Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Ordered 2 for a RAID1 in my system, one works great, the other is DOA. The dead one has the 'click of death' which is an issue on the controller board. You would think that something like this could be caught at the factory before it even shipped to a warehouse, but I digress; It is a QC problem across all brands for their lower end consumer drives, and so no matter who you go with there is a ~20% chance you will get a dud. At least with Seagate when you get a good one you can rely on it for a while, unlike some other brands. I change my drives out religiously every 5 years, and other than DOAs (this is my 2nd), I have yet to have a drive from Seagate actually fail.
Pros:Fast, Big, Cold, and very Quiet. Everything you can ask for in a HDD.Much quieter and cooler than my 5 year old 1TB drives. In my system I use all low RPM fans, so the old HDDs were the only substantial noise coming from the system. Now I will be going from 3 old and relatively noisy HDDs, down to 2 very quiet ones. Mind you they are not silent, but they are at least below the noise threshold of the 9 800rpm fans I have. We are talking about total system noise ~15-20dB. Comment:
On the drive that is working, I am putting it through its paces right now and I am getting ~220MB/s sequential read on the edge, and ~120MB/s on the inside of the platter. I do video editing on the side, and this should bring a nice performance boost to the system once I get the other drive working properly, and all of the files transferred over. My old drives had a max of 120MB/s, average of 80MB/s, and a terrible inner track speed of 40MB/s. Thank God things have improved over the years!Pleasantly surprised at the ease of use of this drive. I just popped it in and the Intel RAID controller already knew it was a 3TB (2.7TB formatted) drive. Win8 picked it up right away once I gave it a partition and a drive letter. Nothing like the nightmare that some people have had getting a system to recognize large discs. |

Pros:3tb,cheap and durable, not bad for its asking price Comment:
3tb for this cheap? snap it up fellas, seagate is known for good hdd too. This is goood for a storage drive as of now, while my os run on a corsair ssd. Expect the hdd to live up to its pricing its a steal |

Cons:- not an SSD
Pros:- low cost- not Western Digital Comment:
After moving dozens of Western Digital HDDs in the past few years, I noticed an intolerable increase in failures. WD's customer service tipped me over. I will never ever buy a WD product anymore. While waiting for SSDs to take over HDD in size, Seagate is the last non-WD standing brand to buy from. |

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA3 64MB Cache 3.5IN Internal Hard Drive
Cons:Every retailer puts a purchase quantity limit on these whenever they're on a sale :P The limited warranty + speced power on time of 2400 hours does have me a little concerned though, 4/5 because of that.
Pros:3TB + 7200RPM + price = Best deal going for bulk storage at an acceptable access rate. Comment:
That 2400 hours power on has me slightly concerned but in a NAS that's 8 months shy of the warranty and so long as you're not running raid 0 its plenty of time to RMA the failed ones. *knock on wood* |

Cons:Read some sketchy things about the life expectancy of these drives. Sort of took a gamble going with Seagate rather than WD but it's paid off so far.
Pros:Great value. Tons of storage. Quick enough for gaming use. Silent. Comment:
Great value. 3TB for $90 during Black Friday sale. Bought for game storage, mostly. Paired with my 128gb SSD for bootup. I have no more worries about storage :) |

Cons:- None
Pros:- Price/Space ratio Comment:
I've wanted to upgrade to this HDD for a while now as my main storage unit. I have used a WD 1TB Black HDD for a few years now and the additional 2GB with this drive is welcome.Aside from the additional space, it seems to run quieter than the WD 1TB Black drive as well. |

Cons:No cons. If it works, it's great. If it fails, that's the only con.
Pros:Got it for $100 on black friday, shipped after tax. Happy with it so far. It's a 7200 RPM HDD. Not much more to say! Comment:
I'm using this HDD to make a full image backup of my desktop SSD (128GB), desktop media drive (1TB) and my laptop SSD (256GB). I don't need speed, just reliability. Lucky for me, I got a good drive cheap and also relatively fast (7200 RMP). |

Cons:it's quite a heavy drive, but who really cares.I didn't buy more of them on Black Friday sale
Pros:Decently Fast, 1tb per platter, not very loud, Capacity (duh, 3tb?) Comment:
Crystal disk mark gave me about 175/170 mb/s read/writes respectively.Fraps 30 fps recording at 1080P is fine on my i7 based gaming computer with a Gigabyte P55a-UD4P motherboard (is plugged into 3rd party controller)Honestly compared to my WD black drives? I can't hear a damn thing coming out of this drive, if silence is your goal, then this is better then the 1 TB black, at only a 25mb/s read/write difference.My one complaint? I can't buy more at that awesome black friday price. |

Pros:brought 2 - cheap3tb - lot of roomwarranty expired 09-feb-2015one of the fastest 3tb drives Comment:
it is so cheap that i brought 2, also have 1000 points extra. has fw cc24. use it in a external enclosure f 34c applying long test by seatool. average 155.2 mb/s, lowest 90.5 mb/s and highest 191.2mb/s. this is obviously better than the wb black of 61.8 mb/s & 136.7 mb/s only. the only question is if it is reliable and durable. hope it last a good 5- 10 yrs. |
I paid $90 for it so it works fine it's an hdd works or it doesn't, this one does work.I've also got a mix of wd black, green and old seagate 1TB drives they all do the same job, longevity is "luck of the draw" on any drive.
