This review is from: Seagate BarraCuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros:
REALLY FAST DRIVE!! AND I was able to backup all my DATA from the Seagate very quickly -- to a Western Digital drive. Windows 7 was able to detect that S.M.A.R.T had been triggered -- which means that the Seagate drive is about to take a DIVE. Hence the backup before the Seagate no longer works at all.
Cons:
S.M.A.R.T started reporting errors. So the drive must now be sent back to Seagate. So far getting an RMA number hasn't been too bad. I had to run SeaTools which informed me the drive was failing and gave the error code for the Seagate return. I will let you know if I ever get the replacement drive Seagate has promised.
Overall Review:
Will write more when and IF i get a replacement drive. Time will tell.
