Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB 3.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Comment:
Shipped (w/ บ off promo code), 7200 rpm, excellent $ per gigabyte ratio, good upgrade from oem system drive (speed and capacity) A bit loud when I initially cloned this drive, sounded like the really hard drive out of my very first 486. So I did a comprehensive, not a speedy format. Whisper quiet now??? maybee cause it was new??? I dont know Ive only ever had utilised tough drives. Recomended to a handful of pals when it was on sale and promo last week. They're all real happy I spotted this deal :)

The only pro I can think of was my initial hopes for the drive. I was excited to add some thing more than a gig to my arsenal as it had been.Regrettably; this drive did small to keep the hope alive. Only a month just after installation, my secondary boot OS (Ubuntu) raised a red flag and indicated there were a lot of poor sectors! I only installed the drive to use in the windows environment as backup storage and what’s worse, is that the drive is only accessed and written to when a week. (Failing just after 4 or 5 fairly light sessions)It was only then, a puzzled look that I took a closer appear at reviews of the drive and I was/AM appalled! I definitely can’t believe how hard New Egg is pushing these things when Way more than 40 percent of people are complaining of failure or DOA. Additional – Seagate doesn’t appear to even have a manufacturer’s response nor do they look to have any interest in pulling them. Possibly somebody figures that sort of action would draw a great deal more interest to the trouble than just ignoring it. Their site claims only a .34% failure rate major me to think they’re just dumping the negative ones right here? I don’t know, but the failure price is absolutely higher right here. I will in no way order a Seagate Drive Again. An isolated failure is invariably attainable but this honestly is ridiculus.Also, I wish I could warn some of these reviewers that claim such absolute integrity just after only a few days ownership. I hope theirs final longer than mine did.

Large and low-cost. I don\'t forget paying 贄 for a 20 gig and got this for ๟ WOW. Appreciate barracudas you just cant go incorrect with them. NONE, effectively ok they wont wake you up in the morning with breakfest made but in addition to that absolutely nothing. Trustworthy

I've been running four of these drives for varying lengths of time. The very first disk came with my HP MediaSmart Server. It is nevertheless operating following a year of far more-or-less constant uptime. I bought an additional for the server shortly soon after purchasing the server, and that drive is nevertheless running. I not too long ago bought two additional to add to my server, and they are running just fine. So I'm fourǚ with these drives. None that I've seen. What ever problems these drives may have had with earlier firmware, as far as I can inform, the at the moment shipping drives are just fine.

Competitively priced, decent storgae, respectable speed, not a poor brand name. None so far I purchased 1 and the second hdd came as element of a combo package. I am making use of each in a Windows Home Server set up. So far, so excellent. I only purchased the second simply because the initial hdd was component of a combo package. And my favored combo was sold out. I doubt I would have purchased both if I wasn't acquiring a combo deal, but my alternatives have been limited. I would have looked at distinct vendors and increased top quality inside Seagate and with other vendors. But a single came with a combo and I wanted to get the identical drive as the second for replication purposes. I never ever grade 5 eggs as there is always space for improvement.

I have owned 1 of these for over a year, with no difficulties whatsoever. I just ordered three a lot more to make a RAID 5 a couple of weeks ago. I received 1 drive DOA. The other two worked fine. I sent off the drive to NewEgg last Saturday, hopefully the replacement will function. -บ to ship back = -1 egg :( I knew about the 10-30% failure rate of these drives going into this (we have a couple of 24 disk NAS' at function that use these drives) but I was gambling that none would be DOA. If you are planning to RAID these make positive that you have a replacement on hand, and that it works. You cant beat the speed and efficiency of these, not to mention the low price tag.

Comment:
Capacity-v-Price tag So far so great nothing to complain about. I will be shopping for much more of these.

worked for a few months I have RMA'd 9 of these drives. At very first I believed it could be my motherboard or my energy supply. However I have a intel ssd and a WD black 1tb no complications at all. Seagate blames it on various items each and every time I have to RMA a drive. They will have a lawsuit on their hands if they maintain this top quality up! I really hope the 9th drive is a charm. We shall see.... I will in no way get another Seagate drive. I do not advocate everyone obtain this drive. Google the problems with this drive. I promise it will make you sick. Dot make the exact same lengthy pricey mistake I have.

When you get a single that functions; it appears to function actually properly. I ordered six for use as Time Machine backups and to make bootable backups and to use for very significant itunes library. two were doa; got replacements for. One particular of the replacements is doa. Waiting for that replacement to come in. I have decided that cost just doesn't matter. I am interested in reliability. I would be happy to spend a lot more and get reliability. Not certain that feasible from any drive manufacture in todays planet.

Lots of space. Quiet. No issue formatting below reiserfs for speed/access. none so far Good drive, I usually obtain Seagate and they generally come out great for me.

cheap Drive exhibited click of death following much less than 6 months of use.RMA'd and received one more drive with the precise very same problem. Have owned several Seagate HDs over the years with out issues till this one particular. The hassle of going by means of the RMAing approach once again and the shipping cost would make it not worth sending back again. Sadly, excellent manage has gone downhill -- I no longer buy Seagate merchandise.

Comment:
- Large Capacity- Inexpensive - Woefully unreliable, failed within a month Don't buy this.

Comment:
This is a good size drive for the money It is very slow - possibly need to enhance the cache size in the future models Nevertheless Excellent Purchase if they retain the price below ๖

Comment:
Great transfer rate, great capacity. Much better price due to the fact 2 years ago when I got it. Died soon after two years, but nevertheless take into account myself lucky, as it's been operating for two years in an external enclosure, and it's nonetheless in warranty. Spins up, but then just clicks. On the plus side, Seagate help has been particularly responsive. 5 total emails from them in ㅐ hours. Sent me a totally free UPS shipping label as properly. Will report back when RMA is full.

Comment:
Uncomplicated to install in Mac Pro. None so far. Swift shipping

Comment:
This product forced me to develop great backup habits.I got close to two years service just before it broke. Lost information due to tricky mechanical failure. Recovery folks were unable to recover any information, as head detached from slider, which subsequently scored media (especially track ). Head replacement was unsuccessful. I had two of these in a linux box (non-RAID) to use as a file server. It was placed in service early in 2009, so I guess I had much better luck than some of the reviewers right here.Whilst I can't blame my data loss on everyone but myself, I will avoid Seagate products in the future."Fool me as soon as, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

1.5t and 7200 rpm tends to make this an great difficult drive none The drive is now my primary drive and I have yet to have any difficulties with it.

Comment:
Capacity. Not reputable. Do not perform in Raid. Initial Seagate drives I tried that are total garbage. I installed two of these for a mirrored raid. I could not copy any information to them without having one particular of them failing inside 20 seconds of copying. I tried this numerous occasions (delete and start more than) on different target ids. I feel there ought to be a bug in these drives. Glad I didn't have any data on them.

None Junk, very first one failed immediately. Second a single failed in 1 day. Junk challenging drive. Try another a single
