Good for RAID
- Pros: At this point I only trust the Seagate ES.2 series drives.
If you look hard you will find info on Seagate that most of their hard drives have problems with synchronization. This is not a big deal unless you use them in a RAID array. The first generation ES were not much better than the consumer edition drives. They kept getting out of sync on my RAID1 arrays. I have been using the ES.2's in RAID1 for about a year now without any problems. My system locked up a couple of times and I had to force it down and it has always come back up with no RAID issues, before in the past when that happened I had to always rebuild on boot. Somtimes it would happen under normal conditions just rebooting.
- Cons: none so far
- Other Thoughts: In general I would not purchase any other Seagate drives at this time. Remember you get what you pay for,and just about any other computer component can fail (except maybe the main board) and be recovered from, but the hard drive is the most important part of a computer. I work in computer repair and see lots of failed cheap hard drives. Do yourself a favor and buy good quality, It's cheaper and less hassle in the long run.
head crash 1 year
- Pros: Nice drive, fortunate for me. Nice manufacturer 5 year warranty too.
- Cons: Drive head crashed just a little bit over the one year mark.
- Other Thoughts: If you don't want to lose data on head crashes I highly recommend a back up solution not involving hard drives. Good luck!
Pretty Good Drive
- Pros: We have been using these drives in external cases mostly for weekly backup of our data, but have used some in servers as well. We have purchased 20 or more in the last year and have had about 10% of those be DOA, likely due to a manufacturer defect. However, the ones that have arrived in good condition have been very reliable.
- Cons: The fact that some of them have arrived in non-working condition.
