.) That was my big concern (although instead of dealing with Seagate's awful customer service, you can download the updated firmware for this drive at Newegg.)On another note, Amazon seems to have gotten a lot better about packaging OEM drives. It seemed like they used to just toss it in an empty box and hope that UPS didn't destroy it, but this came in a larger box, all wrapped in foam. That made me feel a lot better.

I brought this drive at 12/6/08 and when I received it, it was just a plain brownbox oem drive with no instructions nor cables. The box looks like it has been previously opened also. It didn't matter to me because I have lots of sata cables anyways and I don't need instructions. I have a Gigabyte 965p-s3 motherboard and the motherboard won't detect the drive when connected to the purple jmicron controller but works with the integrated ICH8 controller. I used acronis and moved the OS over from my old 400gb hard drive to this one and it works fine. One minor quirk is that it makes a clicking noise when this drive boots up. I thought that they would've fixed the firmware issue by the time when ship the drive but I guess they didn't. Mine's came with SD17 firmware and I had to manually update it with SD1A firmware. However, I was using the hard drive with the SD17 firmware for a few days and it seems to be working fine.I would've given it 5 stars if Amazon says that it is an OEM drive so I would know what I am buying. Other than that, the hard drive works great.

Failed after 800 hours of use... One minute it was fine the next it caused a blue screen failure and then all the LBA's were bad. Used every tool avail no luck. Have never had a drive fail so quickly. I'd stay away based on the 7200.11 fiasco! 7200.12 doesn't seem to be a lot better!Update: received new drive from Seagate, swapped circuit board just to see if the failure was electrical or mechanical. Turns out its a mechanical failure which in my mind makes the failure worse!

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.
