Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5 TB SATA 32 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31500341AS Reviews

Got it in mail, package perfect. Attempted to use as replacement drive in PC. Bios wouldn't detect it. Tried to detect it plugged into external drive case. Several systems attempted none could detect it, drive did not seem to spin up. Big thanks to Amazon for fast and easy return policy. Won't be trying anymore of these drives.
 
Right now, no complains for this hard disk which works perfectly on my Dell Dimension E521. I hope it will be last long.
 
Good price for this hard drive. Had to search for & download internet connection drivers though.
 
I bought two of these to install in a RAID configuration. When I loaded Windows XP, the OS didn't recognize the array and the software packaged with the drives wouldn't run because it said there wasn't a seagate or maxtor drive installed in my system. I bought the extra software from Acronis, but it still didn't recognize the new array. One of the drives in the old array (the maxtor) failed while I was using the Acronis software to copy an image to my external backup array. Finally, I was able to get the new array to work by using the utilities from a Western Digital drive (the one that survived the backup operation) that I installed two years ago. I'm going to buy western digital drives exclusively from now on.
 
Frustrated. Returned the drive after repeatedly unable to format drive in a Windows Vista PC. Formatting hung at 73% complete two times in a row. Seagate diagnostic software could not find a problem. Should of read the many other unsatisfied reviews on Amazon before purchasing this Seagate. Returned the Seagate Barracuda to Amazon and purchased a Samsung 1Tb SATA, formatted it without a hitch and it works without an issue.
