What else is there to say, it's a 7200 rpm drive that's still going strong 2 years, 7 months later without skipping a beat. It's now the data drive in combination with my new SSD Mushkin 120GB Chronos Deluxe which I couldn't be happier with. But I needed to give this Seagate its due respect for serving me well.I have no clue what I paid for it all these years later, but I don't recall it being all that expensive at the time.

I bought two of these drives for using in a RAID 1 array in a Synology DS210j Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. After 6 weeks of operation, one of the drives failed.When the drive went bad, I contacted Synology and told them the errors the NAS was sending me. It indicated the Reallocated Sector Count showed a failing drive and their take on the drive was that it was failing. At any rate, the NAS won't mount the volume.The drive has a 3 year warranty, and the failed drive was well within that time period. Seagate insists that you download their diagnostic software to test the drive prior to returning, as they claim a high return rate of good drives. I am sure that is true, but the diagnostic software can only be run on a DOS/Windows system. Since the NAS runs Linux, the diagnostic software obviously won't run on it. Otherwise, all I have is a laptop, so how do I connect an internal 3.5" drive to it?They do allow you to return a drive without running the diagnostic utility, but if they determine the drive is good, you have to pay for the return shipping. Also, you have to package the drive to their specifications, so don't throw the shipping box away when you buy the drive. Unfortunately I threw my box out, so I had to find an anti-static bag and some foam shipping material to send the drive in.I returned the drive to Seagate, and in a week or two, I got a replacement drive. I was a bit peeved that the drive was refurbished rather than a new drive. It was only 6 weeks old! I should have been given a new replacement. If the drive was a year old, then OK, send me a refurbished drive. But at 6 weeks, the drive was clearly a factory defect, and I should have been given a new one.Since they do not reimburse you for shipping the drive to the repair facility, I see it as I ended up paying more money than I should have, and I ended up with a used drive. It cost $12 to ship the drive via UPS to Texas, which was about 20% of the cost of the drive.I gave this product 2 stars because of the drive failure, and the exchange for a refurbished drive rather than a new one (at 6 weeks after purchase).

I have twenty (20) of these drives and yet any one of them to fail over the years.Use it for video capture and eding, backup of the same, run it sometimes all day and night as removable drive(s).I fill these drives up fast with video footage and never had a single problem with this model (...528)but not sure about the ...524 model.I bought the earliest drives when it became available and still functionning.Can not tolerate any failure in my business of video recording to drives.Not sure why so many people seems to have problem with the drives. I use a Windows XP machine with 32 bit and 3Ghz processor, with 2GB memory, Dual core CPU.Maybe Windows-7 or vista has some issues, I don't know. Sometime you can't take these complaints seriously, some people don't know what they're doing :)

I bought this drive based on great reviews from Maximum PC Magazine. It raved on and on about this drive. I have always been a Western Digital Fan from way back but I wanted a 1 TB drive and since my favorite magazine gave this drive top billing I thought I tried it out.BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!First the drive arrived in a simple box and Dead On Arrival (DOA).Since it took me over 30 to install this drive (I was busy) I had to deal with Seagate. Now are you ready for this?Seagate demands that when you return their drives back to them you must pack them in a specific box with the right type of foam made specifically for the transport of hard drives. My beef is this. If Seagate is so demanding about how we return their drives to them why don't they sell their drives with the same care they demand from us? Oh and by the way, try finding this type of box or foam. Good luck! You can find them online but it'll cost you the same as the drive.Luckily I had a box and foam from another drive that I was able to use.There's another method you can use. For $21+ they will send you a brand new drive in a prepaid box that you can return to them. You then have 25 days in which to send them back the drive or they will charge you credit card with the price of the drive. So much for the money you saved on the drive.Ok so I received my new drive and it worked great. That was back in November 2009. It ran well for 10 months. Today I just filled the request to once again return it because it failed the smart test upon boot up. I ran the Seagate Tools test and it failed all kinds of tests. Lucky for me that I have backed up this drive into another drive (Western Digital).My advice is to stay away from Seagate. I've only had one problem with Western Digital and their return policy is way better than Seagate's.I already bought a Western Digital 2 TB from Amazon to replace this Seagate Drive. When I receive the new Seagate Drive I will sell it on ebay. So if you're looking for a new 1Tb Seagate Drive on the cheap look to ebay or Amazon I don't know which yet.

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.

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.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Seagate called me today. They're swapping out my 1.5 TB drives for new 2GB Constellations on an advanced replacement basis. All I have to pay is shipping! The Constellations are Enterprise class (ES) drives that run about $300 a pop (here on Amazon - retail's higher).Seagate's my new favorite company, they've got a customer for life.UPDATE - PROBLEM IDENTITIED:Since I wrote the review below, I've had 2 more 1.5 TB drives fail. I called Seagate to try to resolve the issue, and was told (by 3 different people in 2 different departments) that these drives are NOT RELIABLE in RAID configurations.According to Seagate, they market them as 'desktop' drives which means they are designed to be used for a few hours a day rather than continuously. Apparently they're fine for non-RAID use (one person told me they work OK for RAID-0 and RAID-1, although I'm not sure how that would be different from RAID-5).This may explain the number of problems that some people (like me) have with these drives while they work perfectly fine for others. I wish I had known this before I bought the drives to begin with.==================================Over the last 2+ decades I've owned hundreds of hard drives. I can say with certainty that the Seagate 1.5 TB drive is the worst of the lot, and not by a little.At the moment, I've got 22 drives in service. 12 of them are Seagate 1 TB enterprise (ES) drives. 6 of them are WD 160 MB drives. 4 of them are Seagate 1.5 TB drives. Over the last six months I've had 7 drive failures. 5 of them have been Seagate 1.5 TB drives (the other two were ancient WD-160's). You read that right - 5 failures in a pool of 4 drives.These are not heat or power related failures. The servers run behind a high-end power conditioning UPS and are well ventilated; the drives are barely warm to the touch when I swap them out.I wouldn't recommend these drives to my worst enemy.Just to be clear, my problem is specifically with the Seagate 1.5 TB drives. Their 1 TB drives seem to be very reliable.

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...
