Purchased on Amazon from Source Media Group and I am extremely dissappointed with this vendor (no place to leave feedback, so I am doing it here). I have used these drives in the past so my complaint isn't specific to the product as i am happy with it and sorry that these drives are now hard to find. I purchased (2) drives from Source Media Group . They arrived timely and were packaged well. Unfortunately after completing the install into my NAS (which took a long time for reasons to become apparent in a second) I check out the stats on the specific drives sold to me and noticed that they were "used" drives and contained many errors. I'll spare you all of the stats, but one drive had been Powered On 282 Times and Used for 69.42 DAYS and the second drive had been Powered On only 29 Times but USED FOR 765.375 DAYS. I find this completely unacceptable and feel sorry for those happy customers heading for a big surprise when their drives crash early only to assume that their specific drive is defective or just made poorly. So again, NON TECHIE BEWARE of SOURCE MEDIA GROUP sales on Amazon...

My Seagate Lemon came in a HPE-250f from HP with a Core i7 package. It lasted about a month....just long enough to get all my data & programs loaded into the "Seagate Trap". After the usual 2 hour long back and forth with the HP Rep. from some other world, he agreed to send another drive....which was a Hitachi brand. Now a year later, I'm faced with the same dilema, but this time I was smart enough to have an external HD backup drive.

Died after 16 months (bought 1/2010). Has a 5 year warranty, so I returned it with a RMA. They shipped me back a CERTIFIED REPAIRED HDD with a 44 month warranty. Why should I expect longer/better life out of a repaired unit than a new one? BTW, repaired unit was repaired March 2010. Seagate isn't building any kind of Consumer Confidence in their products or customer service. I put the REPAIRED HDD unit in as backup storage and went with a different manufacturer for the primary drive. I should have known better...back in 2008, my HP M9250F review points out the original Seagate drive in that HP went out after 2 months, and HP replaced it with a different manufacturer! I had totally forgotten about that! To be fair to Seagate, the unit did work great, right up to the point when it failed (a quarter way into the warranty period).

I was looking for two 1.5TB drives to put in a NAS and setup in a RAID1 array. I decided to go with Seagate (again) because of their 5-year warranty; I mean, if you can warranty your product for 5 years, then supposedly it should be good, right? Wrong! The first issue I had with these drives is that they would just appear to die when trying to write or read large files to/from them. Turned out this was a firmware issue. Really?! I can understand upgrading the firmware in a Wireless Router, or a NAS, but a hard drive?! I know it's not unheard of, but it's verrrry rare and a pain the you-know-what! Anyways, they both worked perfectly after upgrading the firmware... They actually got SOMETHING right! heheIt has now been just over two years that I've been using these drives and one of them has already started to fail... This seems to be typical of Seagate drives. I've had it happen before, and now it's happening again! I would RMA it, but I'm not in the US so the cost of shipping it back to Seagate is almost the same as buying a new drive. I think the reason for this is that Seagate drives in general tend to run quite hot. These drives are 7200 RPM so you can expect them to get warm, but they get HOT!I think this time I'll go with Samsung's 2TB drives. I've read some good reviews on them.

Ordered this over a year ago during Amazon's Black Friday deals for $30 and she's still humming along just fine.I'm not super into speed or anything. I just needed extra space, I needed it cheap and I needed it quickly.This item delivered.

The version of ST315003 41AS that arrived on my door step had firmware version CC1H which Seagate recommends to leave alone (and I have). To quote the manufacturer: "Note: If your drive has CC firmware, your drive is not affected and no further action is required. Attempting to flash the firmware of a drive with CC firmware will result in rendering your drive inoperable." and "Use our serial number check utility before applying this firmware update." I suggest you follow the recommendations before blindly updating due to the early history of firmware problems.I use the drive as an external back-up drive on my iMac with Time Machine. It gets mounted on a BlacX Thermaltake eSATA + USB 2.0 device when I want to back up my machine. The drive is surprisingly quiet even with no enclosure. The mechanism gets quite warm to the touch if left in the BlackX for hours (there are other posts suggesting mitigations), but for my purposes the drive won't be powered on indefinitely). The packaging was OK. The mechanism itself was packaged a box about an inch larger in each dimension than the drive itself and suspended with a couple of plastic caps (like one of the user-provided pictures). The BlackX was in its own box, and both boxes sat in a larger box which could have contained 3x the stuff with the voids loosely filled with the plastic air bladders. The disk drive was in one corner of the box, the BlackX in the other. There was a definite shaking opportunity. However, the boxes were all blemish-free with no apparent internal damage. I don't use this as an internal drive with an interface that exploits the speed of the drive, so I can't comment on the performance other than it is quiet, reliable (thus far), of a great value, and more than meets my application's expectations.

I just purchased 4 of these to add to a raid. One has failed before completing the reshape/resync process. I have 11 (well, 10 working, one dead) in a Linux Raid6. Given the reliability experiance, I guess it's a good thing I chose the Level 6 instead of the level 5.I have a total of 12 of these drives from different times. I got 7 in late 2009, and one failed after about 8000 hrs. The controller locked up and wouldn't respond. I replaced it and just attempt to add 4 more. One failed at 75 hours, with smart errors logged indicating unrecoverable read errors, and sector reallocation also failed. THere are six UNC errors in the smart log within the same hour, and the linux system log shows a period of about 12 hours after the first failure where the driver is attempting to reset the controller and the link, and finds the drive still fails a read request. Finally, the Raid booted it out - this was no short term attempt to correct the error - it took around 12 hours.The firmwares are all in the CC1 series, with the latest having CC1H. That is not supposed to be the firmware that causes the Raid problems.FYI, the drives are set with a 30 minute idle time to power down. When I'm not home, the drives all spin down, but the long timeout means that they only cycle a couple of times a day. So the usage is just about what Seagate recommends for these drives. For over twice the money, the XT series is available, but that gets pricey.So I'm exchanging it with Amazon. They have a great replacement policy! Thanks, Amazon.

These drives have a very high failure rate. I built a server for work using 45 of these in a single 4U server with plenty of cooling and i have already had 6 of them fail in the last year. If i didnt already have 45 of these, i would go with a different model drive!

I had 3 of these disks on a Windows 7 System setup in a Dynamic Spanned configuration before I started to have problems. I wasn't running anything to watch the disk because I didn't realize they would start failing so quickly. 2 of the 3 disks run very hot, 40-48C moving them around doesn't change this. My WD 1.5 tb disks run around 30C in the same locations. One SG disk had 422 relocated blocks at this point. My disk monitor is predicting this disk will die in 60 hours but Windows 7 just lists it as healthy. The volume has gone offline on me twice and it took me a while to figure out which disk was failing since I couldn't get much information from Windows 7. In fact it looked like one of the other ones was failing from what I could see so get some sort of disk monitor, even if it's just a freebee anything will save you a lot of time and trouble. It took me over 14 hours to run a chkdsk on the volume under Windows 7 and the first time it died and took the volume offline. With Spinrite(level 2) I could run the disks one at a time in about 4 hours and it told me everything about the drives. All 3 SG disks produce millions of ECC errors when I check them with Spinrite 6. None of my WD 1.5 tb disks produce more then a few hundred ECC errors under the same tests. All 3 of these SG disks produce a lot of seek errors and reformatting them doesn't seem to lower anything. Until I put up some disk monitor software I wasn't aware of the large differences between the SG an WD disks. I'm using all of mine for media storage and I don't care that much about speed, but the SG disks are faster then the WD(Green) disks I am using. I had picked the SG's because I got a deal, but it looks like maybe I didn't. The SG's have had a lot of problems and the ones I have are -202's which are suppose to have all the problems solved. I thought I had tested all of these disks well enough before I put them into service as they were not showing any problems until about a week ago, of course by then they had been in my media server for 3 weeks. There doesn't seem to be anyway to remove a disk from a dynamic volume set so I suggest you use at least Raid5 if your going to use these disks. I don't mind loosing my data as I have it all backed up but it's a pain to have to restore 3.5 tb's no matter how you look at it. I had planned on getting 8 of these but I think I will stop at 3 and move to as none of my WD's have given me any problems and the disks seem to work fine even mixed with the working SG.

My fiance got a new computer, and before it came I backed everything from her old computer onto my 1TB hard drive that I was using as an external solution temporarily. I bought the drive for 40 dollars and should have used something more reliable apparently. When the new computer came, I plugged in the hard drive only to find that one of the heads had failed and that I would be unable to retrieve anything from the drive, including all of my fiance's data (the other computer was reformatted and returned).Avoid this one if you enjoy being in relationships. It's been two weeks and she still won't talk to me. For $40, it was a good investment, but I wouldn't put any faith in it. All estimates for data recovery have been upwards of $1,500.

Mine came with a Dell XPS 8300 desktop. Shut it down friday and booted up on sunday with the computer not even seeing the drive. I opened the case and heard slow stead beep coming from the HDD. Checking online I see it is a common occurrence. I'm getting it replaced but will demand a different manufacture. Staying away from Seagate now.

When I first got this and installed it in my PC case, it made sounds like someone inside was on a typewriter. This started after I got Windows installed -- probably about 20 minutes into the life of the HDD. I interpreted this as the dreaded "click of death" I've read about but thankfully have never experienced. I got an RMA, took it out the of the PC case and to the post office to figure out the cheapest way to return ship it. When I got it back home I realized I hadn't erased it so I quickly hooked it up to another PC to wipe it, just leaving it to lie outside the case. Surprisingly, it was silent. I ran SeaTools and HD Tune Pro on the drive and didn't get any errors. The drive came back perfect.So, I am now thinking what I thought was a bad HDD was probably just the mounting in the case somehow? Anyway, it seems to be fine now. I don't trust it to be an OS drive so I'll probably put it in an enclosure to be used as a media backup drive.I can't say I've ever had this experience with a HDD. I don't really know what to make of it.-- UPDATE 5/26/2011 --This drive is still going strong in another case as a back-up drive. I have had no errors or problems with it. I've since tried other hard drives in the enclosure this drive was in and those drives do not make the same noises. It's still a mystery why this particular drive rattled/vibrated in that case while others do not.

My drive went out within warranty and i had to talk to a manager just to get them to agree to replace it cus i got it on here and not directly through them, then they wanna send me a refurbished drive and i say no, i bough t a new one and it broke i want another new one, cus thats what i paid for.. they say yes then no then yes then no it was so rediculous very long story short took them about 4 months for me to receive the replacement they promised me.. totally ridiculous and they tried to get out of it a few times too.. It would take a few pages for me to tell you how bad my experience was and exactly why.. I will never buy Seagate again because if something does go wrong they don't want to help even after they say they will they just tried to jerk me around until I give up, and i didnt but it did cost me four months of not having a backup hard drive when i needed one and hours on the phone with them... Absolutely Terrible Service!!!

Bought as replacement for dead imac drive. Works fine. But you will need to get a software fix for out of control fan speeds if replacing the original drive. (firmware issue)

This drive is quite fast (SATA II). I have had good luck with Seagate drives though this one is being used to replace another Seagate drive (only 18 moths old). The old drive did not actually fail... it just got warnings on two different hard drive tests. I think that the old drive may have been the victim of excessive heat. The problem might have been related to the old hard drive not getting a full format by the PC manufacturer (the drive came with a custom built PC). I always do a full format on new drives, thus the fact that this new drive had never been formatted (part of "bare") was not a problem.Have only had the new Seagate 1.5 TB drive for a few weeks but have had no problems with speed or data loss. It has required no maintenance, including defragmenting, and I use the drive for video work (tough on fragmentation); full size/length videos, not just internet publications.I would recommend this drive at this point... will update after I have been using this hard drive for awhile.

When the hard drive stopped working in my parents' Dell XPS 420, I wanted to find a relatively low-cost replacement to get them back up and running. This Seagate Barracuda was an upgrade in pretty much every way (320gb to 500gb, 5400rpm to 7200rpm). Thanks to the way Dell has set up their cases (a great improvement over previous-generation Dells, which were almost inaccessible), it was a breeze to get this baby in and up and running. I had the hard drive in the case and ready to install Windows in just a few minutes.The hard drive is relatively quiet (though not completely silent), and it has plenty of space for anything my parents need to use it for. It's only been in use for a few weeks, so I can't comment on the longevity of this product, but from all appearances it should hold up fine. I've purchased Seagate products in the past with no problems.If you're in the market for a replacement hard drive, for the price you'd be foolish not to consider the Seagate Barracuda line.

I own several Seagate drives, from 7200.9 through the latest 7200.12, in 40GB to 1TB sizes (the 7200.12 is 1TB). I recently swapped out one of my HTPC 160GB drives for the 1TB Barracuda (just for capacity, not because it failed). The drive is dedicated to my HTPC's DVR/PVR app (SnapStream's BeyondTV) which I use on a daily basis.Why am I telling you all this? Because my HTPC records and plays multiple (and often simultaneous) high-definition feeds (yep, all the way up to 1080i) onto or from this 1TB Barracuda, and it has never failed (nor, for that matter, have any of my previous Seagate drives used for the same purpose).So it's fast enough to keep up with 3 simultaneous HD streams (2 recording, 1 playback), and super quiet. Well I do hear it spin up from dormant mode, but after that I can't hear it (the motherboard fan in my chassis is louder! I temporarily shut down the fan and couldn't hear the 1TB drive!).The drive has been running day in day out for about 3 months now, and based on this and my experience with the other drives, it seems it's got a long ways to go!

Received the all four disks within 5 days using the no cost shipping, very nice. Plugged 4 drives into my TR8M Sans Digtal storage, intialized as as GPT (GUID) type via windows disk manager. Created parity raid 5 partition via San Digital and got a single 4 terabyte partion using windows disk manager to format. No problem with about 4 minutes taken between install and quick format to complete. Windows Vista 32 bits running AHCI, Intel q9450, 2 gigs memory, Gigabye x48-DQ6 with San Digital TR8M eSata external storage.I did read about others having problems with same drive with previous BIOS level. My disks were all the latest version of disk firmware (CC1H) and have no problems using my San Digital RAID 5 setup. I have already loaded up about 2 terabytes of the 4 terabytes available (1 drive for parity) using raid 5 with no problems. Drives just as fast as my older and smaller 7200 RPM drives from seagate in RAID mode. To date the drives are problem free, noiseless and very engery efficient during operation and boot. I monitor the San Digial storage via KillaWatt. No spikes at boot and very low watts (about 20-30 watts) per hour for the 8 drive San Digital box with 4 of 8 drives being the newer 1.5 terabyes type.

I bought this HDD when it was on sale for $45 so it was definitely worth the money. However, even at $66 (what it's going for at the time I'm writing this) I would still recommend buying this drive.I read these reviews before purchasing, so the very first thing I did after I installed the drive was update the firmware. It was a relatively painless process that took only a few minutes and worked great. Just make sure you follow the directions that are posted on the Seagate website. I have another Seagate hard drive installed on the same computer before buying this one, and thought that maybe it would cause problems with the firmware upgrade because it automatically detects your Seagate hard drive and does it all automatically. I didn't want the wrong hard drive to get the upgrade if it wasn't compatible, or ignore the new hard drive, etc.. but there were no problems. It detects which hard drive(s) is/are compatible and upgrades the firmware accordingly.I have had absolutely no problems with this drive since I've had it and considering how easy upgrading the firmware was, I've given this product a five star review. It's pretty fast, very quiet, and has plenty of space. Now only if the SSD's were this affordable...

The first hard drive died in about 18 months, and after RMA, the second one died within a week. This is totally unacceptable! Seagate makes you pay shipping to send the hard drive back, and so it is a waste of money.

This device freed up my computer to run faster. I moved all my windows folders to this data drive and in the process emptied about 1/2 the space on the C: drive. This has resulted in much faster performance on my primary drive. This drive holds a lot of data and can be a good backup to your primary drive. Simply backup windows to this drive and if your primary crashes then you can restore the backup. It installed quickly but took almost 4 hours to do a full format on the drive. It is not a fast access drive but is great for saving pictures, documents, and videos. I have also put most of my games on this drive also. When asked where to install the game you simply change the C: in the path to whatever letter is being used for this drive. In my case "C:/program files/GameX/" becomes "E:/program files/GameX/". If your system has the proper amount of RAM then this process will start the games a little slower, but improve overall PC performance.
