Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000340AS
Customer Review: Happy in every way
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased six of these drives. Five went into a QNAP T509 Pro, which I configured with RAID 6 and now have 2.7TB of usable storage that can survive two disk failures without loss of data. Disk number six went into an eSATA enclosure and provides offline backup of 1 TB of the QNAP for my most critical data.
I read numerous reviews of the failure rates people are experiencing with modern high capacity SATA drives. To me, they all appear to have a similar failure rate, so don't be surprised when they die but rather plan for it, just as you expect a light bulb to eventually stop working.
Customer Review: Fast,big and fairly quiet

Hello, I replaced the 750 in the HP m8430f due to the bad drivers that I loaded. Since I could only nuke the OS on the 750 I decided to RR the 750 with the 1000. I'm not sure what happened to 82gig on the drive but it is fairly quiet and fast and satisfying. You'll find all the quality your looking for in this drive. I'll update when I find the 82gig that went missing for what ever reason.UPDATE format the drive and get all you payed for. I always fan a hard drive if it needs it or not.Update 11/28 I can hear the HD working so my laptop is more quiet.Customer Review: Watch out for the Disk Wizard software included!

I installed this drive as a replacement for my 200GB Barracuda main drive.
I used the Disc Wizard to clone the old drive. The cloning appeared to work fine, but later I found that my backup program crashed with a blue-screen-of-death - STOP: 0x00000019 (0x00000020, 0xe5acb398, 0xe5acb3b8, 0x0c040207).
Later research showed the fix was easy [...].
Since the fix I am very happy with the drive. It is about twice as fast as my previous drive and I have to run it with 1/2 speed jumper.

Summary: 5 Stars
Received product within a week. Packaged very good! OEM, so no cables. Loaded in my Blackbird 002, formatted and loaded it up. No issues. I have been running this drive for about a month. It runs quiet and effienctly. Purchasing two more to add to my system. Running a Seagate 500 GB for system drive with a 500 for backup. Added the 1 TB to the system to load programs, files.... I will order two more of the 1 TB since I can hot swap up to five drives at a time.
Great Product, No Issues!
Customer Review: OEM but installs easily

Arrived in a box in another box held by typical drive black plastic end holders. OEM so no cable/screws or software. Downloaded Max Blaster 5 from Seagate site to clone original drive. Takes 3 hr to format thru windows XP drive management and 1 and a half hour to copy 200 G from old drive with Max Blaster. Had to change BIOS to see both drives to clone. Moved new drive to boot position. Completely disconnected old drive before first reboot on new drive.
