Seagate has long been both an innovator and a crowd-pleaser in terms of data storage technology. The new ST31500341AS is the latest in a long line of Barracuda drives, with a storage and speed seldom seen. Designed with noise- suppression engineering and state-of-the-art speed and power this 1.5 TB powerhouse offers a brilliant combination of technology and low cost of ownership. Idling at only eight watts, this drive delivers up to 43% power savings over earlier generations without sacrificing performance.
When supported by the latest firmware updates, downloadable from Seagate once you've purchased your drive, this spectacular unit offers the best of both worlds -- top performance and a very small eco-footprint, so you know you have an industry leader AND are doing something good for the environment.

Pros: Purchased 2 in 2009 both failing after 10 years of 24/7 use. Drives both still work but are starting to have numerous bad sectors show up. Over all completely satisfied with the purchases considering they lived well beyond normal life expectancy of a drive in this class.
Cons: No cons at all
Pros: NO IDEA
Cons: NOT ARRIVED YET
Overall Review: NO IDEA YET
Pros: Lots of storage on the cheap
Cons: Be careful to pay close attention to the SMART reports for this drive. Automate a weekly report or something so you aren't caught with your pants down.
Overall Review: After 7 years and 61,541 operating hours, the drive finally gave up the ghost. It had been sitting in an external enclosure for its entire life (with a fan) and served me well as a backup/random data holder. It started to give the click of death about 2 weeks ago so I started moving files off of it and am very glad I did. It finally went kaput tonight and will be retired ASAP. I'm giving it 4 stars because in all honesty this thing was a workhorse. It's always a stressful experience to see a drive die and I've had some last longer, but I can't ask for too much more here.
Pros: None, when you lose all your data
Cons:
Everything about it. Firmware was defective in 2009, purchased in 2011...no notice to update from either seagate or New Egg.
Years pass and the drive dies a quick death with no further indication.
Pros: Large cache at the time for a consumer drive back in 2010, decent read/write speeds, never had corrupt files that I know of.
Cons: After 5 years, it started making a clicking noise on rare occasions perhaps as if it were waking up. I had a hard time getting it to act properly as slave to another drive unless I plugged it into my fastest SATA port, but there's a slight chance I could've messed up the Windows install in a way that it messed with the drive's primary partition.
Overall Review: I recommend getting a newer model with more cache and faster SATA, and there should be at least one that is cheaper than this drive. It was good while it lasted, and I trust it enough to act as a secondary off site backup for my files.
Pros: Its been my main drive for years with no issues. Running it in a gaming computer.
Cons: no cons. I'll be sad when it dies.
Pros: Lasted 8 years and still going after 43419 running hours
Cons: Starting to fail, I think
Overall Review: I've had this drive since November 2008 and it ran 24/7 in my server for a while, then became my Steam drive in my gaming PC. This week it started making the occasional re-sync clicking and locking up my PC. It's not dead yet, but it seems like it's starting its death spin so I bought a replacement. Still though, for a drive that was widely criticized upon its release for high failure rates and short lifespans, getting 8 solid years of performance from it and a graceful failure where I was able to back it up to a new drive is nothing to be upset at. Crystal Disk Info shows 1504 power on counts and 43419 power on hours on this drive with 45 reallocated sectors. I noticed that a few reallocated sectors showed up very early in this drive's life, but have not affected it at all throughout the many years I've used it, even as it's been formatted several times and moved between PCs and external enclosures. I'm formatting it now to try giving it a new life and seeing if it's still got a bit of life left, but I know the end is probably near if it's clicking. I really would like to see it hit the double digit years though, as I have nothing but praise for this drive.

Pros: upgrade to from 500GB to 1.5TB on my iMac 2011 machine, and it was direct compatible. No need to deal thermo-sensor and fan issues.
Overall Review: Great product
