Can't Complain So Far

Upgraded from a 1TB and really like the extra space. Easy installation with Seagate DiscWizard v13. Hard drive was recognized at 2.72TB and my 1TB drive was copied over in no time. It was surprisingly seamless upgrade with my home network.

A bit high price, but then I'm getting 3TB of storage.

Not sure if the warranty is 3 or 5 years. I've seen both. Will have to check the Seagate site. A little concerned on performance from the reviews I've read. I hope this drive keeps on spinning and the performance is adequate.

DOA

Competitive price.

Ordered 2 drives. Both were DOA

Newegg wouldn't rma either of them. They claimed user damage to the sata connector (really? on both?). The sata connectors were fine when I sent them in. We'll see when I get them back. I will try Seagate's warranty coverage, but I'm guessing they'll claim user damage as well. I think there's a reason why this product was delisted the day I received my order.
