Quiet, cool, & quick enough

Under load, it is difficult to hear drive activity amongst the noise produced by my two stock 80mm fans, power supply, and CPU fans. In room temp of 75F/24C, disk temp without any cooling has not reached beyond 42C even after hours of defragmenting, cloning, and long file transfers.

Industry's highest five year warranty means best replacement program but does not necessarily translate to reliability - a prime problem with all hard drives, regardless of manufacturer. However, no complaints with this one, so far. Data loss shouldn't be much of a problem if you have multiple backup drives anyway.

This drive is actually my first one from Seagate! I've used "desktop user" drives by Maxtor, WD, IBM, and Quantum ('90s) all of which have been running for more than 7 years in continuous 24/7 operation without any issues. I've only used high-end quality power supplies to fuel all my hard drives, so I believe much of the great reliability I've experienced is attributed to this factor. My best advice with hard drives: Worry a little less about hard drive manufacturer, and focus more concern on a good power supply.

Got the bad one

Lots of storage space. When it tried to work seemed to perform well.

Had major issues with bios recognizing HD in 2 diff comps. Had to run Seagate utilities mulitple times before OS would install. Finally died totally ( the smoke literally let out)

Sent off for replacement from Newegg. Looks like you either get great drive or get one of the unlucky few like I did.
