Died after 2.5 months in a DVR 11/01/2011
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:
It didn't die all at once...every few minutes it makes a nasty sound and the DVR system restarts itself, so it still kind of works...
but really there are no pros to this item.
Cons:
The drive is lame. The RMA process is much more lame.
The weakest service point I have dealt with at newegg is hard drive returns.
After 30 days, newegg tells you very politely that they will have nothing to do with your poor purchasing decision.
Overall Review:
The reviews for every brand say "I only trust this brand" but they are all garbage. I think pigs will fly before any company ever makes a good product out of the magnetic hard drives used in current/older computers.
*****
Most important part of purchasing hard drive: research the return policy CAREFULLY and COMPLETELY.
