Good Product with a lot of storage. Seagate has been reliable for me since my first computer. Totally recommend it for anyone. Great backup support as well.
Dead in Two Days 
by .. Cracker (FL Panhandle)
This drive lasted two days. Loaded my backups(approx 200GB)and did some retrieves. Everything okay. Next morning booted up and this drive reported as not formatted!!!!! On reboot to find out what the heck.......drive not reported in system and dead. DEAD DEAD DEAD in two days. Seems to be running hot. Maybe that is why they say they are quiet because they are DEAD. And Seagate doesn't even ask what the problem is when you go through the RMA process.......but hey they are QUIET! And my data is gone.
Beware the Seagate 5 Year Warranty by .. T. Tosi ()
First let me say that I have owned several Seagate drives in the past and have been happy with them. Perhaps this is because, until this year, I never had to deal with Seagate support.
I purchased this 400GB drive for back-up storage in December 2005 from a retail store. Just over two months later, in March 2006, the drive began making grinding noises, locked up, and shut my system down.
Though it was too late to return it to the store, I thought I had no problems because the drive was covered by the Seagate 5 Year Warranty. I went through the many page process of obtaining return authorization from Seagate, was informed my drive was indeed under warranty, and was given instructions for returning it.
The Seagate website showed that they received my drive on March 16. Seagate claims replacement drives usually ship out in 3 - 5 business days. When 3 WEEKS had passed and I still didn't have a replacement, I called Seagate support. I was told I needed to "wait some more days, please".
About a week later (a month now from when Seagate received my defective drive), I received a replacement. To my surprise, the replacement Seagate sent for my 400GB drive was a 300GB drive.
Once again, I contact Seagate support - this time by email and phone. After 3 or 4 attempts at explaining to various people what had happened, I was promised a 400GB replacement drive to be shipped via Seagate's advance replacement shipping.
Well, that was almost a month ago (now about 2 MONTHS since Seagate received my defective drive) and I am still without an adequate replacement drive or my money.
Do not count on the much advertised 5 Year Warranty.
Drive Failed after 1 1/2 yrs by .. Chris Hedrick (USA)
I bought this drive on 8/2006 and now on 1/2008 its dead.
I use to think Seagate was a cut above lower prices drives like Maxtor but in the last 5 years I have not a any trouble with any drives but Seagates. This is the 2nd Seagate drive to fail on me within the first 3 years of owning it.
Take it for whats its worth - but my experience is that Seagate is going down hill.
