Worked fine right out of the box; installed and configured with no hassles.
I was able to easily configure it as a single partition. I configured it for GPT instead of MBR; and thus I have access to full 3TB (formatted as 2.72TB) without breaking it up into partitions. No extra software or hardware was needed.
I have a new PC the configuration made this install very straightforward: Asus P8P67 Pro REV 3.0 mobo, Intel i7-2600K CPU, 16GB RAM, two Intel 510 SSDs, 5 additional internal Seagate Barracuda HDs, two 3TB eSATA HDs Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1, Antec P183 v3 case, Antec CP1000 power supply,
It runs just slightly warm to the touch, about the same as my other non-SSD HDs. Note: I have a 120mm fan dedicated to my (lower) HD bay where these drives are installed.
I scanned the whole drive for bad spots without significant findings or problems.
I needed the 3TB of space for my digital photography hobby, so easy access to this much space is very welcome.

I'm using this in a Synology NAS, out of the box not a problem, the drive runs quiet and relatively cool. Transfer speeds are good too.

As soon as you install the HDD make sure you conver it from MBR disk to GPT disk. This is because the product arrives as a mbr disk meaning that the maximum data it holds is 2TB, but after converting it to GPT "you can use up all 3TB as 1 partition".
The following link will guide you through each step. Make sure you run command prompt as an Administrator.
From the link below follow solution 3 as it is more reliable and no need to download any 3rd party software.

Loads of space
Very quick and huge storage capacity you will need to use GPT format to get all 3TB's in use. recommended

A solid reliable drive.
I can't wildly enthuse about a Hard Drive, it is such a mundane piece of equipment. I have found Seagate products to be well made, reliable and solid; this drive is no exception.
