I purchased two of these hd ( 1 TB each) to replace my old hard 80 Gb disk on my HP 2200 pc running XP professional. The installation was easy without any problem. I just installed the new drive as drive one and the old one as drive 2. The bios setup took the new hd right away. I start the machine with the recovery CD formatting the new disk. (This can be done also with any Win XP booteable disk wich will format the hard drive as well). After the Windows installation process was done, I just moved my data files from the old disk to the new one. No problem at all. I really recomend these units.

First, I would like to say that Seagate customer service was very responsive and responded to my RMA request quickly and professionally. I sent in a request and the CS rep contacted me over email and was very courteous. When I explained my problem he told me to send it in for RMA. I shipped my drive in and in about 2 weeks got my replacement drive.The bad news is that the replacement drive seems to have the same problem. I have been trying to install Windows 7 and Steam (a game download service) on this drive. The problems began after installing Win7 and Steam and I started downloading my games. I would get an hour or two into the download and my system would hang. Not an application failure, not a blue screen, it would completely freeze. I've only ever seen that happen with a hard drive failure. On top of that, when the system finally reset itself, the Seagate drive would not be visible to the system BIOS, i.e. the drive was non-responsive. If I did a full shut down and cold start, the drive would come back online.I am quite certain it isn't my system or Win7. I've been using my system with Vista Home 64-bit (installed on a WD drive) for over a year and it's been rock-solid stable. Overnight downloads were no problem, games, Photoshop, etc. no problem. I've installed Win7 on my laptop and it is totally stable.However, once I started using this drive bad things started to happen and just last night I got a warning from Windows that the Seagate drive was failing. This is with my new replacement drive. Whatever the problem is, it is very very intermittent which makes it hard to pin down, but when it happens, it's pretty catastrophic. Total system lockup.I know that if I contact Seagate CS, their service will send me a new drive if I ask for it, but what's the point? I've already had two of these drives in a row get flakey on me including a new replacement drive.I'll probably just accept that I ate $100 on this drive and go get a Western Digital drive to replace it.

I only purchase and use Seagate drives exclusively for compatibility and dependability. We have a Drobo, Synology Diskstations and Servers that incorporate this exact 1TB drive very well, ST31000528AS. It is reliable, quiet and stays fairly cool with average cooling, < 37 celisus or 99 degrees. For other reasons, we use Seagate because some other brands failed. It's fair to say that there are many other brands that are reliable as well, but I try to stick with proven technology and equipment. Loosing your hard drive or several hard drives because of "equipment failure" makes you become a bit paranoid and skeptical about the brand that you were using, not to mention all the headaches of trying to restore or recoup your files from backups. I use Seagate drives at home too, but I don't use this particular model. If I was a home user needing Terabyte storage, then this is the drive to consider. You'd pay more for a faster drive with a higher cache, so access and speed is above average but not optimal. So, if you can find this drive for $60 or less it is a great bargain at todays prices. This is a solid soldier (IMHO).

i bought this hdd for a guy who needed more storage, his pc is an old p4 that seemed to struggle with everything, it had an old 40gb samsung hdd, besides the fresh installation of his os, the added boost(a hell lot) of speed in this hdd in comparison with his old drive is amazing, the difference is like day and night, i can say i am a completely satisfied customer, and i also have 2 more of these in my personal pc (the exact same thing than this but 1.5tb each) if i ever needed another hard drive for any of the pcs i fix or for my own one i would certainly buy more like this

Have been using 2 of these drives since late February of this year (2011). So far they work perfectly and are as fast as I presume they should be.However, I haven't used any type of software which independently tests the quality of the drives for flaws, so until one does that one can't be truly sure of their quality. But so far, so good.

I ordered this specific HD 10/20/10 because the status was "buy from Amazon", it was "in stock", it was "eligible for (2 day) Prime", and I needed it soonest. One day into the process (10/21/10, expecting delivery tomorrow, 10/22/10) I received a cute little note saying "We're happy to report you won't have to wait until NOVEMBER 23th (31 days late) for your order because we found we can get it to you by OCTOBER 27th! (5 days late) Aren't we great?" Well, boys and girls, I could have gotten this exact HD from at least six non-amazon vendors at a comparable all-in price in that same time-frame if I hadn't relied on my good, old "SUB-PRIME" membership to get it to me ON TIME. Moral of this story is: Don't believe amazon listings because our dear little buddies WILL bait-and-switch and introduce frustrations, inconveniences, and delays just because they can. To them, apparently, sheer arrogance is its own rich reward.

4 stars since 5 are reserved for latest SSD.This is good standard HDD. I am using it for internal backup.So now I have a storage place for all the work files (16Gb +) each. I is too early to say, if it is reliable storage place, but I surly do hope so. One thing I noticed is that it takes some time to start this drive. However it is probably related to operating system settings rather than to the drive it self.In all - very good drive so far, good speed and price.And I still can't believe it is 1TB. ( I still remember craving 10MB HDD's just "few" years back).

I needed a big hard drive to store my videos, music, and programs. The barracuda is a great hard drive for a couple of reason.1. The noise level is basically none existent, my mini fridge makes more noise than the two 1.5 barracuda hard drives i got.2. read and write speeds are great, programs run flawlessly and there is no lag in videos. I did notice some minor lag when it came to video games that i did not experience on smaller hard drives.3. Packaging was incredibly sturdy with no wiggle room. It was surrounded by air packets so it was cushioned on all sides.I highly recommend this product for people who need a lot of space.

This hard drive runs great but be aware it does not have any accessories, documentation, or drivers with it. It also does not have a Molex power connector so you will need a Molex-SATA adapter if your PSU doesn't come with SATA power cables.

I bought the same hard drive a little over a year ago from Best Buy for $70 and it came with cables, a CD for installation and was in a nice secured box. When I got my product from Amazon it was just in a normal brown box in an anti-static bag. Now, how do I know this isn't used Amazon? Anyways, I am installing my Windows 7 now and I am going to check the drive for errors. If I have any problems I am definitely sending this back.On another note, the old drive I bought is failing now, so I decided to get a new one. Didn't know this was the same exact drive until I got it today. Hopefully it will last longer than the other.I would suggest packing hard drives better or put them in the boxes the distributors give you. I would have liked to have the CD.I haven't had any major issues with Amazon, so I will deal with it.

The drive works fine. Other Seagates I used in the past were quite reliable. I hope this one is too. The software for cloning an existing drive is unnecessarily confusing. I would have liked a simple one-click option rather than a bunch of questions that I don't know how to answer. Much noisier than the Western Digital drives I have been using lately. The noise is annoying and I will probably go back to using WD drives in the future.

I have used this hard drive for a few months now, and I can't really say anything bad about the drive itself. However, while researching this product, I did not come across any explicit warning recommending it not be used in a hot-swap dock. Performance is fine considering I have not used straight SATA or eSATA to a computer - only SATA-to-USB dock. Noise is average for a high-speed drive. The killer for my application (open USB dock) is the HEAT. I could grill on this thing after five minutes of just having the drive powered on. It doesn't even have to be working hard to start cooking.I highly recommend only using this drive in a performance high-airflow desktop or a powerful fan external enclosure. My WD Caviar BLACK drive in the same dock never gets hot in open air no matter how hard it is working. I'm not going to give this drive a bad rating, but if anyone is considering buying it, be sure you have the proper setup to support it without risking overheating.

The product is what it is, the description speaks for itself.The delivery was fast, and the packaging good.The size, format, brand and technical specs are somewhat good compared to the average.However, I would have rather not had any SMART errors appearing in the first week of usage, and most definitely, I would have rather not have seen them increasing at a steady rate since then.Since the disc is being used on a RAID configuration, I can afford the uncertainty over the hassle of returning the item from my location, and having to deal with postage.Nevertheless, I would have expected better, wouldn't I?

I just installed this HD a few days ago as a mass storage drive. My OS is installed on a different HD. I really haven't heard any noise out of this drive whatsoever, so I'm not sure what other reviewers are experiencing -- maybe older drives of this same model were built differently. I personally have no complaints!

I've heard about the bad packaging but i decided to go ahead and try it out myself so i ordered this hard drive and i dont know if im just lucky or if amazon is really paying attention to their packaging because i recieved it yesterday and it was nicely packaged inside a Western Digital box kind of weird considering the HD is by Seagate but anyhow it was tightly secured in the middle of the box with 2 black plastics so it wouldnt bounce around. I bought this for my desktop because my old HD died so i inserted it and installed Windows 7 and its been working perfectly fine. I will try to keep you guys updated on how this HD works out in the future.

It had been years since I had done any computer upgrades. When my hard drive died, I ordered the SATA; needed the IDE. But then learned about the adapters which enabled me to upgrade to a full terrabyte, and with higher speed than any of the more expensive IDE drives still out there. If you're like me, and holding onto an old computer (which works fine for email, internet, picture and music storage) then check into using an SATA to IDE adapter. Four weeks, no problems. Update...several months, still no problems with drive. UPDATING AGAIN: Years later now, still sailing easy.

NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:I've watched the issue with these drives carefully for about 2 months. It looks like Seagate solved the problem and that a vocal few were ever really affected. By few I mean relative to the thousands sold. And I am not defending Seagate. This whole fiasco was unacceptable.MY SYSTEM:I picked up 8 of these drives. I'm running them in 4 separate DLink DNS-321 RAID boxes. I've copied about 4TB of data back and forth across them for days. My only firmware update needed was for the DLink so that it could properly handle the new 1.5TB drives.In the end I believe all is well with both the drives and the DLink DNS-321. I will of course update this review immediately if I see any problems.PERFORMANCE:We are able to watch movies from this drive arrangement on 3 computers simultaneously across a 100mb network from the same drive while adding new files to the drive from a 4th computer.This means I can be adding movies unattended to the system while watching an Epic Man movie on the plasma in the living room... while the kids are watching Monsters Inc in the bedroom... and the wife is off watching some chic flick in the Den. :)The combination of DLink and these 1.5TB drives is fantastic and seems as stable as the WD 1TBs I was using previously.PROPER DIAGNOSIS:Don't confuse your drive DIEING after a week with the previous firmware problems of this particular drive. Blame the vendor that shipped the drive like it could bounce !ON A SIDE NOTE:I will say I am sick of Amazon, Tiger and other vendors shipping hard drives like they are indestructible ROCKS. Even if they arrive working, this inadequate packaging is certainly taking years off the life of our drives. One of my 8 arrived DEAD as a brick thanks to this nonsense. I am furious about this issue !Will it take a class action to stop this behavior of guaranteeing future drive sales by damaging todays drives through deliberate mishandling of our purchases ?! Wake up AMAZON ! Wake up TIGER !UPDATE: Dec 14 2009One year later, I own 22 of these drives now. 12 are running daily in DNS-321 Raid boxes. The other 10 are used as back up drives in a drop in SATA adapter. No failures since 2 in the first few weeks, I believe due to poor packaging. About 6 of my drives came with the BAD firmware. I never had issues with that either. Call me blessed. I just think the DNS-321 and these drives work very well together.UPDATE: Jan 8 2011Another year passes and most of my 1.5TBs have all been pulled from DNS-321 RAID boxes and used as loose backup drives in a drop in SATA adapter. I've replaced them with the larger Seagate 2TB drives for larger capacity. NO FAILURES OF EITHER DRIVE 1.5TB or 2TB ! I have a couple Hitachi's and WD 2TBs. The Seagate drives are quieter and come off sleep in my RAID boxes faster than the other brands. All are used for video streaming over a network and do a fantastic job.TIGER has been shipping drives MUCH BETTER. Amazon packagers have sent me drives packed poorly just 2 months ago. I requested replacements and Amazon handled the no charge exchange well. But they should NOT have been shipped that way.

If this is a quiet drive, I would hate to hear a loud one. This drive came as OEM in my Dell XPS 9100 and while it is fast, passes every diagnostic, it's seek process is extremely LOUD! I am already wishing I had my old Western Digital back. This thing sounds like the Seagate I had in my old 8088 IBM. If this is progress, Seagate has been sounding still. I have already requested a warranty exchange and will let this site know if this drive is an anomaly. Very dissappointed at this point.

A great drive, easily installed in an external enclosure. I had wanted to image my laptop's hard drive and Seagate have a special software available that would do that well. I downloaded it. Unfortunately, the software searched for "installed" Seagate drives, didn't find mine at the end of a USB cable, and refused to run. I used backup, and will have to look for another software to image my disk.

Ever since my mom's HP desktop crashed due to BSOD this June it wouldn't work properly. We tried upgrading to Windows 7 ( it originally ran Vista) but that didn't work at all. It would run right for two weeks and then crash or freeze again, needing Windows 7 to be reinstalled each time. I had enough of this and looked up potential solutions on a IT support forum. Someone recommended that I install a new hard drive since the one that came with the desktop was failing. I ordered this hard drive and and my mother dropped it off at Best Buy to have it installed. Sure enough, her desktop is working just like new again! No more crashing, freezing up or pesky BSOD's! This is a wonderful product and I recommend that any one with a malfunctioning hard drive use this one as a replacement.

All,Barracuda promises few things1. Rotation Speed - for more data transfer2. Lesser heat compared to previous baracudas3. 32 MB Cache offers good data speedI have been using this HDD for almost 6 months now and i am perfectly finewith the fact that it has not given me any problems tilll now.The only problem with 7200 RPM drives is that they are a bit noisy.BUT, this series is comparatively less noisier than some other barracudas.For me, noise is not a big thing to worry as i have put this in a external esata basedenclosure which i connect as a external storage to my PC.Overall, this is a excellent Hard Disk to purchase.I am expecting 7200 RPM and 64 MB Cache series for my next purchase.Its worth a buy when it comes to barracudas!!

I purchased this drive as the primary drive for a new computer that I was building. It is much faster than the IDE drive that it is replacing (the new Quad System helps too). SATA of course, is also faster. However, the new system will accept SATA 6 Gig/sec drives, and it may have been better to hold out for the faster unit. I have absolutely no complaints with the drive so far. Compared to WD drives, I find Seagate (Maxtor) drives to be much more reliable and that is a vitally important consideration.

I ordered a pair of the 1.5TB drives for use in a NAS device, and was horrified when they arrived.Though the description rightly advertises these as "bare drives", there was no packaging/padding inside of the Amazon box at all, meaning that the two drives had rattled and bounced around all the way to my front door.I was hardly surprised when I connected them to find both suffering from click death, necessitating a return and refund. While the price is great, the chance that I'll have to go through several attempts to find two drives in working order is a chance I'm unwilling to take.

I may not be the best person to write a review of this drive because I'm just using it for simple storage of picture and video files, and for that, it's great. Don't know how it would perform in a server or a raid unit, but it does what I need it to do just fine. The only negative is the lack of care with which Amazon packages it and ships it to you...leaves a bit to be desired! The one I got does appear to have survived the experience.
