Seagate has long been both an innovator and a crowd-pleaser in terms of data storage technology. The new ST31500341AS is the latest in a long line of Barracuda drives, with a storage and speed seldom seen. Designed with noise- suppression engineering and state-of-the-art speed and power this 1.5 TB powerhouse offers a brilliant combination of technology and low cost of ownership. Idling at only eight watts, this drive delivers up to 43% power savings over earlier generations without sacrificing performance.
When supported by the latest firmware updates, downloadable from Seagate once you've purchased your drive, this spectacular unit offers the best of both worlds -- top performance and a very small eco-footprint, so you know you have an industry leader AND are doing something good for the environment.

Great Drive with Updated Firmware
- Pros: Largest capacity drive out without a pricetag that reflects it.
- Cons: If this drives comes with the stock SD15, SD17, or SD19 firmware, beware of write cache flush lockups/freezes. Seagate has released a new SD1A firmware that fixes this issue.
- Other Thoughts: I'd give 5 stars if not for the firmware issue, even though it's fixed now. It will be a bit of a hassle for everyone, especially those without much technical knowledge.
- Pros: Large drive...
- Cons: Nvidia MB chipsets and vista stop at 73% on format.

click of death - no RMA possible
- Pros: Speedy and capacious. Quiet, when its working properly (see below). I have had none of the issues related to the firmware that others are reporting.
- Cons: Within the first six months the drive began to make loud, repetitive clicking noises. A quick search of the internet yielded the suggestion that this was the "click of death." However, the drive still passes all of the Seagate diagnostic tests. Now, no one who uses this site would be comfortable using a HDD that suddenly started making strange noises. I contacted Seagate via chat with a tech support person and was told not to RMA the drive unless the diagnostic tool returned an error code. I then asked whether I was safe using the drive and was told, "That depends on your comfort level." Well my comfort level is low and I purchased a new drive.
Good for the price, we'll see about the long haul
- Pros: Price - I was in the market for building a WHS (Windows Home Server) box and I had been waiting for a good deal on some 7200RPM drives. Newegg once again delivers with a great deal
Speed - 7200RPM drives, and not the "Green" drives promoted by WD or other companies.
Size vs. Cost - 1.5TB really hits the sweet spot on the cost per GB once the promo code kicks in, and free shipping too! Not to mention newegg even shipped same day =)
- Cons: None yet, lets hope all 3 drives pass S.M.A.R.T and come back clean.
- Other Thoughts: Drive comes with a 3 year warranty vs. 5 year warranty as seen in some of the higher models. I can live with the 3year warranty, and seagate has never let me down in the past.
I look forward posting feedback later this weekend when the drives come in. According to HardOCP, if I put these drives in a Raid-5 array I might even see burst speeds that come close to a SSD... we shall see!
It appears all issues are resolved.
- Pros: 1.5tb
Fast
Quiet
- Cons: None as of yet.
- Other Thoughts: I've watched these drives for months now and finally decided to order at $109 each. Two of these in a RAID 0 enclosure and all appears to work as expected.
(Issues wit the enclosure were not the fault of the drives)
