Digital camera reviews of Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000340AS
Digital camera Review: Not a reliable drive
Summary: 2 Stars
Drive failed within one year. Lost some of my data and lost some time to retrieve the data..
Only fair point is, Seagate shipped a replacement (a certified repaired hard drive) after I returned the drive.
Digital camera 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-upsDigital camera Review: OEM but installs easily
Summary: 5 Stars
Arrived in a box in another box held by typical drive black plastic end holders. OEM so no cable/screws or software. Downloaded Max Blaster 5 from Seagate site to clone original drive. Takes 3 hr to format thru windows XP drive management and 1 and a half hour to copy 200 G from old drive with Max Blaster. Had to change BIOS to see both drives to clone. Moved new drive to boot position. Completely disconnected old drive before first reboot on new drive.Digital camera Review: PLug and play
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no clue why others rate this as poor.
I purchased it and have it for sometime now it's almost noiseless and worth the $$. Maybe they had a bad purchase and had to return and get a new one I don't know but so far so good.
Thumbs up on speed rate too.
Digital camera Review: Perfect packaging
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading reviews of improper packaging (styro peanuts and plastic wrap that could cause static...thus shorting-out the drive), I was plesantly surprised to find the packaging more than proper. The box was large for the item (400 cubic inches), and contained 3 layers of cushioning foam rubber...the center layer cut-out in the shape of the drive. The drive itself was wrapped in anti-static foil-type plastic wrap...found on most electronics. The only problem I had was the drive did not come with screws for installation. I had to obtain the proper screws from a local retailer (not really a problem...but it should have come with screws). Am I pleased? Absolutely! 1-Tb hard drive! Who could not be pleased?! Works great, and runs quietly.
