5 out of 5 stars Seagate drive   September 6, 2010
C. Gonzalez (Geneva, AL, US)
Big fast hard drive. There are bigger faster drives but the price was right. Funny thing: The seller refused to deliver to a PO Box, then delivered by US Postal Service in a little, tightly bubble-wrapped box, which was wet from rain. The drive was fine, and runs well.


1 out of 5 stars It is a SHAME that Amazon.com would sell an item like this.   September 1, 2010

Amazon should not be selling an item like this. This drives conveniently fail right when the window to return them to Amazon closes, and you need to send them to Seagate who will just send you back the same 5900 rpm junk (even worst because Seagate turns around and sends you a refurbished one not a new one which is what you paid for) leaving you without a choice to change for a regular 7200rpm one. What is strange is that I have dealt with Seagate drives almost exclusively when I build PCs and this are the first drives that have let me down completely. Seagate drives usually carry a 5 year warranty, but this drives carry only a three year warranty so even Seagate does not have much confidence in this 5900 rpm drives. I can say for sure that I would not recommend this drive to anyone. Do not make the mistake I made of trusting the company reputation!Seagate Barracuda LP 2 TB 5900RPM SATA 3 GB/s 32 MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Hard Drive ST32000542AS-Bare Drive


5 out of 5 stars Great Upgrade for Netgear Products   August 30, 2010
ConTeacher (SoCal)
I bought three of these drives. One for a Netgear EVA 1950 and two for a ReadyNAS Duo. The drives run cool and are 100% compatible with both units. I couldn't be happier with the purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Decent drive, lots of space for a good price   August 28, 2010
Bill Kearney (Bethesda, MD USA)
I've had three of these drives for about 4 months now. I've been beating them up pretty hard with a lot of disk access. They're performing as expected. I consistently saw greater than 90MB/sec speeds when writing to them from a regular SATA interface. I've just moved them to an Areca 1210 card in a RAID5 configuration. I still see 80+MB/sec writing to them, even with them being in the RAID5 config. The card pretty much erases any noticeable overheard usually seen when writing to a RAID5 array.

These drives replaced a pair of Western Digital 'green' drives. Those crapped out within a week of use.

I've got quite a few other Seagate drives in use and have been pretty pleased with their performance and reliability.
