Out of the six 500 GB drives I ordered as new, when I put them in my servers 3 of them came up as unallocated disk space and did not to be initialized. This told me they were used. The other 3 seemed to be new and were asking to be initialized properly.

I use it as an external storage drive and it's still working perfectly.

We use this hard drive as part of a hybrid RAID system for our server that services roughly 25 client computers at any one time. We have not had any fail over the course of one year in service.

One thing i could not get the warranty for the procuct i purchased. When i entered the product details in the seagate website to the check the warranty period it was not showing any details in the warranty period. But when i purchased it was shown as 2 years warranty.

I got four of these disks for a RAID 10 array. My PC had an on-board controller with the Intel chip-set, so I tried out RAID 5 and RAID 10. RAID 10 worked a treat. Very fast read/write speeds whereas RAID 5 had dreadful write speed due to the on-board controller.

I got this drive with a bare bones bundle deal. It's not a high performance system. I installed this drive and it's working just fine. Up time so far is about 2 weeks. :) Performance seems quite good.

This HD is being used for one of my servers and works just great as it should.

I replaced a 250GB on a older PC and installed Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit and nice and quiet !! No errors at install, not that I ever see any with new drives but Seagate is what I think Top 5 hard drives?

The product is good and easy to install too.but there is a small complaint that with the hard disk the dealer should also provide the connecting cable

Easy To Install; Fast; Highly Compatible; Quiet; Reliable

I bought 5 of these about a year and a half ago befor the hhd market went crazy. Got them for 40$ a peice on sale. 1 was doa but the other 4 have run flawlessly. I have 3 in raid0 and the other one by its self in another build.Great price for the performace at the time i bought.

Cheap at the time
