I have or have had most brands of hard drive and it's been a couple of years since I last bought a Seagate, so I thought I'd try this one. I put it in an enclosure, formatted it and copied 542 GB of data to it via Firewire 800 from my iMac, using SuperDuper to produce a back-up clone. The average copy speed was 43.51 MB/s (it took about 3 and a half hours) which is fine for a sustained FW800 data transfer rate and it was quiet. However, 2 weeks later, the drive is becoming noisier so I will be keeping a close eye on it. All hard drives fail at some point so just be prepared and BACK UP your data on a different drive. It seems that it has a 2 year limited warranty and according to Seagate the annual drive failure rate of the current Barracuda range is less than 1%.

Having owned a couple of these drives in the past (older models), I bought two of these up-to-date drives with great expectations. Unfortunately they did not quite 'cut the mustard' for me. Both 1Tb drives went into my machine, with an existing Seagate Barracuda from a couple of years ago. I found the new drives to be very noisy, and at least one of them has now also started to make peculiar screaming nosies at start up. Having spoken with the very helpful Seagate support services, they suggested the drives are returned, and thats just what I am doing, returning them back to Amazon. Putting the 'peculiar' noise aside, the constant hum and vibration from the new drives is just too distracting for me to work with.
On a positive note, these are very fast drives, and I did notice a swift change in startup and general use of the machine, with a newly installed system on one of the new drives. Would I buy another? Probably not this model, but I do not think it would put me off future purchases of Seagate drives. I base this on how good the older models I own have performed.

I bought this to run along side an SSD, not in raid but it works a treat. I'm using it for mass storage of music, photos and movies and duplicating them on WD live 1TB. The read and write speeds are great considering the programs used are on the SSD. I found it quiet and formatting the drive was simple. I read reviews on the WD raptor 10000rm drives (which are twice the price) and people havent noticed a great deal of excess speed using the raptor, once instance a person stated that a stop watch would be needed to see the difference and also the noise from the raptor is excessive. So overall a value for money purchase and will add another barracuda or momentis from seagate later. Oh and it came in a sturdy foam packed box.

It works
Fitted it as another backup drive in a NAS - as luck would have it, it was the same model drive that came with the NAS. Works a treat.

But relatively huge compared to my measly original. Havent done the tests, but it registers properly and works as quietly as the others. Can't complain one jot. Read more

Fast drive, sped up my Vista PC
I bought this at a lower price and I'm very happy with the drive. Performance is fast, everything works as it should and so I'd buy this again. Great value for money.
