Customer Review: Works fine, little noisy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this drive on November 11, 2009 for use with my Netgear NAS. As I write this, I've owned the drive for about a month and it has performed fine so far - no reallocated or bad sectors, etc. However, periodically I notice it making two clicks in a row - "click, click". Not sure if this is due to its being in the NAS - as opposed to installed in a computer - or what, but it seems to perform fine otherwise and the health logs in my NAS do not indicate any issues at all. The clicking is not constant, so perhaps it is because the drive is syncing with the other one or something....who knows. If the drive does fail, well, my data is mirrored onto the other drive on my NAS and backed up to two separate external USB drives AND backed up onto my netbook, and then I guess I'll deal with Seagate's warranty.
With technology, you cannot have too much redundancy. :-)
I purchased this drive because it is on the ReadyNAS compatible hardware list and the Seagates seemed to have fewer issues than the Western Digital drives.
As far as performance, well, it seems just fine. My NAS came with a 500GB drive from the factory, and I believe it too was a Seagate. I've noticed no significant performance difference at all since installing the drive, so I'm happy as my NAS was performing fine before this drive. I'd wager a bet that performance will be more directly and noticeably affected by what interface you are using to connect to the drive, rather than the drive itself.
For what it's worth, I had a 1TB USB Western Digital that I was using prior to my purchasing the NAS, and it never gave me any problems during the year I owned it.
