From: Amazon Posted: Dec 16, 2008 Type: User Review Worked Great

I installed this using a fresh copy of Vista.
It was recognized and formated with ease.
Very simple install. It is quiet and I haven't had any issues.

From: Amazon Posted: Dec 12, 2008 Type: User Review Great Product - Easy Installation

I have purchased two of these now - I can't say enough. They are easy to install as both a backup drive and a fresh build. Fast as lightning and lots of room!

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 15, 2008 Type: User Review The warrantee, the warrantee, the warrantee

Seagate stands behind this product with a 5 year warrantee. I've tried all the brands over the years, both IDE, SATA and SCSI, and nobody makes failure proof disk drives. I've sent back drives to everyone. SCSI will last you much longer with...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 12, 2008 Type: User Review Great Drive, Very, Very, Very Quiet

I just purchased this drive and I cannot understand the reports that this drive is noisy. I think the noise must come from the enclosure vibrating and not from the drive.

It is so quiet I had to check to be sure it was powered up. I...

From: Amazon Posted: Nov 08, 2008 Type: User Review major let-down

I purchased this drive in September '08 and it crashed less than two months later. No warning signs--drive just failed. I was shocked because the Seagate name was highly recommended by a friend. Sure, the drive had an extra-long warranty and sure...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 30, 2008 Type: User Review Great high capacity, high speed SATA drive

I needed a second drive for my workstation, and it was pretty much a choice between Western Digital and Seagate. This one seemed the best in terms of value and size. I may be building an external storage array in the near future, and I'll...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 24, 2008 Type: User Review Good but noisy

I installed this drive three weeks ago and so far so good. The software provided by Seagate is good but didn't help me with transferring my system from my old drive to the new drive. The software does not support dynamic disks.

The...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 30, 2008 Type: User Review 5 stars but be careful that you get what you paid for

Bought four of these to use in a RAID. All four of the boxes had PN: 98D648 - 550 on the box. When I installed one of the drives it was smaller than the others. PN on smaller drive's label was 98J146 - 308 and it was called a Barracuda...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 12, 2008 Type: User Review Not bad for the price...

I got one of these drives, for about 30 bucks cheaper than Amazon has it here, and it is a bit loud, but other than that, not a single problem at all.
In fact, I have never really had a problem with any Seagate items that I have bought and...
