Categories > Internal Hard Drives > Seagate > Seagate Desktop HDD.15 ST4000DM000 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Great Packing
Pros: Ordered 3 of these. The quality of packing was excellent - multiple layers bubble wrap in peanuts. Don't know if this is technically good enough for Seagate warranty purposes but it seems very reasonable to me.
Cons: I haven't always been this impressed by the packaging but I think it may have been years since it seemed questionable.
Other Thoughts: Haven't broken the labels yet on these 3 drives. My previous experience with this model has been positive, particularly with the low level of audio output at idle.

I may get a chance to try these on Intel C206 / ICH10R RAID-5 on Windows 8.

Pros: Great drives. Over all worth the money for any NAS related builds (home or office).
Cons: Wish they were like their 2TB brothers in Power usage. They use a slight bit more power than I was expecting.

Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2 DOA, poor packaging
Pros: Bought 8 of these. So far 7 work well in a RAID 6 array without issue. Performance seems OK, none have dropped out yet so crossing my fingers there.
Cons: One was DOA with bad sectors and sent back to Newegg, but RMA was denied due to a dent on the drive. Probably what caused the failure to begin with - either poor packing on Newegg's part or a bad batch from the manufacturer.
Other Thoughts: Check any drives received for any physical damage whatsoever and return ASAP or else Newegg won't help you out. Newegg will also deny RMAs for any physical damage to the shipping box.

Somewhere in the process of manufacturing/sending these drives to customers causes them to be beat up quite badly, since lots of other reviews are also noting physical damage and denied RMAs.

Categories > Internal Hard Drives > Western Digital > WD WD AV-GP WD20EURS 2TB 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Works Great in Tivo
Pros: Cost - for $75 you get an AV rated drive that is perfect for installing in a DVR or home security recorder. Capacity - 2TB is a nice bump from the ~160GB class drives installed on some Tivos. Compatibility - Works perfect as an upgrade to my two Tivos (Series 3 HD and a Premiere/4).
Cons: 90 Day Warranty. Test the drives as soon as you get them. The warranty is only 90 days. In my experience, drives will fail very early on or tend to last for the duration of the warranty. Save yourself some bucks by buying the factory-refurbished drive. The sticker on the drive from the manufacturer shows it is a refurbished drive from Western Digital.
Other Thoughts: The two I bought to upgrade my Tivos have been working great for a couple of months now. I would buy these drives again if the need comes up.

Categories > Internal Hard Drives > Seagate > Seagate Barracuda STBD2000101 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Retail kit

Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5Rating + 5 Fast & easy
Pros: Easy to install, fast, DiskWizard software
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: Easy enough that my 14-year-old son installed it, with a little supervision. The Seagate DiskWizard software worked especially well. We were replacing a boot drive with multiple partitions. That often results in a computer that doesn't boot and a full Windows re-install. Not this time, the transfer went flawlessly and the new drive booted right up. Faster boot and access times too.

Rating + 4Rating + 4Rating + 4Rating + 4Rating + 4 Disable APM to stop clicking sounds!
Pros: Have acquired two of these from Newegg so far and both are the two-platter variants
Cons: Aggressive APM
Other Thoughts: Everyone who gets these drives will most likely, within minutes of powering it up, begin to wonder what that frequent clicking sound is. This device has some aggressive Advanced Power Management going on. Disable APM and it will no longer make the clicking sounds. Google 'disable APM'. The first entry is about a Barracuda relative!

Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1Rating + 1 DOA
Pros: They were nicely packaged and arrived promptly.
Cons: I bought 2 of these drives and they were both DOA.
My raid controller recognized then but said they needed a low level format. I did that (Took all day).
When finished, it still said the weren't initialized.
I own 2 others from a few years ago. One of those is also bad. (WD never again)

Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2Rating + 2 DOA
Pros: High capacity
Seagate
Cons: DOA
Pay for return shipping for something that arrived dead
Other Thoughts: First time I ever received a hard drive DOA. I don't like the fact I have to pay return shipping for something that was sent to me broken. I may have to start looking at local retailers if this is going to be a new trend.
