huge Price FIXING! WENT FROM 300 TO 150 IN Less THAN A YEAR, AND ITS NOT EVEN WORTH THATexpensive at the time. I got it for 300, then they dropped to 200 and now even reduce. This drive is still slower than a 80 dollar 32 gig ssd. Get one particular of those!Got me a 5.9 wei score. WOW. Get a ssd and a green drive. This as a boot drive isn't any faster than a generic drive!

Quick drive and lots of storage. they're not cost-free Ran HD Tune Pro 4.01 got these benefits:Transfer Price: Min-51.2MB, Max-138.4MB, Avg-108.9MB, Access time 16.4ms, Burst price-216.5MB. This is a stand-alone drive in a i7-930 ASUS P6X58D board with 12GB 1600Mhz RAM. Can't wait to set these up as Raid-10, really should be screaming.

Possibly I can get it to perform. Right after about four hours of trying to set up it I gave up. Current Environment: Win7 with 5 really hard drivesAttempting to install: Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.five" Internal Really hard Drive -Bare DriveI took out the 5th challenging drive, and connected the barracuda to the identical cables that the 5th drive were on.Bios doesn't boot windows. Deciding on another hard drive in the bios desires to set up a new Win7 OS.I unplugged the 5th drive, it boots up fine. Although operating, I hot swap reconnect the barracuda drive.I'm then capable to format it, and it seems to operate.I reboot the machine with the barracuda still connected and am back to the bios not beginning windows.Still waiting for Seagate Support to get back to me.

It is not produced in China! But it is created in Thailand. The drive has lots of storage. I bought as it was miss priced at yet another store. Even at the reduced value I will return it as it does not out carry out my WD Caviar Black 1TB! 1- Overpriced!two- Waist of cash compared to a WD 1TB Caviar that outperforms this seagate.three- Seagate client help and warranty has fallen short of what a customer desires.4- The HDD does not perform to what one particular would expect for a 64MB buffer. Invest your income on a strong state and do not wast it on this drive. This drive is a flop compared to what it need to be.

Cool. Quiet. Moderately swift, but there are far better drives for that intent. Tends to make a imply daiquiri. Okay, I lied about that. It makes a lousy daiquiri. Only 1.86GB when carved out. The 3TB version just came out. grrr... ;~)I yammer on under. All drives have the possible of dying. I consider Seagate's tend to die less than others, but WD builds some good ones as well. it's a lot more about which model is greatest, not brand so significantly.My application is a 13-disk RAID6 set set via 3ware 9650 replacing an eight-disk 1TB Seagate RAID5. 1 disk loss in 3+ years is not terrible.Of the 13 drives I acquired, a single was collecting sector relocations like stamps, and an additional was flaky in array testing, so they both go back. The flaky one particular likely would have been fine in a normal config, but two of 13 is an acceptable number for me. 1 is about proper, but 2 is not awful...unless these are the two that *you* order. We all know it happens and for this reason, you have to test like crazy in the 1st 30 days to force the failures. Watch Clever data closely. If it doesn't fail or have tons of sector troubles in the very first 30 days although you hammer it, it will be excellent for years. This is accurate of all drives. I am making use of WD RE4 drives for my OS, so it's all good.

none bought two, one still works, but bow really concerned, had just digitized 50 hours of videos, which now can't be replaced. and I'm mad as hell. Now employing the other a single as a side back up only, 1 that is becoming utilised rarely. need to have gotten the Western Digital RE4 drives, never had a single incident with them. Taught me a lesson attempting to get a bargain.

What can I say but thanks Seagate for marrying functionality to sizes, this upgrade has been a match to heaven! This has been greater than my marriage lol! I want I could take it to my 25th :) again no cons trigger this drive has been the sweetest I have know so far in my life :) Please do not hesitate to place this drive in your life sorry I mean your rig but like every person is saying make certain your mono can deal with it, it had to have the very same capacity to take benefit of speed, great luck with your project!

Inexpensive and Simple to use When coming out of "sleep" mode it freezes for about ten minutes. Contacted Seagate...they told me to test the drive...even though I have a WD that doesn't freeze, I did as they asked. Drive passed so named tests. Therefore, Seagate claims it isn't the drive thats freezing. Weird how it isn't the drive when I have a WD runs perfectly fine. I switched main and secondary, unhooked WD drive, and so forth... This will be the final Seagate I obtain...not just simply because of the drive, but also because of the Seagate men and women treating me like an idiot.

Nice size, good value. It really should come with guidelines telling how to have windows 7 see it. BIOS showed it, device manager showed it but windows did not see it. An simple repair if you know about it. If your obtaining difficulties because windows 7 is not seeing the drive be confident to study the critique Rating: 5ǛWin7 64 may not recognize drive. Don't know who did it but it solved my problems. Thanks to who ever posted it. Just built a program with parts bought from Newegg. A lot of worth for the cash spent.

Quiet, also rapid in three.0Gb/s and is really great as to overall performance to $ and size ratio none I generally buy Western Digital but I was impressed with this drive - smooth, fast and quiet operation so I purchased one more for my Video workstation develop

na na if you are getting challenges with your personal computer not reading it, often there is a setting in the bios for delayed booting. move it to about five sec. my samsung did the very same thing. it should perform

Amazingly quiet. Quite rapidly! Runs a bit warm for my likes. I utilised this drive to replace a 2TB WD Black 64meg cache SATA II drive. I docked this in a USB 3 docking station which plugs into a USB three ExpressCard on my multi-media laptop. This drive is amazingly quiet. I use BeyondTV on this multi-media laptop. After a show records, BeyondTV goes back by way of it to look for commercials. The time it requires to go via a show has been decreased by almost half soon after switching to this 6. GB/s versus the earlier 3. GB/s drive. The drive runs a bit warmer than I'd like. It's not genuinely an situation, just additional of a preference. I haven't utilized Seagate in fairly some time due to Top quality Manage difficulties. Lately it appears that WD is now obtaining the QC problems so I believed I'd give Seagate one more try. So far, so go. I advise this drive.

Got 2 of these and set them up in RAID1. So far no troubles and I obtained a Windows 7 knowledge score of 7.7. Runs quiet! None however but I was somewhat disappointed that these units had been created in Thailand. I don't know what sort of reliability this implies. Mine arrived packed nicely with plenty of packing peanuts. Perhaps Newegg shipping department has realized that they can't be shipping really hard drives in boxes exactly where they bounce against everything and not have returns for DOA drives.

2 TBIf you have Sata three, this is a match created in heaven.If you don't, it's nevertheless plenty rapid.Future resistant (there's no such issue as future proof). I can't come across any Sata 3 solutions that are justifiably priced or run at 5-6Gb/s. Provided time, the market place will provide and I'll be there with โ handy.

Large and Quickly None so far

I have picked up 3 of the drives in the final few weeks. Drive runs quite and the speed is OK Two are working excellent proper now, a single was DOA, I really didn't uncover the more quickly speed I thought I would have I am ording 1 a lot more to produce a RAID on my new system, I hope I get superior speed and it doesn't fail on me.

Drive is nonetheless going sturdy after loading more info on it,(photos+games),miscellaneos info and so on...When I bought this drive,I wanted sufficient storage for music,games,films,and so forth.... I just gave a evaluation a handful of weeks back and nonetheless no difficulties nicely..........sorta I have a monster set up, Gpu overclocked, Gtx 480,Corsair 128gb ssd,and my score is 5.9. Maybe this drive is the factor but a uncomplicated difficult drive takes a score down to five.9??Like I said in the prvious critique I need to have got 2 450gb Seagate Cheetahs and place them in RAIDO.Coulda shoulda bla bla bla just an other believed.
