Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Pros: If I could get past the annoying noise, I might be able to find one

Cons: I have replaced this very same hard drive 4 times in less than 1 month. It makes the most annoying clicking sound that happens every 30 seconds or so. It's like water torture. I've done tests on this drive to make sure it is working properly and it seems to pass all tests...but that noise is driving me nuts. I even took the hard drive completely out of my computer and replaced it with the one from my old computer...and voila, blessed silence. Seagate must be aware by now that there is a flaw with this model hard drive, I just wish they would fix it.

Pros: The system recognized the drive. It works like I need it to, at the moment its merely just for storage. depending on what you are saving to this drive 2tb should be enough.

Cons: none that I can notice.

Pros: 1. Size
2. Price
3. Cache
4. RPM
5. OS Agnostic
6. SATA 6.0GB/s based tech

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: I bought the one year extended warranty to alleviate any worries about maintenance beyond 2 years. Well worth the price for the service from Newegg.

It's primary function is a data drive seeing as I'm moving to SSD for boot/OS.

Posting issues are centered around Windows. I would like to know more about the filesystem used, which Windows Kernel/OS and the frequency.

On OS X, Linux and FreeBSD these issues don't surface.

I bought the retail package for $104. Worth the extra few dollars. Includes Drivers/Diagnostic Software and SATA cable.

Newegg really should start flagging reviews that all too often come in bunches whenever a product gets a quality run of positive reviews. Grow up people. I expect details when a drive fails and the symptoms not the same schtick about random unnecessary post commands annoying the user.

Pros: -Cheap
-a lot of storage

Cons: -slow
-broken
-clicking noise!!! <-!!!! BAD

Pros: Good price for the size of the drive

Cons: Ordered 2 - 1 dead on arrival the other makes a funny noise when starting.
Returned DOA drive for a replacement. Just hope the replacement works and they both hold up with use.

Other Thoughts: I usually bought Seagate drives and since Seagate bought them out I thought I would try Seagate. Might have been a mistake and will have to go back to WD.

Pros: Affordable 2 TB drive
7200 RPMs

Cons: None yet

Pros: use it software raid 5 - works very well

Cons: none so far

Pros: Fast drives
No problems mirrored
Arrived as working units

Cons: Squealing noise was horrible when drives were accessing data. A pair of these mirrored was easily heard in a standard office work space.

Other Thoughts: If these are going in a computer tucked away in a closet or out of earshot, then great. Right next to your desk will drive you insane.

Pros: A lot of space...

Cons: After the first couple weeks I had it, I had to reinstall windows because of failure. It wouldn't read windows files. It clicks a few times upon start up and I have to check the disk to see whats up. I was very excited about this drive, but meh.

Pros: 1. Ample storage space for data
2. Good quality
3. Price was right

Cons: Not an SSD drive.. but I knew that when i bought it. NO CONS.

Other Thoughts: Bought this hard drive for my daughters budget build Internet computer. Put it in a system with an AMD Athlon II 270 Regor 3.4 gig cpu, and Biostar A880GZ motherboard and 4 gigs of corsair memory. This hard drive worked flawlessly from the moment i pushed the power button on. Installed Windows 7 Ultimate with no problems at all. This is a 3 terrabyte drive and I seriously doubt that she will ever use all of that available storage space, but if needed she will be able to store it all. This seems to be a very stable and fast hard drive for not being an SSD. Highly recommend this hard drive for anyone needing a good cost effective drive with ample storage space.
