- Would highly recommend checking your Event Viewer for System errors. Filter on Event ID = 7. - Do NOT back all your important data onto this drive unless you have a mirror array or ANOTHER backup!

- Big drive; cheap under $100

- Had to use SeaTools to initialize drive (a sign it was a bad drive) - Started getting "Bad Block" errors 7 days after light use - Errors progressively got worse

Bought two of these for my NAS. They arrived in a timely manor and work great. These are bare, unformatted drives and don't come with hardware, but if you're looking for a solid drive and a good value, theses should certainly fit the bill. Very pleased.

I added this as a second drive to hold video files. It makes a bit of start-up noise and it is not super fast, but so far - 3 weeks - it is doing the job. It does not come with mounting screws or any cables, just the drive. This is not a sports car, it is an 18 wheeler that will hold a lot of data.

I bought two of these a couple of years back to use in a mirrored configuration. Both failed, one within a year and the second within two years, just now at time of review. Fortunately I was able to replace the first immediately to restore the mirror and also kept other backups...

good hard drive. No problem to install. Only had for less than a month but no problems so far.

WITHOUT THE PRODUCT CARE PLAN THIS HD IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY IT HAS THE WORST PERFORMANCE RATING OF ALL HD'S MORE THAN 50% DIE IN THE FIRST YEAR

This is NOT a 2.5" drive - it's 3.5". Don't buy from Scan either because it will be your fault that you came from here.

3.5 inch

Very poorly packed by seller shiv shakti tech and also the courier partner which he delivered from was equally poor in handling the drive as well as a result received a DOA HDD not recognized its full space of 3000gb was recognising as a 4.1 gb drive and windows was not able to recognize the drove...

Easy To Install; Fast

Expensive; Runs Hot; Unreliable

I bought one and it has been shipped back, then the replacement was bad. My hard drive so far the first 30 days has spent more time with USPS than at my house. Look for another brand.

The Seagate ST2000DM001 is a two terabyte Serial ATA 3.0 hard drive that retails for less than $90 USD and is the subject of this weekend's benchmarks at Phoronix.
