 Crashed disk November 25, 2008
Daniel van der Watt (El Dorado Hills, CA 95762, USA)
One month later, or actually only about 3 weeks, and this brand-new disk has already crashed !!! What more need I say ??? Will try a disk from Maxtor next
 The warrantee, the warrantee, the warrantee November 15, 2008
Mark A. Underwood (NYC Metro)
Seagate stands behind this product with a 5 year warrantee. I've tried all the brands over the years, both IDE, SATA and SCSI, and nobody makes failure proof disk drives. I've sent back drives to everyone. SCSI will last you much longer with better performance, but at a much higher price point. I have six of these in various machines and they're quite satisfactory. You will probably be looking at 1TB models after summer 2008, but there are some heat and noise issues some report with those units. These are satisfactory in that regard. SATA is an improvement in some respects, but not hugely different in performance from IDE on most machines.
 Great Drive, Very, Very, Very Quiet November 12, 2008
Rhonda Geisler (Milpitas, CA)
I just purchased this drive and I cannot understand the reports that this drive is noisy. I think the noise must come from the enclosure vibrating and not from the drive.
It is so quiet I had to check to be sure it was powered up. I had to listen very carefully to even hear this drive during head seeks.
The DisWizard software, which is included, makes disk management and cloning the system so simple.
For the price, you cannot find a better hard drive!
major let-down November 8, 2008
Jasper (Racine WI)
I purchased this drive in September '08 and it crashed less than two months later. No warning signs--drive just failed. I was shocked because the Seagate name was highly recommended by a friend. Sure, the drive had an extra-long warranty and sure this could happen with any brand, but still a major pain in the ### dealing wih the aftermath. Fortunately I had all of my info backed up on an external HD. Less than two months out of this drive is ridiculous, after all, this is not a no-name company. Strangely enough, the drive that failed before this one was a Maxtor (which is also manfactured by Seagate). Seagate's customer service was not very helpful.
Great high capacity, high speed SATA drive September 30, 2008
M. Fagan
I needed a second drive for my workstation, and it was pretty much a choice between Western Digital and Seagate. This one seemed the best in terms of value and size. I may be building an external storage array in the near future, and I'll probably buy this drive again.
