Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1500GB 1.5TB SATA2 7200RPM 32MB Cache NCQ Hard Drive OEM

Cons: Worked well for about 3-4 months in my Windows Home Server. Ran somewhat hot, even with fans blowing blowing directly on the drives - about 31-32 deg (C) at idle. Plagued by the notorious ".11 series" firmware issues. Drive would go "offline" and drop out of the server storage array whenever there was high I/O or a disk defrag would run. Firmware update was no help. Currently working with Seagate on an RMA.

Pros: Price, perpendicular recording allows high platter density.

Cons: out of its 36 sector threshold, 35 have been reallocated in 4 months. 4 months to failure?! i had to take it out of my home server and to wait until newegg ships its replacement, a <brand> 1.5TB drive. im going to send it into seagate and try to get it replaced, hopefully its just the one drive. i dont have a lot of hope, considering the issues others have had. seagate! why have you done this to us?!and to think, i was so happy getting it on black friday....

Pros: cheap, fast, HUGE storage

Cons: My Girlfriend bought me this HDD for Christmas. I have spent the last 3 months trying to get this hard drive to work. My device manager reconizes the drive but when you click on computer it only so my manin hard drive. I went to seagates web page and downloaded seagate tools and it reconizes both of my seagate hard drives my main hard drive is 750 gig seagate HDD but when I try to test it the test wont work. I even downloaded the firmware update for this model and that doesn't work either. I have a dell 720 I downloaded the updates for seagate HDD from the dell site that didn't work either. So I have come to the conclusion that this HDD is poor choice for a large HDD.

Pros: None

Cons: None so far (~9months).

Pros: Works wonderfully.

Cons: - Same freezing issue that most of these drives succumb to. Mine happened after about 6 months of use. At least i was able to pull my data off of it (albeit very slowly) to another drive.- My drive shipped with the CC1H firmware so the Seagate firmware tool couldn't update.- I now have a $110 1.5 TB hard drive that can't be used and sits in a closet. Awesome.

Pros: - High capacity- Read/Write was fast when it worked- Decently quiet. I couldn't hear it over anything else in my system.- Didn't fail...completely?

Cons: My secondary drive only has 300GB free :-( Also for some reason I can only achieve a 5.9 on the 7.9 performance scale on Windows 7 because of hard drive.

Pros: These are huge, even for todays standards. I have 2 of these, one for my main drive (I install a lot of high-end games that take about 8-12GB each, and also I keep my pictures, about 18,000 or so of 12MP and 8MP, and many video clips) I still have .8TB free.

Cons: The drive has a terrible delay in reading data/directory structure. 5 seconds or so from clicking in a folder till the content displays is unacceptable in my book. I have two of these drives and they both act the same.

Pros: It is a 1.5TB drive. How many movies is that?

Cons: Started giving me the "click of death" after only 3 months. I had recently checked the SMART info and found a lot of reallocated sectors shortly before the fail. It was still slightly functional in sporadic bursts so I was able to clone it to another seagate 1.5tb LP, but it took about 6 hours. This drive exhibited some odd behavior also, and became audibly louder after only a week, but the SMART info is ok so far. waiting on a samsung 2tb to return this one to the local shop. I should have listened to the reviews

Pros: cheap

Cons: They wind down when not in use

Pros: Inexpensive and Quiet

Cons: Of the 17 (not all from Newegg), five were DOA and one went out within a few months. (this one that eventually went out was a little ify all along- initial errors but it seemed to had fixed itself). It's been my experience with HDD: if you get it and it works good, it'll probably work for quite a while. I have large HHDs (variable manufacturers) that I've used for over 10 years, including Seagate enclosure drives.

Pros: I've bought 17 of these over the past 6 moths. That in itself should tell you something about how I feel about it. I have 10 set up in two 5-bay SanDigital RAID boxes (raid-5) and one for backup (which I meanwhile use with BlacX box). They work well for me as they are affordable and pretty reliable (raid-5 backs itself up within the drives so that if one drive does fail I can hotswap a new one without loosing data).

Cons: none

Pros: Nice, large, fast hard drive.

Cons: Slow wake up time from sleep state. (sleep state can be disable though)

Pros: High CapacityCheap PriceFast read and Write SpeedsAnywhere from 60 Megabytes to 110 Megabytes a second

Cons: None

Pros: I bought two when they first came out, RMA'd twice and after getting the new firmware, no problems at all. Both drives are running continuously for about 8 months now without a sign of degradation. Set aside your worries, I believe all the nails has been hammered out.

Cons: Not many! Runs a bit warm, but a case fan mounted in the drive bay solved that concern, it's a good idea anyway, high temps can possibly shorten the life of a hard disk in the long term.

Pros: This drive is big and it's fast, in HDD performance tests this drive far outperformed all my other drives. Including the pair of Raptor 36GB in RAID-0. I will be buying more of these. No issues whatsoever with firmware conflicts or performance issues.

Cons: Not quiet

Pros: Large storage, reasonably fast.

Cons: Firmware problem like all the others. It would freeze during downloads or transfers

Pros: Good drive, large size, and a decent price. Makes for a good media storage drive if you have faster/smaller drives for your primary drives.

Cons: None so far!

Pros: Great performance and price. This drive rocks.

Cons: i bought 2 one was doa but new egg was very easy to deal with and sent me another one and i didnt have to pay to ship the bad one back that was nice thanks new egg

Pros: drive is quite and quick just using for back up with docking station

Cons: Is it worth any money at all when you lose 1.5TB of data? My first one of these broke in the first week, the second one died as soon as I filled it up to about 1.4TB. I was waiting for the first one to return so I'm pretty sure I've lost all my data now.Secondly, the RMA process of Seagate takes 3x as long as western digital.

Pros: Huge amount of space, great price

Cons: None.

Pros: I bought 2 drives 3 months ago for my Media Center for $89.99 each. They have worked flawlessly!
