Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000340AS
Customer Review: Solid and reliable seagate drives
Summary: 4 Stars
It's the classic price vs performance debate. How much do you value your data and at what cost should you protect it? Personally I think Seagate has an edge on the competition, it's prices are decent, whilst most importantly, the performance and build of the drives are stellar. It runs quiet, I was forced to strain to listen to hear it running. It actually ran all night backing up an entire archive and was only moderately warm. The 5 year warranty put's your mind at rest too should the unspeakable happen.Customer Review: Seems just fine to me -- but be aware it's a bare-bones product
Summary: 4 Stars
Well I just installed it and everything seems fine. Good price for an obscene amount of storage.
One thing I didn't realize is that this is an OEM product -- that is it didn't come with any cables, mounting screws, or anything else but just the drive.
This slowed me down some as I had to then go buy a power and data cable for the thing. But once I did that it installed easily enough and is working great.
Customer Review: terrible packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
While I believe this hard drive is an excellent product, the shipping practices are terrible. The drive was loose in the inner box, the fragile circuitry exposed to every bump. The drive did not work as a result, and I sent it back for a refund. I have since bought the same drive from a competitor for more, but it arrived safely, secured in the plastic bookends, and works quietly and quickly in my Mac Pro.Customer Review: An Ok drive.
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros: Fast, lots of room
Cons: More bad sectors that I liked, needs to be well cooled when transferring lots of data, noisy head seeks.
I'm glad I check the drive for errors before trusting with my data. That way I got the bad sectors out of the way first so my data would be at less of a risk.
If you plan on using this drive in a dock, you may need a fan to keep the drive cool.
Customer Review: OEM Not Retail
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a OEM drive so that it all you get no screws or SATA cable so have them on hand. Also Register your drive Before you install you need the serial # off the drive to do so for your 5 year warranty. Good Value for the price per GB. Great Drive for back-ups
