1 out of 5 eggsnot reliable

Pros: cant think of any they did fine for a year

Cons: bought 8 of these for a raid unit, lasted about a year before the first one went out, then they started going down like dominoes, 2 years later none of the original 8 are still alive and I don't use them anymore, replaced all drives and rebuilt raid with different drives

5 out of 5 eggsDecent Hard Drive

Pros: I have been using this HDD for about 2 1/2 months now as a secondary storage drive to compliment my 120gb SSD. It has worked great so far.

Paid only $70 for it, which was about the price of 1tb drives at the time. Well worth it.

Cons: none

1 out of 5 eggsClick of Death

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Almost 1 year of average use, this drive failed. Complete hard drive crash with the "Click of Death", search the term with Seagate on any search engine and you will notice that there was a 31% failure rate with these drives, yet Seagate continues to sell them

Other Thoughts: 1 star is 1 too many. This is a bad product.

1 out of 5 eggsBad Drive

Pros: Worked great for the first 60 days.

Cons: After 60 days the drive died.

Other Thoughts: The price for this fast 1.5tb drive was great at the time of purchase but not worth it in the end.

1 out of 5 eggsWhat happen to the 5yr and 3yr warranty!

Pros: See other thoughts.

Cons: No 3 or 5 year warranty. Seagate!!! A 1 year warranty! Really.

Other Thoughts: Been using Seagate drives for years. First drives I bought years ago came with a 5 year warranty. I was disappointed when they reduced it to a 3 year warranty.....but only a 1 year warranty...while the compeition offers the same type and capacity with a 5 year warranty? Love Seagate but will have to decline purchasing this drive, and get the Western Digital instead.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat - Fast - Reliable

Pros: Sata 6
4.15 seek time
Fast file transfer
60-85mbps drive to drive
70- peak 90mbps drive to USB 3.0 flash drive
20-50mbps transferring 1gb files from two differnt drives of same type to two other drives of same type. So nearly 2 gigs of info swapping between four drives.

1.5tb of space for less than 150, can't go wrong.

Lots of people seem to equate Seagate with cheap drives that are prone to failure, but I haven't had nearly as many failures with Seagate as I have with WD. Who knows, maybe I'm just lucky.

Cons: Its still moving parts which will eventually fail and even though its sata 6, the speed won't ever reach SSD speeds.
Tend to get loud when heavily used.

Other Thoughts: I'm not sure if Rocky is reviewing the correct drive as this 1tb per platter technology has only been out just under a year or so. Two years of ownership? Uh huh....

Anyways, this drive is decent and picking it up from Newegg for 129 is a great deal for 1.5tb of space using new sata 6 technology.

Seagate has always been great with RMA when I've had to use them. Not saying that I have used them a lot because there quality is junk but because I use the **** out of drives and can grind a WD into the ground just as fast.

Currently run 4 of these drives plus 4 wd black sata 6 in a nas setup and would put the Seagate drives above them easily.

1 out of 5 eggsHard Drive Failure

Pros: Worked as expected...when it worked..

Cons: Seagate is junk. As another reviewer stated I owed 4 Western Digital hard drives all of which are older than this seagate and this hard drive just failed on me.. I owned this seagate for almost 2 years than just this morning it pooped out...I had a terrabyte of important data backed up on this hard drive! It came out of nowhere too.. I didn't use this drive that much at all and for it to be the first to go..! My oldest western digital is over 4 years old and still running strong..This is very depressing.

Other Thoughts: I am never going to purchase another seagate product and I'm going to make an effort to stop others I know from buying from them..Hard drives SHOULD NOT got out after 2 years of light use! garbage..
