cost and straightforward set up compatibility. It won't perform with the motherboard I have MSI 7125 Verify the compatibility prior to you acquire... My fault, didn't believe about that possibilty.

It worked well and quick for the first week I downloaded HDD to monitor all of my Tough Drives with, immediatly it told me that my 1TB Seagate was at 80% health and that this 2TB drive was at one hundred%, the very next week this 2TB drive dropped to 70% well being and seatools would not run any test on the drive. Referred to as seagate tech support and they sent my the seatools for DOS and told me to run the test in DOS, funny thing is that the test would crash at 70%. Ironic that Seagate told me not to trust HDD Health as it was a 3rd celebration software program, but man was it accurate about the drive getting only at 70% well being as the Seatools for Dos crashed at 70% 4 times in a row. The 1TB drive died final week, which is why I pushed Seagate to replace this drive immediatly with a new drive, not recertified ahead of this 1 bites the dust. I would advise any person considering Seagate hard drives to appear elsewhere, these drives are just junk!

Quiet, great size, speeds, cache, interface. RAID five with 4 of these drives is super rapid more than gigabit network. Want I had a SATA 6.0Gb controller for them. Cost per GB. Had 1ǚ DOA. Delayed a server develop for a client by a couple of days. RMA was painless minus return shipping. Apparently this is the identical hardware as the enterprise class tough drives, so the upside is you get leading of the line hardware for a modest value enhance.

Great drive at a fantastic price. Painless to set up, and as-advertised efficiency. None.

NONE but Died when formatting.. 1st Seagate drive to die in მ years considering that I've been in the sector...died when formatting....

Huge storage, employing them in Thermaltake Max 4 external enclosures and internally. None. Desktop RAID drives ought to almost certainly not be utilized for anything but the simplest RAID setups. I would not pick this solely for RAID but I did RAID (Windows Dynamic striping, and also attempted HighPoint 622 and 640 RR) for a bit to see that it does function. Maintaining the drive cool is the ideal way to make certain any difficult drive lives lengthy. My systems are working with an Antec 500 case with Asus P5Q Pro Turbo (P45) motherboards.

Feels more rapidly than my 720.12 Seagates. Fat, quiet, quick. None SATA 3GB/sec and SATA 6GB/sec functionality feels the identical in use.

Comment:
Quiet, quickly, reliable. I use this drive as my main method archive. It gets updated at least daily. I not too long ago went via a total consolidation of a variety of drives to this a single, totaling 1200GB. It was operating, in a Rosewill RX-358-U3B enclosure, for about 18 hours straight. Not a flicker. Fabulous drive. It wasn't free, by a extended shot, but worth it. I was informed by Seagate that the XT class drives are essentially enterprise level SCSI drives with a 6Gb SATA interface, so it should really last a fantastic extended time. With the Rosewill USB 3. enclosure, it screams.

speed for a disk drive ( have a single now) if you raid 2 in you could have 4TB storage @ 220 - 280MB/s read which is incredibly great for 350 bucks for 4TB storage. far more costly but thats simply because of the speed . individuals with the price tag cons just don't understand. Of course theres the green edition that for 1.5 or 2TB for about 100 bucks ( very good for backups, pictures ). but if your gonna use it every day this will be alot better.

This is a adhere to-up to my prior feedback (Not Compatible with a 6Gb/s eSATA Add-on Card).The drive operates great BUT only in a 3Gb/s environment. Because the drive is (inherently) more rapidly and (backwards compatible), you will get a small improvement in performance (over a 3Gb/s drive) if you use the drive in a USB 3. enclosure. The drive will NOT perform in an eSATA external enclosure that is connected to a 6GB/s eSATA add-on card. According to Seagate Technical Help, the drive is NOT supported for use in an external enclosure. No mention (so far) about the 6Gb/s atmosphere concern. My (email) Correspondence with Seagate TS:Seagate Response: Please note this is not a Network drive, and also this drive is not supported on an external enclosure.My (excerpted) Reply: Your response is Really STRANGE!!ŋ) I did not mention anything about using the drive as a network drive - only that the test atmosphere was a Server 2008 machine.2) I have re-tested the drive on a Windows 7 machine - the outcomes had been the identical.three) AND MOST Critical: Really should I take your response {" this drive is not supported on an external enclosure"} to mean that everyone making their personal external disk drive options (enclosure + disk) ought to NOT use the Seagate Barracuda XP 2TB 6Gb/s because the drive will not be supported by Seagate?P.S. (personal comment)If Seagate does not support the drive in external enclosures, then Seagate should not have adopted the SATA Revision three. Ɩ Gbits/s) specifications.

noiseless, quickly none this is the replacement for my DOA drive

two TB of difficult drive memory will go a long methods. Seagate Ultimately release the 2 TB in 7200 RPM. Ideal for us pack rats out there! It took a excellent 6 hours to format the 1st 1 to install Windows 7 on. But other then that it works fantastic. When setting up an further 1 of these as a storage drive on your pc you will want to get the Disk Utility from Seagate. I had this CD from a earlier Seagate drive and formatted all 2 TB just about immediately. Otherwise it will take 6 hours to use the Windows OS CDs

* * * * 1 year of fantastic 24ǝ service * * **There is an Intel chip dilemma presently with P67 P65 chipset where as you may possibly suspect your difficult drive giving you complications it can be your chipset impacted by electromigration. Motherboards had been recalled from newegg and other areas and the replacements are coming ultimately. If you are employing new Intel motherboard verify about this dilemma and don't blame tricky drive ideal away--test it on one more program and make sure you set up most current BIOS in your motherboard producing sure it supports 2GB challenging drives. **Not a con for this drive but the cost at which it was introduced was a lot greater--more than 跌 and I got it on sale for 趷 (that's final cost like @ฤ promo code.) I paid significantly for being an early adopter of the 6GB/s Sata3 standard but the drive was spectacularly reputable and quiet and cool (hard drives use smaller sized and smaller sized = cooler electronics as the years go by.) Because this hard drive is so cool you can set up it in any external enclosure which includes SOHO types with out ventilation (to maximize quietness) and fans (to maximize reliability because of the electro-mechanical fan failure tendencies.)*It's not an extremely speedy challenging drive but good enough at 﩮 MB/s USB three. stabilized data out (out of Koutech IO-EEU330 3.five" Black USB 3. External Enclosure Newegg Item #N82E16817364027.) I am sure it can do considerably better in RAID and making use of native Sata3 bus with it's NCQ protocols. **This is an very reputable challenging drive--I've been employing it 24ǝ as a P2P network file location and as a file operand and storage/backup spot for smaller Raptor boot difficult drive personal computer setup theme.*I normally go with Western Digital Blacks but I went with this drive mainly because it was the only 6GB/s solution obtainable at the time of acquire. Seagate beat WD by about a year at 6GB/s game and despite the fact that the distinction for a platter tricky drives at Sata2 vs Sata3 speeds is minimal at best it is still good to know your buy is future proofed. Think about future--it's coming.

Fantastic speeds. Cost I have had seagate hhd's fail just before so we will see how extended this one particular final.

Comment:
Purchased four of these to use in a DS410 NAS about 6 weeks ago. So far so fantastic: no concerns, run quiet, no high load/unload count challenges like WD drives. Constantly wish they had been more affordable, but you get what you spend for.

2tb of space.I have added almost everything on this drive and it has only applied up a tenth of it.I believed with all I have put on it,that it was at least half way complete.Not even close.Value is coming down. Drive came in a not-so-fantastic package.The second most significant item in my build and it came in a package that if a heavy woman sat on it,it is accomplished(bad instance).If it gets dropped and slightly banged about,properly,you know what I am acquiring at.I paid 跋.99 five months ago for this drive. This drive is more than enough to deal with all of my storage.Allthough I primarily game.I need to have just got 2 Seagate cheetah 450gb 15,000rpm drives and put them in Raid0.That would have been efficiency maximum and a decent quantity of storage.But on the other hand 7,200rpm is decent speed.

Comment:
Quick and effective! Load instances are quick and relatively painless. none I really should have bought far more for raid! (Although not out of necessity)

Comment:
-- Worked like a charm out of the box.-- Cleared disk check with flying colors-- Quick as advertised-- quiet to my ears-- Runs pretty cool Not so significantly a con, but its a massive - heavy drive. I am using this as my storage drive for vids - pics - music. It functions truly properly the 128 SSD.

Comment:
Big capacity, low noise, huge buffer. Excellent for substantial file transfers/backups. None.

Comment:
Making use of as a scratch disk for Final Cut Pro on a Mac Pro Tower running Snow Leopard... east to install and quick transfer rates. None so far... possibly cost...

Comment:
Quiet, Quickly, Huge, Excellent when connected to 3Gb/s information port. The drive is not compatible with eSATA 6Gb/s add-on cards. I tried numerous combinations making use of 4 distinct eSATA enclosures and three different eSATA 6GB/s cards. Each time I connected the enclosure to the eSATA 6Gb/s card, either the enclosure/disk was not recognized or if recognized, the server "crashed" when I tried to copy files. A lot more a CAUTION than a criticism. The drive operates when connected to a 3Gb/s supply - which is the most typical connection. I have contacted/notified Seagate Tecnical Help and I am sure they will resolve the compatibility concern.Except for the reality that I have a somewhat specialized want/purpose, I would not gesitate to use/purchase this drive.

Thes drives perform fantastic for carrying out backups to. I purchased 4. Two for doing laptop backus and 2 for my desktop backups. I've had western digital ones and they seem to die the day right after the warranty expires. --They do the click thing. So I'm going to give Seagate a try. Seems a bit high priced for 7200 rpms I wish it was packed a bit much better. I purchased four and they had been floating around in the box with popcorn foam. The drives themselves had been in a stiff foam frame with 1 side getting no foam. The complete thing was wrapped in bubble wrap and the side lacking the firm foam protection had all of the bubble wrap bubbles popped on that side. The drives seem to nonetheless work although.

Bought 2 of these and set them to Raid-1 Worked wonderful, didn't make substantially noise and runs cooler then most challenging drives and not substantially vibration either. For some causes it didn't score so excellent on files transfer rate test. score was " five.7 " with Raid-1, I can get the same score with a single 32mb Cache 3.0Gb/s. If anybody can shed some light on what I am carrying out wrong Please E-mail me ginn3rd@hotmail.com. Considering that that was my initially time raiding a hard drive i could be performing a thing wrong. For the most part I'm just very content that it work on my initial try and that it's not DOA or deffected, I have constantly trusted SeaGate when it comes to Tricky Drives

Reputable, So far these drives are rock solid in desktop raid. Been using in RAID1 and RAID10, no errors and extremely quickly. Operates well with the onboard Intel Matrix Storage. none, except price tag, but you get what you spend for. Haven't attempted in external RAID boxes, they operate excellent with onboard RAID, just picked up 4 additional to setup a third RAID10 box.
