Pros: Seemed to be a decent price in the current market for a 1TB drive

Cons: DOA. Drive was detected by BIOS but Windows would not initialize the drive and kept giving me an I/O error. Swapped SATA cables, ports etc. Tried the Seagate DiscWizard, HDDScan to no avail. Thought I had a decent deal, but $12 return shipping for a refund has killed any good feelings that I had. This was my first Seagate drive and I will stay away from them in the future.
