Be the first on your block with a Terabyte drive. This Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 series drive uses second generation perpendicular recording technology to pack the data in tighter than ever. Not only does this lead to the increased capacity that gives you 1TB of storage it also makes the drive faster and more efficient. Since the data is closer together the read/write heads don’t need to move as far. And if the drive works faster, you work faster.
The SoftSonic motor enables ultra-quiet performance so you don’t have to worry about drive noise distracting you if your system in on your desk. Enhanced G-Force Protection defends against handling damage which is especially useful if you put the drive into an external enclosure, or if you put it in a system that you transport to LAN parties.
Have the biggest Barracuda on the block, and strike "tera" into the hearts of your opponents!

Pros: Large and fast. The first thing you have to know is the drive comes limited to 1.5 Gbits per second. By removing the jumper you allow the drive to auto-negotiate up to 3.0 Gbits per second. Google Seagate's manual "100452348b.pdf" and cruise to the top of page 20. All is explained in the PDF. Pull the jumper and NOW you have some serious speed !!!
Cons: Wish the drive came with the above info ...
Other Thoughts: Price isn't too bad. I remember paying $800 for a 1G drive when that was the "BIG BAD DRIVE".

Pros: This thing is huge, fast and quiet. I read some of the reviews about noise but haven't found it to be true with the one I received. Installation was quick, with some research, (see other thoughts)and the drive works flawlessly.
Cons: The cost was a little prohibitive but compared to the huge capacity and quick performance I wouldn't hesitate to recomend it.
Other Thoughts: I would have liked a little more information provided on the difference between the NS and AS versions in the product descriptions. Even Seagate’s site was vague. It would have made it easier to get it in and running if the “initialization and formatting” information had been provided with the drive so I didn't have to scour the web for it. I'm sure someone with experience installing drives wouldn’t see this as a problem but for an average person, some basic installation info would be a big plus. Another big unknown that I didn't notice on Seagate's site was that the drive had a removable jumper installed that limited it to 150mb. I had to find out on a review here at newegg (Thank You!) that it could be removed to allow the drive to run full speed. I realize that the “problems” I listed are because of my limited knowledge but thought it might be helpful to other in the same position.

Pros: So far so good. All of the drives I bought worked perfectly as soon as they were installed. No recoginition problems as others reported, and no errors during low level formats or drive scans. I can barely hear them operating (ambiant sound level in my case is ~65dB, read/write clicks are ~70dB as measured 3" from the drive being used, and that's with 7 hard drives and 5 fans ranging from 3-4"), and they're barely warm (about 100 degrees as reported by the drives themselves), so I don't know what others are complaining about, perhaps I got a newer batch?
Cons: That little "limit throughput to 1.5 Gbps" jumper is a real pain to get off, and I can't imagine how you would ever get it back on!
Other Thoughts: With regard to the comments I've read about Seagate not honoring the warantee on OEM drives: that is simply not true, I contacted Seagate about this before I bought, and here is their reply:
"Dear Steve,
With regards to your query, we would like to inform you that if you purchase the drive independently from an authorized retailer, Seagate would honor the full warranty from your date of purchase, 1year warranty for external drives and 5 year warranty for internal drives. We suggest you to preserve a copy of your Proof Of Purchase for future reference.
*Please note that the 5-year warranty is applicable ONLY to Internal drives shipped on or after June 1st, 2004."
and
"Dear Steve,
This is with regards to your query, we would like to inform you that Newegg.com is authorized retailer for Seagate."

Pros: I've used Seagate drives in my last 4 builds. 2 x 120GB, 2 x 320GB, 2 x 500GB and now 2 x 1TB. I've not had one of these drives go bad yet (knock on wood)! I also use Seagate drives on the computers at work (not sure how many drives), never a bad drive! As far as I'm concerned, Seagate has a great track record. With hard drives the packaging and shipping had a lot to do with whether or not it goes bad. Thanks for the great shipping job Newegg and UPS!
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Before the Seagate 120GB drives I always used WD. All of the sudden I started having bad drives with WD (new and old). All of my Seagate drives are still working to date.

Pros: Was fast while it worked.
Cons: Turned the PC off last night and today the drive was not recognized. Tried different SATA cables and ports. BIOS says nothing is there. Been using Seagate over every other drive for years. This one died 2 wks after the limited 30 day return.
