Customer Reviews

Run from this company and this drive !!
Just a little over 3 weeks old and it died. Seagate's poor overseas tech support, of no help, they offer to send a `refurbished' drive (a used one) to replace what I purchased NEW. Called Seagate Corporate, no help, selecting numbers to more automated script recorded voices. No option to get to a real person or a operator. Good bye Seagate, poor service, poor drive. Save your money. Run from this company.

Work wonderfully!
I bought 2 of these drives for my Drobo, and they work wonderfully! Plenty of space, quick, quiet, incredibly reliable - what more can you ask for in a hard drive?

Who needs 1Tb of storage anyway?
Is it even possible for a single human being to accumulate 1TB of digital stuff worth storing? Honestly, I'm not really sure what to do with this much hard-drive. I'll just have to start hording pornography and downloading pirated movies.

1TB is a huge capacity. Even our small office has yet to fill more than 250GB of our 1TB Server storage. Still, I've found its easier to buy more disk space than I'll need anytime soon and consolidating all my stuff on one drive. It's a little riskier, that's true, but if you have data you don't want to lose then you should be making backups anyway.

BTW, this is a great price for the product. The local BB had the 16mb cache version for $180.00, and I was about to grab it but I checked on Amazon first and found the 32mb cache for just a few dollars more. Sweet deal.

Seagate has a reputation as a reliable brand for storage drives, and I find they tend to run better than Maxtor and other "bargain" brands. That doesn't mean they won't crash on you, but it might improve your chances of getting a sturdy product.

If you're worried about shipping, just remember that these drives don't show up in your local retail outlet's receiving bay nestled on soft pillows held aloft by angels. The Seagate packaging is tight, and the Amazon box is the usual deal with the plastic air packets. Good enough.

Make sure you actually have a SATA connection. This is different from the usual 19-pin deal. Most new computers will use SATA, but if you're not sure what you've got then check it out before you toss this in the cart.
