Seagate Barracuda Green ST1000DL002 1TB 5900 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Bare Drive -Bare Drive

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Cheap. You get what you pay for. Died in 14 days

Other Thoughts: I had this hard drive for 14 days. After that it went to pieces. Windows gave me an error that the hard drive was going to die very soon and I had just installed this on a new computer with brand new everything. It was going to be a data drive for my Computer while the SSD booted windows. Anyway I had to back up everything and send it to Seagate. New one *refurbished - since you don't actually get new drives when you send yours back* has worked so far but I don't think I'll ever buy a barracuda green again. Hard Drives that die in two weeks don't make me a happy person.

Pros: It is perfectly functional, has plenty of space for everything I need to use it for, and has never given me any problems.

Cons: No complaints here.

Pros: No issues so far, using the drive as a replacement for a failed drive in my IOmega home NAS

Cons: none, I just wonder if I could have used a faster drive in my NAS

Pros: I think I only rated this 3 the first time. Raising that to 5. I'm using this for storage, it's seen a LOT of use in the months I've had it. No problems whatsoever. I see that either NewEgg has stopped carrrying this drive or it is not being made any longer.

This is a good drive, I think that it is either good, you get it and it works, hence the 5 star reviews, or, you get it and it's a DOA drive, ergo the 1 stars. In my case it was good, it worked and is still working. It does not get as hot as my WD drives and it makes no noise at all. So mostly my rating is based on the price and the speed of delivery, and it's status of the last four months.

Cons: It works so I got NO cons. Actually, that this drive is no longer being stocked, is a big one. I think this drive got a bad rap, sometimes a batch of drives can be bad - Like the early 2000's slim Maxtor hard drives - They were design-wise great drives, but 4 in 5 drives failed within one week. But one in five, still work in 2013 as well as they did in 2001. These Seagates are in no wise as bad as those Maxtors, but I think that there was a batch of drives that were just bad to start with, and you were lucky to get a good one.

Other Thoughts: If I canafind more of these I'll certainly get them. 1 TB hard drives used to be about 60 bucks, back in 2010 "defore the deluge" - Now they are rediculous. I have found a local store that carries 1 TB 7200 rpm Barricudas for this same price, that would be sans shipping costs. But I actually prefer buying from NewEgg, so I hope soon they have a deal as good as this was soon, as I need more high-volume hard drives.

Pros: Great price, fast shipping

Cons: DOA

Pros: It powers up.... but that is it

Cons: Out of thousands of hard drives that I have worked with as a PC Tech since 1993.... I have never seen a drive that is so sow in my life. To transfer 426GB of data onto it, it will take more than 2 DAYS!!! This is Seagate's worst drive and the SLOWEST I have ever encountered!

Other Thoughts: Save your money.... this drive being called a "GREEN" drive means nothing other than spending more "GREEN" to get another drive! This was part of a bundle deal. Seagate has stunk since the 7200.10.

Newegg.... do your customers a service and drop this pieve of *rap.

Pros: 1tb. Storage.

Cons: Very noisy when it spins up.

Other Thoughts: Great!

Pros: It's faster than my old 7200rpm HDD. Read/writes 100mb/s. Plenty of room for games and other programs the SSD doesn't need.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I kind of want to buy a 7200rpm 6gb/s just to see if it's that much faster.

Pros: Quick install. Great speed, plenty of room to run as primary drive.

Cons: None

Pros: 5900 RPM instead of 5400 RPM
Good transfer speeds

Cons: None so far
