Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Some compatibility issues with older enclosures.
Pros:Works as expected. Comment:
I'm using the drive in a Synology NAS and it works just fine. However, I have run into a problem with older enclosures (which works fine with 2TB drives) that will only recognize the drive as a 746GB drive even when it is partitioned using GPT (Which often solves this issue when running on Windows). |

Cons:unreliable, run too hot
Pros:cheap, cheap, cheap Comment:
Over the last twelve months I bought 10+ of these drives. Most recently was last November. Now, they are all starting to fail. So far I've had five fail. Beware, as there's a reason why these drives are warranted for only a year! If there was one piece of advice I'd give is to make sure to get the ones made in Thailand. Anecdotally, so far, only the ones made in China have failed me.I'd rate these drives 1/5, but it won't accept my order ID since it was a pick up order and not a web order. |

I'm quite happy with this drive in my new rig, it's my data and games I don't play often drive. It's quite fast and my only complaint is that I can hear it a little bit but it could perhaps be because the rest of my rig is too quiet, I don't know |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:P/N 1CH166; Firmware not upgradable because it is AN OEM DRIVE; slow compared to P/N PYN166 in the same model number of hard drive.
Pros:3TB; does its job Comment:
NCIX advertises this product as Part #: ST3000DM001. This is FASLE and completely incorrect. The MODEL NUMBER is ST3000DM001. The part number that they ship to you is an OEM DRIVE Part# 1CH166. This is where it is confusing when not familiar with seagate products. Model Number ST3000DM001 has two distinct and different part numbers: PYN166, which is AWESOME and firmware upgradeable, and 1CH166, which is slow (compared to PYN166) and is NOT firmware upgradeable. Don't believe me? Google it. Its all in the seagate forums.http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/crawl_message?board.id=ata_drives&message.id=30371http://forums.seagate.com/t5/Barracuda-XT-Barracuda-Barracuda/9YN166-vs-1CH166/td-p/182266It isn't all bad - The hard drives that they ship do their job. Great if you have a Drobo NAS or DAS and NEVER want to upgrade the firmware. For that reason I give two Stars (It works, but would NOT Purchase Again).This product is not so good if you are an enthusiast and have a Thunderbolt Drobo 5D. |

This 3TB drive is good for storing data as a back up. I have it in a nexstar USB 3.0 enclosure and it has good transfer speeds. It usually goes on sale for around a $100 which is a good price for 3TB capacity. |

I used this in a NAS which is not used continuously so did not really warrant a red drive. The drive performance exceeds the NAS so not used in a performance situation currently but more a near line backup and file store. |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:-Warranty could be longer
Pros:-Extremely good Cost/GB-Quiet-Plenty of storage capacity-Fairly reliable Comment:
This is an excellent purchase for someone looking to increase their storage. It can be had for VERY cheap, especially on sale. The HDD is fairly reliable compared to similar price bracket drives. As well, it's faster than the similarly priced WD Green drives.This is my second drive of this model. The first one I've had for 6 months or so, and I've experienced no issues. These work well enough in large Home storage/nas environments, and are cheaper than the WD Red or Constellation drives.Note: If using in a RAID environment, do NOT store important/critical data on these, unless properly backed up.Double Note: RAID is NOT a backup solution. |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Not totally silent
Pros:Fast, relatively inexpensive Comment:
Hard to complain about getting 3TB of 7200rpm disks for less than $120 each. I bought two of them and setup as RAID-1 data array to help protect from the inevitable hard drive failure (supplemented by a smaller backup drive and off-site backup). I find them very speedy in this configuration - faster than my previous 7200 rpm drives. I can't comment on using them as a primary disk - I rely on an SDD for those duties.The drive spinning is not totally silent but far quieter than some other drives I own. I do not hear any head seek noises.Check your warranty online - most drives (like mine) ship with a 2-year warranty. Coupled with my credit card extended warranty, that is 3-years. Plenty for me. |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Needs a firmware update to run perfectlyNeed a motherboard with UEFI capabilities to take advantage of all 3TB as one (boot) partition.
Pros:SpaceFastNearly silent (after firmware update)NCIX customer support Comment:
Bought this drive for $119.00 and, for the price and the size, you just can't beat it.The first drive I received had a loud screech coming from it during read/write periods. I found out from the Seagate support forums (which are extremely helpful and thorough) that these 1TB per platter drives just had a firmware update released to address the problem. So, I installed the firmware and, voila! No screech. However, I still had a lot of scratching noises coming from the drive and some pretty abysmal read/write rates, so after running two weeks worth of diagnostics with no solution, I concluded that it was a faulty drive with some head parking issues. Not quite DOA, but not worth messing around with when under warranty.There's a year warranty on this drive, which is honestly more than the average user will need. If you plug it in and it doesn't work, return it. All hardware manufacturers release products that can be faulty/DOA, but if it doesn't fail in the first 3 months, it likely won't fail. NCIX takes care of the first month of your warranty, too, which makes things extremely convenient if you live near an NCIX store.I brought my faulty drive back to NCIX and the support team took it away and gave me a new one. Got home, plugged the new drive in, and no sound at all! So quiet, in fact, I was convinced I hadn't plugged it in correctly. I did a firmware update just to bring everything up to current and now I am very, very pleased.I gave it 4 stars because of the firmware issue, which will keep some of the less technically proficient customers from being able to solve any noise issues, but other than that, this is an outstanding drive for the price and I would definitely purchase again. |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:-Unable to retain data when formated with GPT-Disk falls offline at random time (every each 20 minutes) which cause the systeme to be rebooted-Unable to retain data
Pros:-No ones (see the review for more info) Comment:
********DON'T BUY this product!***********I was searching a good affordable drive (3TB or More) to have like a backup disk on my computer. The drive was formatted in GPT to use the full 3Tb. Once in a While when I was installing applications on it, it was becoming offline and there has no way to start it again but to powercycle the computer. I tried updating the Firmware, because I remember what was happening back in the days with those Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 . The firmware was updated but the drive still wasn't working. I called seagate to have an RMA since my order was older than 30 days, they ship me a ''repaired'' drive and it still gaves me errors when I was trying to write on it. I removed the drive, put it on a Cradle on an other PC and surprise!, the disk wasn't initialise, which means that I was unable to read the hard drive on another computer. And if I put back the cradle on the main computer, the data was back... very very strange. Seagate told me that the product I originaly shipped was not faulty at all. I was very frustrated I waste about 3 days of work with this product, I just want you guys not to make the same stupid mistake has mine. Last time I tried a seagate product with issue, I told me that it was the last time for life, looks like I should have listen to me! If I was able to give -5 stars it will be my score for this awful product.I lost about 300$ for thoses defective Hard drives that seagate won't fix (I also buyed a 2Tb). If you're searching for cheap and reliable product I recommand paying 20-30 $ more and get a Western Digital Caviar.I'm very disapointed |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Heats Up a BitLess Than 2 Year Warranty
Pros:Sale PriceLarge CapacityRandom & Sequential I/O Speed Comment:
Got a few of these on the $90 before HST and Enviromental Tax Black Friday sales in 2012. Tested them using a full run of BadBlocks, then a complete zero fill 3 times. Passed all tests and the average sequential writes are consistently over 80Mbps, 103Mbps for the inside of the spindles.Didn't notice any loud clicking or sounds, the firmware seems to be all CC24, and all in all seems to be a solid drive. I can't speak for longevity and the short warranty leaves me a bit leery, but for the price it was a calculated risk.One thing I did notice was that temperatures got a little high for the drives, and the speeds and temperatures varied. For example I had one drive consistently at 50C and an average write speed of 101Mps peak, while I had another drive at 56C and 109Mbps peak during testing. Same test patterns too. Makes me a little worried about quality control when there's that kind of variance in the same batch of hard drives. |

All in all a good hard drive. It has good speed and runs nicely on Sata 3. The only downfall is you must check your mobo to make sure it can read 3TB. After some searching I realized I have to reformat it as GPT drive so it can read higher than 2TB. For the price, it's a good and dependable product and love the extra storage space!
