I was attempting to order a 500GB drive. The first order I shipped back because I received a 1.5TB drive. Amazon reshipped the order and the same 1.5TB drive came back, so I decided to give it a try and it appears to work. I think that there is a stocking number mismatch somewhere in the Amazon system. Overall the service for returning the product was prompt and easy to follow. Who knows, maybe the 1.5TB drive will work out better in the long run.

using it for over couple of years with usb sata dock, doing good job.one important thing in using disks for longtime is don't move them often and don't move them during the operation.I cannot comment any thing on speeds, because i didn't measure them, but over all my feeling is i am getting good speeds during file transfers and during video editing reading or writing to the disk.:)

This drive was ordered as a replacement drive after one of these failed in my NAS due to power failure (Actually, daughter with a flat iron). I received it quickly and it installed and was up in seconds. The other drive is still going strong.

I'd completely skip the Seagate lineup. Run. Seriously.I had three Seagate drives fail (the next replaced it's predecessor) in about a year's time. If you're wondering, I work at a university and we're encouraged to buy through purchase orders locally. And that meant Seagate.So three drives failed. Yes, that counts as a statistical anomaly. It deserves a fine googling. Some people tried to tell me my computer case didn't have the proper air flow or that my external casing's power supply hurt the drive. (NUH UH on each account).Other people pointed me out to a firmware problem with a large group of Seagate drives. The drives can enter a limbo BSY state that bricks the drive even though physically there is nothing wrong with it. It can be cured with a very technical low-level serial com with the controller board. (Which I actually did for kicks. It's kind of cool.)Seagate acknowledges the problem. They have a serial number search. Armchair quarterbacks estimate the failure is on 25% of their lineup. Not sure. Wouldn't take the chance. They won't fix OEM drives. They will do the low level repair thing for retail drives if your serial number comes up in their search page.This kind of mass failure of hard disks happened once before oddly enough. It was with Hitachi/IBM's DeskStar lineup, properly monikered "DeathStar." Google it if you'd like. But anyway, for the time being, Run Away! Run Away!

I'm in the IT industry and have had installed, swaped, formated hundreds of hard drives in my life. Hard drive failure is normal, and it's expected. What I've found out is that MTBF that manufacturers publish has very little correlation with reality, since reality is affected by factors such as temperature, handling, etc. What they publish is in a perfect laboratory environment-- not what people normally have at home. In my past, I have used Seagate, Maxtor, Western Digital, and Hitachi. Seagate has alway been high on my list because of their reliability and their 5 year warranty.Personally, reliability is a huge concern for me because I take tons of precious pictures of my family & baby and I cannot afford to lose them. That's why I always build RAID systems with different drives from different manufacturers, and in certain cases same manufacturer but with very different batches. After only 3 weeks, this drive failed. Since it was on a raid system, no big deal. I swapped in another drive, and it to Amazon. My other 750G failed after a year's use. That's 2 Seagate failures within 30 days of timespan-- not a good impression so far.Let's compare the latest Seagate with the latest Western Digital technologies. My Green 1T WD drives have been running for a few months without any problems so far. It's by far the quietest drives I've ever gotten, certainly much quieter than any of the Seagate Barracuda drives. It's also the most vibration free drives (Seagate is a bit noisier) and cool running-- heat shortens the lifespan of everything. The return policy for WD is much more hastle free-- you put in your credit card number and they'll hold the fees, and mail you a new drive immediately until you return the defective one, upon which they'll refund the credit card fees. Compare that to Seagate's return policy where they want to CHARGE you a set amount of cost if you want them to send you a replacement while you still have the defective drive.Seagate used to be well known for its quality in the early 90s. I used to trust them exclusively, but throughout the years their quality has decreased tremendously, and I no longer recommend using them. It happened to Maxtor in the early days when megabytes were a lot (Maxtor drives were notoriously bad in the 80s). I guess every good successful company, in their quest to drive up more and more profits, take shortcuts to make more money and eventually shoot them in the foot.Guess what, SlashDot has a headline "Seagate Hard Drive Fiasco Grows." Ha! I am not surprised. Sorry, but Seagate is just not living up to its reputations anymore. Your 5 year warranty is useless when you can't recover precious data such as pictures of your family/baby. Regardless of how good a manufacturer is, I cannot emphasize how important it is to building RAID-1, or at MINIMUM do thorough backups every once in a while. You'll be protecting hundreds of man-hours for your corporation (if this is for corporate use), and hundreds of tears for your family (for family use).

Installed this drive to upgrade a 80GB HD on a relatives computer. In less than a week stated to get Hard Drive Failure is Imminent messages. Ran the Seagate diagostic software and the drive did not pass. Currently am waiting for a replacement drive from Seagate. Luckily still had the original 80GB drive that I had cloned from and was able to reinstall it. It is a shame that a brand new drive would not last more than a week. An internet search shows that there has been a high failure rate for this model of HD.

Looks like I got longer service than most other reviewers. I bought a 500 GB ST3500320AS as an identical second drive in a RAID (this one to match the stock drive that the RAID came with). It worked fine for two years of light duty (it was constantly powered on, but not a lot of read/write activity) and then it went toes up in the middle of a file transfer. SMART Status = PASS but running a SMART Test produced failure to read test element. Fortunately the RAID worked as advertised and I didn't lose any data. The identical stock drive that came with the NAS is still ticking but I think it's only a matter of time. Drives fail--it's not a question of "if" it's a question of "when". However, I expect to get more than 2 years out of them (and from reading all the reviews, 2 years seems to be on the long end). I won't be buying any Seagate drives until they can demonstrate a much higher MTBF. This one will be replaced with a WD although it is more expensive.

stay away look for updates in other reviews for failures.Pros: Works fine until it dies!Cons: I have had 3 failures of this model disk in the last 45 days in 2 different systems. These were not gamer systems and are well cooled in large Antec boxes. Clearly Seagate has a problem and expect additional failures - next time I will put the service / shipping charges towards Western Digital units rather than replacing junk with junk.Cons: ... died without any warning after two months.The return policy is horrible - you are literally not allowed to use packing peanuts, bubble wrap, or newspaper to package a dead drive when you return it for warranty replacement. It has to be 2 inches of foam rubber in a corugated box or your warranty is void.Also, you are sent a REFURBISHED drive as a replacement.You are also required to pay for shipping the drive back, and can wait as long as 30 days from the day they receive it to get your new one.This last point isn't too bad in itself, but when mixed with everything else, it's stupid.Oh, and the RMA form on the website was down for two or three days before I could actually get it sent in. Customer service couldn't even fill out an RMA request for me - the entire system was down for "maintenance".They also make sure to withhold the detail about packing until you already submitted the form... and possibly gave them $20 to avoid waiting a month for your replacemeOther Thoughts: What happened, Seagate? I have two more of the older 7200.10 drives in here and they've run absolutely beautifully for the year I've had them - as a matter of fact, they're the only thing holding my degraded RAID5 up right now. I still have the old 160GB drive that came with my Dell five years back, and it still works like a charm. I order a couple 7200.11 drives, one arrives DOA and the other dies within two months without any warning.Cons: Had a SD15 failure. Drive was making a high-pitched noise just before it failed on machine reboot. Was able (with effort) to get SD1A flashed onto drive. But then drive became very noisy -- every few seconds, it would sound like the head was tracking accross the drive (a 'farting' noise, as some have said). Performance would also drop to near zero at these times.Got a warranty replacement from Seagate (which cost me $20) -- another drive with SD15! Sure enough, one week after install this one just started to make the high-pitched noise, so I'm typing this before I'm computerless once again.Other Thoughts: I will never, EVER buy Seagate again. I will do everything I can to make sure no one I know buys their products, either. Shame, shame, shame on you, Seagate.

I have been running these Seagate drives in my ReadyNAS NV+ for about 2 years, replacing the original 500MB drives that were shipped with the NAS. I have gradually expanded my NAS from 2 drives to 4 drives and have not had a single error reported during the entire time that I have had them installed. I regularly stream music and video from my NAS, so these drives do get accessed frequently. I cannot say whether or not these server-grade drives warrant the additional cost over standard drives, but my experience with these drives has been great.

WE have purchased dozens of these drives between 2009 and 2010.Over half have died. 36 out of 60. One hard drive to stayfar far away. The 36 that "died" just bricked out. Badfirmware, etc. Its amazing how Seagate has yet to be suedfor issuing so many dead drives. Well, they are paying theprice as their competitors are catching up with them.Guaranteed: Seagate will not have the title of "bestselling" hard drive maker after 2011.Daniel J. Tyler (The WJG)

I purchased a computer in December 2008 that contained a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HD. The HD worked terrifically and I had no complaints about it for the first 9 months that I owned it (much longer than most people have owned one before leaving a 4 or 5 star review!!!) but the HD just now failed (August 2009). The disk does not spin and the computer does not recognize that a hard drive even exists, not even attempting to access it. The data is not recoverable by the usual data recovery processes, meaning recovery must be done in a lint-free environment at a cost of $2,500 or more. Based on the research I have done since the hard drive failed, it is apparent that the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HDs are failing at an alarming rate (reportedly estimated upwards of around 30-40% by some data recovery experts.) While Seagate denies that the 7200.11 HDs are defective, those issuing RMAs are apparently being instructed to have the failed 7200.11 HDs sent to Seagate for replacement with the 7200.12 HDs, rather than having the 7200.11 HDs repaired. This appears to me, and many others with failed 7200.11 HDs, a silent acknowledgement by Seagate that the 7200.11 drives are defective and non-repairable. Do not believe that this issue is resolved, or can be resolved, as Seagate doesn't even appear to believe that. If you are considering buying a Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 HD, don't. If you already have one, back up all of your files immediately and replace your hard drive with something else! I wouldn't have even given 1 star if that were possible.

After purchasing this drive to use in an external case for backing up my computer, i had reoccurring problems with the drive. i tried different cases, different operating systems and even installing the drive in a desktop computer. no luck. after contacting seagate and explaining to them the issues with the drive, they refused to give me a firmware update which seems to be the fix for the problem according to pages and pages of forum reviews. they said since i used it in an external case it voided the warranty. after reviewing the warranty, this is untrue.now i am out of money. i did purchase toshiba drives for my ps3, laptop and desktop as well as the external case i originally used for this seagate drive. all are working wonderfully. **BUYER BEWARE** seagate has really fallen off as far as reliable products go. i would insult their customer service but if you have ever had the torture of using their website and bureaucracy, you already know contacting seagate is like pulling your own teeth in front of a live studio audience.

I am a big fan of the Enterprise-class ES.2 drives for reliability. I don't know what happened to these 2 I bought from Amazon, but they died after 2 months - just long enough to *NOT* be returnable - and since they are OEM drives, Seagate will not touch them either. Just my luck.

I had very bad experience with Seagate so far.The story starts with a 500GB internal HD I bought. This one dropped dead after less than a year. Since Best Buy told me I must contact Seagate and I didn't feel like going through all their support process I just bought a new Seagate 1TBHD (not a smart move of course#. This HD started giving me the clicking sound after 1 month. Additionally it started not being accessible once in a while meaning this baby was about to die on me.This time I contacted Seagate support. We went together through running their diagnostic SW and the decision of the support person was to RMA the product.After going through the RMA process on Seagate site I printed the shipping address they provided and shipped the product right away. Guess what. Address they gave me was wrong.After the box returned with a note that this address is not valid I logged into the Seagate site, put in my RMA number. Guess what. They now say this RMA number doesn't exist #and I have this number printed and in an e-mail from Seagate).Finding this experience unbelievable I can only recommend to stay away from this company. Their products fail and they don't support you once this happens. This at least is my experience with them.Product link: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1 TB SATA 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000333AS

I purchased three 500GB versions of these back at the beginning of 2009 for a system build where I used two in a RAID configuration and the third drive as a back up. Just 8 months later all three drives are failing: each has a SMART problem (detected by Windows and by Seagate SeaTools) and two of the three also fail SeaTools short drive tests. I use these drives in an extremely well ventilated Antec P182 case that has a separate hard drive bay that keeps them isolated from the heat produced by the motherboard and graphics card, so heat is NOT the reason these drives are failing. I believe the real issue is with poor quality components. I use a fair number of other Seagate drives and have had no problems with them. I bought literally about a dozen 2.5" 7200rpm drives for upgrading various notebooks (Mac and PC) without any issues--for a while I was replacing all my friend's drives after I sped my macbook 13 drive up from 4200RPM to 7200RPM and was showing everyone the performance improvements... In any case the problems I've had with these drives seem to be an issue limited to this particular version.The only positive thing I can say is that at least I learned these drives were going bad before they completely died. I was able to back up all my data to my NES array. I've filled out RMAs through the Seagate webpage and will hopefully get replacement drives soon, but I don't know that I'll actually trust them considering my 100% fail rate with the three I already own. I may decide to replace them with WD drives instead.

I have this exact unit.It worked fine for about 6 months, then suddenly stopped being recognized by Windows 7.Internet research led to possible solution of updating firmware. BIOS now tells me "hardware failure imminent" (versus nothing at all before) and to back up my data, but will not allow Windows to boot off the "good" master HDD while the "bad" one is attached. Can't read disk in another machine using Linux either.Ten years of family photos and my projects are up in smoke.I have a (heavily advertised) on-line back-up service currently restoring my files to a brand new drive. This has been a disappointment too. At the rate the service is restoring my files, it will take about 6 weeks (by my calculations) to rescue my 450gigs of priceless data.Buyer beware with this drive. (Google and you will see thousands of messages about this same problem.)P.S. On-line back-up is not as good as I'd hoped either.

Today my computer suddenly stopped working. I'm using this Seagate 1TB drive as a secondary HDD (primary drive is much smaller) and I use it to store my music, movies, etc. Thank goodness I also back up everything to a THIRD external drive, because as it turns out the only way to get my computer to start working again was to unplug this internal Seagate drive. I checked and ironically I ordered this drive a year ago to the day. So yeah...the drive was fine while it was working, but one year later and it seems to be busted. Not planning on buying another Seagate any time soon.

I no longer recommend this drive since the 7200.12 series came out and one of my drives died. I would like to change my rating to three stars.The drive I bought from PEAK ZONE was shipped without a antistatic bag and it died, do not buy from them.this is a oem, meaning just a drive in a antistatic bag, no screws, cables or literature or box.this drive needs a firmware update, I had troubles with one of my drives, after updating with new firmware which applies to all 7200.11 drives they work much better and quiter.You must remove a jumper to enable sata 300 mbps transfers, it was very hard to remove because the edge is below the socket. I use a small screwdriver and the jumper went flying somewhere into the room. I tested it with h2benchw a test program used by toms hardware to compare drives. the results (most relavent part) are pasted below. to summarize the min read speed was 49.8MB/sec, average was 84.0 MB/sec, max 113MB/sec.

I have to admit when I first bought my Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM Item #: N82E16822148288 (From Newegg not Amazon. However I do buy alot from Amazon as well)<<-- Item now deactivated at NewEgg.I came very close to sending it back because I heard a noise at first and was very concerned. Out of panic I called Newegg but didn't really want to send it back but I knew that Seagate had one of the best return policies and a long one at that so I decided to keep it and see what happened. Glad I did I bought mine on 7/16/2008. There were instruction on the newegg site that said to move a clip or something on the harddrive and I did this. Anyways the noise has gone away along time ago. I was told to leave the computer on for long periods of time which I did. I only recently started turning my computer off at night. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I am so so glad I stuck with Seagate. And to think I almost panicked and send my seatgate back. I bought a Eathwatts power supply also and let me tell you my electric bill is so low that I'm amazed and this was running my computer 24 hours aday.(( just wanted to add that it is possible that the white platic thing was in the wrong place on the one I bought because mine was alot cheaper and that might have been why I had to move it unsure)) Anyways I bought another one today .

I have bought one of these and from all the reading of the reviews from many sites I am very skeptical, but have been a Seagate fan from the very start. I talked to Seagate customer support about the issue before I even used the drive to see what they had to say about it. They did tell me one thing that nobody had reported as an important step in the firmware update process. (I don't even think it was on Seagate's website instructions). The site does say you have to do a full shutdown of the computer, not a soft restart but a full OFF. But the tech told me the drives fully take in and close the firmware update when the drive losses all power. That means you either need to pull the power off the drive or unplug your computer and then press your case power button to get rid off all of the system power. I am sure many people didn't make sure this crucial step in no power to the drive after firmware update was taken correctly. My computer takes 20 seconds to loose all power even when I unplug it. The drives will say the firmware was installed but may not have been correctly taken in by the board if all was not totally cut off from the drives. I hope mine is not one to suffer the fate of others and I hope this helps others in realizing you need to follow the procedure to the T. Unfortunately even a users system can prevent them from doing this update correctly unknowingly.Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500 GB SATA 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST3500320AS

Seagate is knowingly selling a faulty hard drive that just up and decides to not be seen by the computer one day. You will lose everything on it. No it does not stop working, you can hear it spinning and there is no warning to this happening. When you contact them they try to charge you $400 or more to retrieve your data for you.

I dunno what the negative reviews are for... small print indicates they are NOT about the ST31000333AS, but another drive. I bought my ST31000333AS over a year ago, use it in an external Vantec case with firewire connection. Blazing speed, never a problem. Note that if you buy the drive alone you don't get rails, disc, anything but the drive itself. If you want a kit with all the cables, etc, then go for that and pay more. I was using Western Digital HD's for years, finally gave up after the n-th one died. Been using the Seagate Barracuda line exclusively for several years now, 300GB, 400GB, 1TB. No complaints. They run so quiet you don't know they're there. Highly recommended.

This drive failed after 5 months use. I'm RMA'ing it now as it's under warranty but just lost a ton of data. Apparently this model has MANY issues that cause it to fail BOTH hardware design and firmware. Definitely not a good combination!Thanks a lot Seagate, you just lost all my future business.
