  • Review: What everyone wants in a hard drive. A big 1 TB drive, a fast 7200 RPM's, and less than $69. You can't beat this.

  • Review: I only purchase and use Seagate drives exclusively for compatibility and dependability. We have a Drobo, Synology Diskstations and Servers that incorporate this exact 1TB drive very well, ST31000528AS. It is reliable, quiet and stays fairly cool with average cooling, < 37 celisus or 99 degrees. For other reasons, we use Seagate because some other brands failed. It's fair to say that there are many other brands that are reliable as well, but I try to stick with proven technology and equipment. Loosing your hard drive or several hard drives because of "equipment failure" makes you become a bit paranoid and skeptical about the brand that you were using, not to mention all the headaches of trying to restore or recoup your files from backups. I use Seagate drives at home too, but I don't use this particular model. If I was a home user needing Terabyte storage, then this is the drive to consider. You'd pay more for a faster drive with a higher cache, so access and speed is above average but not optimal. So, if you can find this drive for $60 or less it is a great bargain at todays prices. This is a solid soldier (IMHO).

  • Review: The drive came as advertised, in about the time frame it was supposed to come. It worked right out of the box and I was able to get my wife's computer set up with the new drive the same day. So far it's working out great, and she has lots of free space on her drive now.

  • One of two failed

  • Review: I ordered 2 of this from Amazon. Put them into NAS (DNS-323) and configure as RAID-1. Worked in a couple of days, and then NAS kept saying my RAID-1 is degraded. Pull the both out of NAS, and use Seagate tool to test. One of them failed SMART test.

    Return and refund is under way.
