Burned badly by Seagate
- Pros: Was OK when working. I bought 50 of these to build RAID arrays about a year and a half ago. At first, they seem to work great. Lots of storage.
- Cons: After about a year, the drives started to fail. Yes, they all had 5 year warranty, but I was replacing one every other week, and I get refurbished drives in return.
Today, 4 drives showed problems, two each in two of my arrays, and 3 drives failed hard. I was able to get one array to rebuild because the second drive that showed problem came back. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before it goes as well. But the other array is dead; two failed drives in a RAID5 array takes it down. I just lost 7TB of data.
- Other Thoughts: Something must be inherently wrong with this model. as I lost about 10 of them so far. That's 20% failure rate! I hope the rest of mine do not all decide to go at the same time, and I hope it's restricted to this model, as I have plenty of 1TB versions of this drive as well.
Would I buy Seagate drives again? Who knows. I will definitely pay attention to public reviews in the future.
Terrible drive
- Pros: Worked out of the box, at least to begin with.
- Cons: Bought two of these drives for a RAID1 in my first computer build. In less than one years time both drives failed.
- Other Thoughts: Best thing about Seagate is the five year warranty. Will be buying something else in the future.
More bad news...
- Pros: It was cheap.
- Cons: Mine failed to be detected at boot.
- Other Thoughts: Very disappointing. Maybe I got what I payed for so going back to WD.
