I liked and bought many seagate hard disks. generally, they are reliable and fast. However, this HD is a very weird one! The BIOS would stuck at the booting, because it was fighting to recognize the HD. this is the second HD in my PC. so, I install it as an external HD, turn it off to boot my system. After booting, I turn it back on, the HD shows up in winXP. BTW, my motherboard is ASUS P5LD2-VM. I bought this HD at local BestBuy for $79.90, which sounded like a good deal!

I have windows Vista and when I attempted to install as a backup hard drive it wanted to make it a mirror image drive. Then I got a message that the drive was DEGRADED and have to take my computer to an expert to have it installed right. Plan on doing that next week and hope everything works as I want it. I will update my review when I get it fixed.

Generally I am very happy with the drive, so much so that this is the second one that I have purchased. I do have a gripe, and it is a serious one. It doesn't concern the drive but rather the Acronis/Seagate DiscWizard software that comes bundled with the drive. One of the functions of this application is to create an image backup of the drive in the event your data becomes corrupted. The application can the recall the backup image of your drive and you are as good as new. If you have used Norton Ghost, the function is identical. Using this application I made a backup of my OS. I have only one hard drive in this computer, and its the Seagate. After making the image I cross-checked its integrity with the application, so everything was fine. However, when I had to use the backup image, the Acronis application did not recognize the Seagate drive and thus would not allow me to restore my backup. The only way I could use my backup was to buy the full Acronis version, which is not restricted to Seagate drives. Maybe this is just a foul up, but it sure smells like a BAIT AND SWITCH. It is particularly annoying because depending on the importance of your backup, you may have no choice but to buy Acronis application.

The first thing to be mentioned, is that no one can rightfully complain about not having 1TB of storage, every drive, for the longest time is rated raw. When I formatted mine to NTFS it was 931.5GB, about 20GB more than I even expected.The second thing to understand, is every drive model, from every manufacturer, has a pretty standard, and somewhat high, DOA (here I am considering DOA as literally dead on arrival, and 1 week and under) rate. If you receive a DOA, rate the replacement, or the service you received. If you get two DOA's, or get a replacement that is DOA; complain freely.I have my drive (I have the exact drive, except I purchased it OEM) inside a Nexstar 3 enclosure (capable of recognizing all 1TB) via esata (you can use USB 2.0 with this enclosure as well). The esata run into my Asus G2S-B2 via a Rosewill Expresscard32 2-port esata expansion. In short, the performance I received, will reflect SATAII internal performance Identically.The first thing to do, if your sata controller can handle auto-negotiation, is to remove the tiny gray jumper entirely, this will increase your burst performance.Seq. Write - 70 MB/s Seq. Read - 105 MB/s Buffered Write - 59 MB/s Buffered Read - 62 MB/s Random Reading - 54 MB/s This drive is faster than the kin Seagate inside my laptop as the main disk. For those of you who can't use it internally or through esata, you will not see this kind of performance, the theoretical throughput of USB 2.0 is almost half the seq. read.These tests are run through PC Wizard 2008, important, with the jumper installed. I didn't wish to assume people know what it is and know if their sata controller can use it removed. The performance is slightly better, but nothing substantial, without the jumper (it effectively dubs the drive down to sata 1).I've basically torture tested this drive since I received it almost a month ago, it is perfect. Generally, I've found, drives fail sooner than later; this drive will most likely serve me for quite some time.I recommend this drive over any other, if the performance is not higher (Hitachi's are snoozfest), then the fail rate is much much lower (Samsung's new 1TB is notoriously bad, unacceptably high fail rate). etc.

Is it even possible for a single human being to accumulate 1TB of digital stuff worth storing? Honestly, I'm not really sure what to do with this much hard-drive. I'll just have to start hording pornography and downloading pirated movies.1TB is a huge capacity. Even our small office has yet to fill more than 250GB of our 1TB Server storage. Still, I've found its easier to buy more disk space than I'll need anytime soon and consolidating all my stuff on one drive. It's a little riskier, that's true, but if you have data you don't want to lose then you should be making backups anyway.BTW, this is a great price for the product. The local BB had the 16mb cache version for $180.00, and I was about to grab it but I checked on Amazon first and found the 32mb cache for just a few dollars more. Sweet deal.Seagate has a reputation as a reliable brand for storage drives, and I find they tend to run better than Maxtor and other "bargain" brands. That doesn't mean they won't crash on you, but it might improve your chances of getting a sturdy product.If you're worried about shipping, just remember that these drives don't show up in your local retail outlet's receiving bay nestled on soft pillows held aloft by angels. The Seagate packaging is tight, and the Amazon box is the usual deal with the plastic air packets. Good enough.Make sure you actually have a SATA connection. This is different from the usual 19-pin deal. Most new computers will use SATA, but if you're not sure what you've got then check it out before you toss this in the cart.

Sadly I must write a one star review on this product. I've been a Seagate Customer for years, but not happy with this drive.Initially I purchsed it for installation in my DVR - 24/7 usage. At first it seemed okay, but after a month or so, I noticed some slow downs & hiccups on the DVR. Finally in Mid November my DVR was behaving like it was possessed; culminating in me waking up one morning to the DVR rebooting endlessly trying to repair itself, finally ending in what's known as the green screen of death.A surface scan & SMART error code checking; the drive was failing in a massive way, more than 30% of the surface was testing as failed. I can probably format it and get more life out of it; but I have no faith in it. I purchased Seagate ST31000340AS 1TB Barracuda Sata 7200 Rpm 32MB Cache 8.5MS Hard Drive instead. I also noticed that my DVR is performing faster than it ever did with this drive; so something could have been wrong from the outset.Since I'm not within the 30 day return period and not messing with the manufacturer return or RMA process hassle, I've eaten the cost of this drive.It may have been the 24/7 environment, but you'd think with the higher priced version of this drive it would perform well -- it didn't.

This drive does essentially what you need it to. The installation was easy and the software included kind of makes it easier. This is about my fifth hard drive in my current PC and so far no problems. Price wise it may be better to go with a terabyte instead since programs are getting bigger and bigger. I have almost filled this one up with back ups of current things I have and I find myself wishing I had the larger drive instead. I have had it for about six or seven months now and no problems. I have read a lot of reviews and some were bad and I have really gathered that hard drives are good or not they will fail or not. I have never had a hard drive fail yet so I know my chances are getting better for it to happen. So far no problems with this drive and if it does occur I will update this. Overall give it a buy since the price is very nice but like I said a terabyte is nicer.

I bought this for my Antec Sonata III case, planing on a very quiet pc. I was so a little disapointed on the noice level. As the description says "whisper quiet", it isnt reallt that quiet.You wouldn't really hear anything if you have your fans making all the noice, but since all my fans are very quiet, I do hear this hard disk above all other, and it was very anoying the first few days. But after a while I got used to it and know dont hear a thing.For a 500GB Seagate HD you can hardly get a better price, so I recommend this product.

Be careful with this drive, Seagate has a known problem with many of it's recent Baracuda High Capacity Hard Drives, where after 3-6 months, the drive simply fails to boot.If you purchase this drive, you must go to the [..] site and use the drive detect software they offer there to see what version of firmware is on your drive. If there is an updated version of firmware then you need to flash update your drive.If you are uncomfortable doing this, then i would suggest buying another vendor's drive.The master seagate forum thread discussing these problems is here: [..] (well over a thousand messages).You can also do a search for "ST3100034AS problems" on google.

Seagate stands behind this product with a 5 year warrantee. I've tried all the brands over the years, both IDE, SATA and SCSI, and nobody makes failure proof disk drives. I've sent back drives to everyone. SCSI will last you much longer with better performance, but at a much higher price point. I have six of these in various machines and they're quite satisfactory. You will probably be looking at 1TB models after summer 2008, but there are some heat and noise issues some report with those units. These are satisfactory in that regard. SATA is an improvement in some respects, but not hugely different in performance from IDE on most machines.

I purchased this drive in September '08 and it crashed less than two months later. No warning signs--drive just failed. I was shocked because the Seagate name was highly recommended by a friend. Sure, the drive had an extra-long warranty and sure this could happen with any brand, but still a major pain in the ### dealing wih the aftermath. Fortunately I had all of my info backed up on an external HD. Less than two months out of this drive is ridiculous, after all, this is not a no-name company. Strangely enough, the drive that failed before this one was a Maxtor (which is also manfactured by Seagate). Seagate's customer service was not very helpful.

I purchased this Seagate 1TB harddrive from Amazon, it arrived within a few days. It was snuggled in a larger amazon box with a few air-pillows keeping it secure.I was a little disappointed the drive doesn't read as a full TB, but I guess thats okay.The drive was easy to install, open the computer case, discharge any static electricity from your fingers then install the new drive with a screw driver. Plug the sata cable into your harddrive and the other end to the correct sata port on your motherboard.Plug in the power cable to the harddrive then turn on your computer.Use the seagate disc to install the tools you need to set up the harddrive. Select if you want it as a boot drive or just a secondary drive, then set the partition sizes. Thats about it.I used the tools to clone my original boot drive then in bios set the drive to boot up and everything went smoothly with no problems...I highly recommend this drive, it has plenty of space for pictures and downloaded video.

This drive has been nothing short of amazing throughout the six months that I've owned and used it. It's very quiet, ultra-fast and extremely reliable. I've had two Western Digital HDD's and one Hitachi that failed very early. I'd like to get my jab in by saying that both of their customer support numbers and sites were worthless. I've never had to use Seagate's.I currently have this HDD mounted in my Klegg MediaShare (I love this thing!) unit. I've backed up approximately 360 of my DVD's (ISO format) to it using DVD Fab Platinum and DVD Shrink 3.2 and can now downsize my storage space for the originals to four 100-disc spindles instead of three media cabinets. I highly recommend both products as they are both high quality. Seagate is the only brand that I've had truly had success with over the years and I consider myself a loyal customer because of their reliability and performance.

I have had two of these drives fail. Neither had more than 30 hours of use. In fact I barely had all my applications installed. What was really nice was finding out the second one failed the morning of April 15 when I was attempting to boot up and submit my tax return.Very disappointing. They'll send me another drive but I'll not be installing my operating system or any critical files on it. Just too unreliabe. In fact I don't even know what I'm going to do with it. Seems silyy to have a back drive you have to backup onto another drive.I don't do any gaming or use any apps that place high demand on the hard drive. In fact the computer hasn't even been plugged in for three months. I used to like Seagate but they have lost a customer for life. When two units fail like this in less than 80 hours total use I believe its a pretty good indication of how good the product is.I should have listened to the reviewers before buying. But in the old days I had a Seagate last ten years without fail so my judgment was clouded. Clearly quality is a thing of the past with Seagate. These drives effectively wasted 30+ hours of my life.Buy this drive if you like to talk to people in India otherwise try another vendor.

Head crash at nine months. Hard drive had four fans to keep it cool, so was operating just above room temperature. Zero shocks to the drive (unless they occurred in shipping before I got it, of course). I wonder if these are designed based on Maxtor mechanisms (some of which were prone to heads breaking off due to a design flaw). Either way, my trust in Seagate drives just went way down....It sounded like low frequency hum and high frequency whine as the head etched a groove in the media. By the time the dd to clone the drive to a spare was finished, the drive was completely unreadable (including the parts that I'd already read).Edited 9/25/2011: I just lost the drive that Seagate sent to replace that one, also to a (mechanical) head crash. I wish I knew when I wrote this review so I could say how long it lasted, but at this point, I can safely conclude that this drive series is *seriously* mechanically flawed. Seagate, recall this piece of junk.

Yes, some people are going to have troubles with hard drives. No matter WHAT brand you buy, there's going to be some bad/loud/finicky drives here and there. Yes, I've had at least one of these drives die, but I've bought LOTS of hard drives from various manufacturers and have had some bad luck with ALL of them.However, Seagate is the only one who gives a 5-year warranty on all of their drives, retail or bare OEM. Western Digital only recently started offering up to 3-year warranties (on Retail packages), which is the best warranty length of any of the other drive manufacturers. The only complaint I'd have in this aspect is that Seagate is a bit slower to RMA bad drives than they used to be.Just a tip...DON'T put 400GB+ hard drives into poorly-ventilated external USB/Firewire enclosures (ones w/ internal fans recommended). Oh...and REGULARLY BACK UP IMPORTANT DATA!Anyway, don't listen to the anti-Seagate people...just because they haven't had another brand die on them (yet) is just luck of the draw.

After my WD My Book crashed with all my major files, I wanted to get a good harddrive that was reliable, fast, large capacity, quiet, and did I say reliable? I read many reviews on this Seagate 500GB Barracuda model, and decided to go with it. After getting 2 duds (OEM HD's) from another "eggcelent" online store, I basically gave up on it. I tried a 3rd time, and got it from here... and could not be happier with my choice. For the extra $10, I got a brand new, sealed haddrive with the full 5 year warranty. The harddrive itself is excellent and quite small. The SATA is super fast compared to ATA. Not only does it transfer my files in a flash, but the noise is whisper quiet. I read some reviews that this particular model is quite noisy when it writes, but I think those are just bad models, because mine is barely noticeable even when I'm transferring Gigs worth of data. I partitioned my drive in 2 parts, and have not had any problems with it thus far. If you're looking for a large storage HD with a small price, I highly recommend you go with this one.I haven't shopped much on Amazon before, but I was blown away by their service. Free super saving, which stated it would arrive in 9-15 days or something, delivered to my door in 2! I am very satisfied with the product and the service.PS. I don't work for Amazon nor am I trying to suck up to them... I was just really impressed with their speedy service.

I guess this was some sort of problem from the manufacturer. Really weird. I open the box and I saw all the cables and labels for a SATA disk. But it was really an PATA. The most strange thing was that the Hard Drive label said that it was a SATA drive, but the ports were PATA for sure. I can't really tell you if the disk is good or bad, but never in my life I've seen this. I return the item and bought another brand to make sure it won't happen again. I must say that this is not amazons fault, but the manufacturers. I'm waiting for my refund as we speak.

Well, I purchased this for my HP Media Vault NAS device (which I love, and is the subject of a separate review), as one of the only drawbacks of the Media Vault design is that it has no redundacy.Doing a search for the best price / performance ratio, I selected the Seagate Barracuda drive. Also, as a note to potential purchasers of a second drive for the Media Vault, there are a number of drives that it will not work with. Since there are no incompatibilites with the Seagate drives (seems to be mostly Western Digital drives that won't work), that also helped me pick this model. It works fine with the MV. You can choose to install it as an additional 500 GB of storage, for a total of 1 TB, or add it as a mirror as I did, giving you a total of 500 GB of redundant storage. Now I finally have the peace of mind to fill this sucker up and not worry that I'm going to lose my entire digital life in one hard drive crash. The odds are very low that both drives will fail at the same time. Also, and I didn't know this at the time of purchase, but this is the exact model that already shipped with my MV, so I now have a mirror of two of the exact model drive. Cool! If HP likes it, then it's good enough for me.

The XP installer didn't recognize the drive, so I added an older 80Gb ATA drive and installed XP on that. From there, I ran the Seagate installer disc, and voila, the Seagate drive showed up.

I bought this drive to replace a smaller backup drive in my desktop computer about a month ago. My operating system is Ubuntu. Selected folders are automatically backed up daily as a cron function using rdiff. The normal computer fans are loud enough to drown out the noise that this drive makes. My only experience is having it installed as a backup drive which is normally inactive but as such it runs quite cool which would indicate a small power draw.

This drive isn't going to knock anybody's socks off with its speed -- it's only marginally faster than my 200 GB PATA drive -- but for $120, it's a whole lot of space. It also has a jumper setting to restrict it to 150 MB/s if you have a board with a Via chipset (as I do) that can not negotiate with a 300 MB/s drive. I have not yet attempted to use the included software, but it does claim to be able to clone your existing drive if you want to replace rather than supplement your existing drive.It's not particularly fast, but neither is it slow. It's fairly quiet, but not the quietest. It does run a bit warm, but not enough to worry me. It's a working class hard drive in all ways, just a very big one. If that's what you are looking for, you won't be disappointed by this drive.

It's a very good drive, under Vista/XP it sounds like it's doing a lot of read/write, even when the system is idle, but you can live with it. It's not an issue with the drive, since if you run it on any linux distribution, the drive doesn't sound at all, even under heavy read/write operations. I think the sound is related to an OS issue...

Got it in the mail, attached it to my PCI card, booted up and is dead. Called Seagate and they said return it.

Purchased this HD to get a little more space, and it does that, but man is this thing loud. That being said, it will probably last forever, like most Seagates I've owned.

I originally bought two of these bad boys to put into a NAS (network attached storage) that was going to be tucked away in a closet. Well the NAS (linksys) was a bust (returned it since it was so slow). I kept the drives and put them in my HP computer as a RAID-1 (mirrored) pair. They are fast but do click a bit as the heads do their reading ans writing. Overall a good buy and reliable so far.

Bought 2nd drive for raid 1. I am pleased but notice as I did with the 1st drive that they are somewhat noisy, but bearable. The included utilities disk is a winner.
