Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5TB ST315005FDA2E1-RK
The Seagate FreeAgent Desk 1.5TB ST315005FDA2E1-RK hard drive is a large drive that can store tons of data but its wonky performance and debated reliability makes it an iffy purchase. Consider this one an “at your own risk” purchase
Low Price and Large Capacity is a Nice Bargain, Lightweight makes it easy to take with you, High failure rate is a big red flag, Some units reported to be extremely loud, Sensitive device ; light drops will cause failure

Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB
It was a big month for storage. Not only did Western Digital bring to the market the first 2TB consumer hard drive, but Seagate came to the game with another milestone: a two-platter 1TB drive. Both offerings contain 500GB platters, the highest ...
First two-platter 1TB drive ; wicked-fast. Beats previous contender easily
Somewhat high MSRP ; higher random-access writes than expected
The 1TB 7200.12 has much in common with drives from the previous generation of Barracudas: It features 32MB of L2 cache, 7,200rpm rotational speeds, and SATA 3Gb/s data transfer with Native Command Queuing. The 7200.12, though, needs just two platters ...

Seagate 100GB 2.5-Inch & 5GB 1.0-Inch...
Seagate's line of external 2.5" drives are well designed for the mobile user. The enclosure for the 2.5" notebook drive is small, light, and sturdy. We've used and abused this drive for months, toting it around in a number of different ways with no ...
We're going to start off our benchmarks with the SiSoft Sandra Removeable Storage Benchmark. This program tests drive performance measuring read/write throughput of many different file sizes

Nice HD
HD storage has dropped in price while memory have increased over 100% in the last year. That's OK - I'm using these HD's in a home server-WHS- and they work great.
This is a great HD. Low cost, quiet, and fast. Have four of these bought at 2 different times. No problems at all. Windows 7 automatically brings up the initiallize disk screen in disk management. After that, simple vol. & quick format takes 5-10 sec. and...
None ;
Great with some minor complications
I got this for my PS3 and it works perfectly.
Quiet, 250gb, it's a seagate ;
it doesn't come with any fun packaging ;
Seagate - Never Again
So far I have had the 320GB 7200.10 with the "capped" AAK firmware, the 500GB 7200.11 with the "SD" firmware issue that bricked once I updated to Seagate's "SD1A" that luckily, I was able to fix with the SD1A revision. These drives were frustrating to dea...
Quiet, cool, low power requirements... Even more so once it dies and is removed from the system ;
From day 1 there was a faint but audible click sound every second or so, but the drive seemed to work OK and passed all SeaTools tests. That said, I was concerned that all benchmark testing revealed a very severe "sawtooth" pattern where the read\write sp...
