May Want to Think Twice

This review is from: Seagate BarraCuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros:
While it worked it functioned well and provided the solid performance that I needed in a home built FreeNas server.
Seagate's RMA process is actually clean, efficient, and doesn't require you to call, email, or explain out a problem. I was happy to pay the 9.95 for a 2-day shipment on a replacement drive.
Cons:
Out of the two drives that purchased, one failed after what was just a few weeks (total) of usage. Not much more to say but disappointed.
Overall Review:
Since buying the drive, the server has been used sporadically due to lack of personal time to dedicate to it. When the server was on, the drives were only used for 3-4 hours a day. FreeNas would also turn off the drives after 60 minutes of inactivity, so there was little usage on the drive before it went down. Thankfully, they were working in a mirror pair and no data has been lost.
If the replacement drive has no problems I may come back and re-review this product. At this time I will give it two stars for failing so quickly.
