lwl 5/16/2013 9:51:35 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Large, high speed. Cons: Cannot put all capcity into one drive because the system does not reconize disk partition > 2GB 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A 5/16/2013 4:50:25 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/52 for 4 Pros: Nice price Cons: Reliability Other Thoughts: Ordered 4 of these for my 4 bay NAS. One was DOA which I guess explains why I couldn't get my NAS configured with all 4 plugged in. Reported 3.86GB (On a 3GB drive, NICE!) and I couldn't any tests to even recognize the drive serial number or firmware version. Swapped drive to a different bay, no go. Running my NAS with the 3 good drives and less than 1 day later I have a drive that is now reporting a 10,832 reallocated sector count. That seems such a HUGE number from one day to the next. My NAS spit out "remapped" notifications for over 3 hours. Maybe it will settle down and not have any more problems but not something I am willing to take a chance on while under warranty. PS - My other 2 drives report 0 reallocated sector count Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Mikhail 5/12/2013 5:45:55 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5	Rating: 3/5DONT USE AS A BOOT DRIVE! Pros: Large space, 7200rpm, runs cool. Cons: Unless you have a high-end motherboard, if you try installing windows on it, it will break the hard drive to only 2.1tbs! You can use seagates software to use the other 700gbs, but it will be on a separate disk! It also renders 300gbs useless. Other Thoughts: What I did to fix my problems is buy a SSD, install windows on there, and use the 3tb as a storage device. Since it isnt the boot device it can be fully utilized to have a maximum of 2.70 TB. 1 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Crux-Linux 5/12/2013 6:07:38 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5DOA Batch? Pros: good price to TB ratio (45$/TB at the time), and historically I favor Seagate over others. Cons: One of the two I ordered was DoA, as was the grade-A (new, not refurb) replacement drive. After this experience I'm going to return the 2nd drive (again) and go with something else. I base my loyalty to Seagate on the stability of the one working drive in the future. Other Thoughts: I bought two drives for a mirror. While my Nvidia NForce 980 does support 3TB HDDs, the raid controller (MediaSheild) does not and so truncates the mirror to 2TB. I'll use robocopy/rsync to manually mirror (backup) my data as this too has its advantages. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Lorem Ipsum 5/11/2013 1:44:23 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Hopeful, but cautious . . . Pros: Cheap Price. Cons: Seagate's infamous history of bad drives. Other Thoughts: I bought these because I was hoping Seagate was over their notorious period of completely unacceptable drive failure. This, and the fact that Samsung, about the best, was bought out by Seagate, and are no longer available. So far, they both work, and quietly. But I am still leery, as one should be, with a name brand with Seagate's history. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/11/2013 10:23:35 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Big, works as intended. Cons: No longer applicable. Other Thoughts: Previously wrote a review talking about how loud this drive was. Giving it another egg as after owning it for a while the reverberating vibration noise has gone away and now its just a great hard drive. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

klue22 5/11/2013 10:23:19 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Almost DOA Pros: It wasn't completely dead. Cons: Only showed about 800GB of unallocated space. Didn't even show up on one of my controllers. Other Thoughts: Better off buying a good solid brand like Western Digital. I guess you get what you pay for. 1 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

N/A 5/10/2013 6:52:13 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Died after 2 months Pros: Cheap Fast Cons: Died after 2 months of very little use Click Click dead. Cant Pass Seatools tests. Hope RMA is painless. I had the Chinese version that you couldn't do firmware update on. Other Thoughts: Hope there wont be an issue with the replacement drive 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Lance 5/7/2013 1:20:54 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5So far so good. Pros: I bought 2 of these babies for a very cheap special new egg was running. I put them in a probox usb 3 enclosure that fits 4 sata drives. I backed up all of my older smaller drives onto one and then cloned it to the second one. Now I can clean out my closet of 15 old firewire drives!! Cons: non thus far. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Peter 5/7/2013 10:40:01 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5So far so good Pros: Not bad. Working good Cons: Looks like opened box Not in a box, it's shipped as a plastic enclosure. It's shipped as a status of MBR, not GPT. Seller really want to use this as two partition ? One for 2TB and another for 700GB ? I do not know who made this type. But, I just changed type and now is okay. Other Thoughts: They need to write down about the enclosure - not a box. Also, they need to show a status of type - MBR or GPT 0 out of 9 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
