Comment:
substantial capacity two died inside a week Believed possibly that 7200.11 series was just a negative batch of drives a handful of years ago but it looks like that seagates reputation for reliability is extended gone. Only gave them 1 egg simply because no eggs is not permitted.

In reply to jpcompute's comment: He clearly doesn't know what he is performing. There is absolutely nothing incorrect with your drive, figure out what you're doing prior to leaving damaging evaluations for a solution. These critiques are quite severe you don't just go close to performing that mainly because you're feeling all emotional. NOne Please repair that guy's critique, this is not fair to Seagate and their release of a brand spanking new drive with new technologies. This is a Incredibly Fantastic AND Really Fast DRIVE.

Comment:
Upgraded from a 1TB and actually like the added space. Straightforward installation with Seagate DiscWizard v13. Difficult drive was recognized at 2.72TB and my 1TB drive was copied more than in no time. It was surprisingly seamless upgrade with my household network. A bit high price, but then I'm getting 3TB of storage. Not sure if the warranty is 3 or 5 years. I've noticed both. Will have to examine the Seagate web page. A tiny concerned on overall performance from the critiques I've read. I hope this drive keeps on spinning and the performance is adequate.

Quite rapid. Quiet. Straighforward installation. Considerably quicker than my WD2001FASS, which move correct along.Newegg packed each and every 1 in bubble wrap and placed every single in its personal small box, which was then placed in larger box. Excellent packing Newegg. None. Initialized two of these drives on the native 6Gb/s, working with Acronis Disk Director (GPT) on new ASUS P8P67 DELUXE (REV 3.) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3. ATX Intel Motherboard.Booting Win 7 from Intel SSD.

Comment:
Used with a USB 3. dock. Speed is about 150MB/s each techniques. Doesn't appear to get too hot. I didn't want their formatting software at all. I'll update later if any problems arise. Didn't come with Britney Spears telephone number. (Manufacturer's Response?) I have Win 7 64 SP2. I strategy on using this to shop huge avi's of household movies and stuff from my Dish DVR. So if this dies I won't have seriously lost anything TOO crucial (I'll nonetheless maintain the original household VHS). I don't very trust WD at this capacity, so I'm taking a opportunity with Seagate...(again).

Comment:
None Bought 5 and 3 were DOA all with distinct complications. One would beep for 20 seconds on power up and never spin up. One would by no means be recognized as the proper model and be or able to verify smart status. The third sounded like it was scraping the head across the platters, Reminiscent of the an old Barracuda drive. Would you trust your information on these drives?

Cons:Capacity is a little lacking. Seriously, it's 2011, where are my 1PB hard drives?

Pros:Cheap, fast and reliable.
Comment:
I've got 12 in a 30TB RAID6 array, and they play nicely with the RAID card (3ware 9750-4i) as well as a SAS expander. They're pretty fast (averaging ~1.2GB/s read or write rate in my array) and I haven't had any issues with them.
