Old Technology but Still a Good Value
These mechanical drives are on the way out it appears. You can inject it with SATA-III technology but mechanical drives are an old technology. However they still work well enough and are pretty reliable.I'll confess that I don't know a great deal about hard drives.. but I did manage to learn a thing or two while researching the reality of SATA-III performance of mechanical drives. See, I was running my win7 computer with a Fujitsu 2.5 notebook hard drive (SATA-II 7200rpm 320GB about 3 years old) connected to my computer using an external SATA enclosure which was powered from a usb port. USB 2.0 / eSATA HDD Enclosure For 2.5" SATA Hard Drive With "One Touch Button" Instant Backup In Gold Believe it or not, it worked flawlessly and as far as I know it's the only way to run win7 from an external drive. The windows index was a 5.8. Now you'd think with all the hype of SATA-III and it's claims of 6GB data transfer rates that this Seagate would at least peform greater than a 2.5" SATA-II notebook drive that was made 3 yeasr ago. Not so. The windows index rated it as 5.9 which I hear is the fastest index rate you can get from a mechanical drive. I don't see any performance increase at all. I just have more space than the 2.5" drive. Plus the drive got returned to the netbook I took it from.Oh well.. Not a big deal. It looks to me as though mechanical hard drive technology peaked about 4 years ago or maybe even longer. They keep re-inventing SATA technology and selling it in new drives as an improvement. It's not though. In the next couple of years they will vanish entirely from the face of the earth. The good new is, the price of 128GB SSD drives is dropping daily. I see them listed now for about £80. When the time comes, I'll simply turn this into a storage drive. I do think this Seagate is still a great value and I highly recommend it. If you've built yourself an amazing killer gaming system it's going to be your bottleneck. For most people though, it will perform as expected.

Easy to install, great price
Seagate drives are in many macs/pcs so their reliability is as good as any. This one gave me the storage I wanted at a price that was highly competitive. Easy to install, it got me back up and running in no time. That's why it's highly recommended.

Nice big seagate drive!
Fast delivery, well packed, nice drive and good value for the size and speed and silent well built drive you get?Brought it for a brand new 64 bit verion AMD gaming version of PC which also will be used for 3D design work and media work?Can't tell you how great it is in the new PC as after receiving the new PC it had somewhere in it a fault which stopped me fro using it with this great 3TB drive which I know work ok as:I tested it in my older 32 bit xp home gaming PC and although it only showed up as a drive of 746.5 Gb because the 32 bit system is not upto reading any drive bigger than a 1.5 TB one so I been told? it still only showed as a 746.5 Gb size drive?But I just have to wait for the company which sent me the new 64 bit based AMD gaming PC to pick it up now I re boxed all the parts as they were when I got them?( note here for you buyers > when you buy a item always if possible take photographs of the unpacking steps of the items you got using a digital camera like I do? that way if you need to send it back if it is faulty, you will be able to re-pack it as it came? )Also another tip I tell you byers of tech, if the item works ok, always if you can carefully scan the user manual pages for it on a flatbed scanner into a folder named for it onto your PC and save a copy onto a usb memory pen too for later use in case you loose or damage the original manual?So just wait now for the replacemnt new 64 bit PC and I can use the 3TB drive at last?I recommend this seller totally as a great seller to use?

So Far So Good
I bought two of these a few weeks ago and I've really only used one of them to any extent. Genuinely new. original factory sealed anti-static wrapping with all the correct authentication labels and stickers.The seller packaged them very well with plenty of padding so they arrived in perfect condition.Quite simply: no problems. I've never had trouble with any Seagate ITB HDDs, in fact any new Seagate HDD I've owned and so far that continues to be true.Although the two Seagate HDDs received are as listed they're slightly different in design from the accompanying listing photos. The label in particular is a different colour and specifies it as a recently manufactured AF (Advanced Format) type. It should be good for any purposes a HDD might be required for.However one of the things I've had trouble with using another make of HDD, a WD, also specified as an AF type, is for cloning an existing Windows OS on an older HDD. It is a bit of mystery exactly why that is happening but it seems to be to do with the external USB enclosure I was using. There's some sort of USB incompatibility as the problem is resolved if you connect it up internally via SATA.I must make it clear this is only when it comes to this particular cloning task and is probably very niche.Anyway the point is I've not yet tried the Seagate AF ones for this purpose. So if that is what you are going to use them I can not confirm whether or not they're suitable. They work fine in an USB external housing for backup, storage or whatever. That I can confirm because it is what I've been doing with the one I've been using most.
