 Cheap and Deep September 7, 2010
1.5TB for under $100?
If you are building your own PC these are a fine choice for your "cheap and deep" storage area. Buy them in pairs, mirror them (RAID 1), and forget about them.
Spend your cash on your Solid State Drive for boot and swap. Put your high-IO areas on a set of more expensive, faster drives.
But for archives? It's hard to beat a 1.5TB RAID 1 set for $190.
 Big and Cheap September 2, 2010
What everyone wants in a hard drive. A big 1 TB drive, a fast 7200 RPM's, and less than $69. You can't beat this.
Seagate 1TB Solid Soldier August 30, 2010
I only purchase and use Seagate drives exclusively for compatibility and dependability. We have a Drobo, Synology Diskstations and Servers that incorporate this exact 1TB drive very well, ST31000528AS. It is reliable, quiet and stays fairly cool with average cooling, < 37 celisus or 99 degrees. For other reasons, we use Seagate because some other brands failed. It's fair to say that there are many other brands that are reliable as well, but I try to stick with proven technology and equipment. Loosing your hard drive or several hard drives because of "equipment failure" makes you become a bit paranoid and skeptical about the brand that you were using, not to mention all the headaches of trying to restore or recoup your files from backups. I use Seagate drives at home too, but I don't use this particular model. If I was a home user needing Terabyte storage, then this is the drive to consider. You'd pay more for a faster drive with a higher cache, so access and speed is above average but not optimal. So, if you can find this drive for $60 or less it is a great bargain at todays prices. This is a solid soldier (IMHO).
Nice hard drive August 29, 2010
This is nice hard drive...it works as it says...not problem in installing...computer detects is like 1..2..3...format as NTFS or any format...works..
writing speed is good...does not make too much noise for me..
overall...it's good hard drive..and price is good too..
Works just fine August 28, 2010
The drive came as advertised, in about the time frame it was supposed to come. It worked right out of the box and I was able to get my wife's computer set up with the new drive the same day. So far it's working out great, and she has lots of free space on her drive now.
