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.

I just purchased this drive and I cannot understand the reports that this drive is noisy. I think the noise must come from the enclosure vibrating and not from the drive.It is so quiet I had to check to be sure it was powered up. I had to listen very carefully to even hear this drive during head seeks.The DisWizard software, which is included, makes disk management and cloning the system so simple.For the price, you cannot find a better hard drive!

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.

Just a little over 3 weeks old and it died. Seagate's poor overseas tech support, of no help, they offer to send a `refurbished' drive (a used one) to replace what I purchased NEW. Called Seagate Corporate, no help, selecting numbers to more automated script recorded voices. No option to get to a real person or a operator. Good bye Seagate, poor service, poor drive. Save your money. Run from this company.

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.

This is my second electronics product from Amazon that was packed loose in the box.Unfortunately Amazon completely ignored the fact that this product is very sensitive to shock and packed it with just a touch of packing material. The product was loose in the box, bobbing all over.For now I have gingerly installed the drive, but if it fails it will be Amazon's sloppy handling.Mind you I pay Amazon for prime membership and related handling fees.I strongly urge people to stay away from ordering electronics product from Amazon. They are apparently trying to save some money by skipping the packing material. It will increase the likelihood that your electronics products will FAIL MORE EASILY and MORE OFTEN.Do not Buy Electronics from Amazon !!!

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 have purchased two of these now - I can't say enough. They are easy to install as both a backup drive and a fresh build. Fast as lightning and lots of room!

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.

I needed a second drive for my workstation, and it was pretty much a choice between Western Digital and Seagate. This one seemed the best in terms of value and size. I may be building an external storage array in the near future, and I'll probably buy this drive again.

I installed this drive three weeks ago and so far so good. The software provided by Seagate is good but didn't help me with transferring my system from my old drive to the new drive. The software does not support dynamic disks.The drive is a bit noisy, but not enough to bother this guy. The drive comes with a 5 year warranty, something the competition doesn't come close to. This is an excellent drive for storing your movies and mp3 files.

Bought four of these to use in a RAID. All four of the boxes had PN: 98D648 - 550 on the box. When I installed one of the drives it was smaller than the others. PN on smaller drive's label was 98J146 - 308 and it was called a Barracuda 7200.10. Larger drives were Barracuda 7200.11 9BX154 - 303 on the drive label. Returned it and will check the replacement when it arrives.7/3/08 Received replacement drive and it was Barracuda 7200.11 9BX154 - 303.

I bought 2 of these drives for my Drobo, and they work wonderfully! Plenty of space, quick, quiet, incredibly reliable - what more can you ask for in a hard drive?

I installed the Seagate 500Gb SATA using Windows XP Pro x64. Installing the hardware was easy enough as all cables were included. 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'm still putting my new system through its paces, so we'll see how it fares as I add software.

Installing this hard drive was simple and quick. Seagate has done a good job at making the transfer of information from the old hard drive to the new one. It took me about 1/2 hour for the whole process.

I can't believe how loud this drive is. It's very difficult to concentrate on editing with this thing screaming after every thing I do. Opening a browser or simply exploring the C drive is deafening. Now some applications are freezing. I'm returning this.

When running vista this thing grinds away so much you will need to turn up the TV just to hear it over the idol computer.I ended up buying a western digital again. Now my computer is so quiet I cannot hear it run. The guy at Fry's said western digital was going down in quality as an excuse why they don't stock it anymore. All I really care about is being able to keep my sanity by stopping the grinding.

Seagate drives are usually high quality, and I have no reason to think that this one isn't, but it is quite noisy, and at a high frequency that really irritates me. It's so maddening that I'm considering unplugging the drive, and only reconnecting it once a month for backups.

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.
