These are not for typical desktops

Reviewed By: Red_Card on 5/29/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Price and performance if using for their specific purpose, I will get to that in other comments.

Cons: If raided and/or with a operating system installed in single drive setup, performance is degraded to below ata150. Newegg did not specify what purpose these drives were designed for, Seagate had to inform me.

Other Thoughts: Okay, After running HDtach and other HD performance utilities, I noticed that these sata 2 drives were performing at only ata150 speeds. This is because these drive were designed for surveilance and video edit purposes. They do not handle raid configs or operating systems installed on them well. If looking for desktop solutions you want to purchase the NS (for raid) or the AS models for typical desktop solutions. These VS versions are good for additional drives to video edit or simple storage or even for those of you wanting to use your comp as a DVR or security comp.

SV35 Series

Reviewed By: Security Man on 5/28/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: We have installed approximately 25 Seagate SV35 drives (500-GB and 1-TB) in DVR's since their inception about two and a half years ago. I have had one drive failure and it occurred within 30 days. These systems run 24/7 non-stop. The SV35 series has outperformed every other drive we have ever used in the past 6 years. The reliability gap isn't even close. I will use no other drive for video surveillance applications than the Seagate SV35.

Cons: When I returned the defective drive to Seagate they refused to replace it with a new drive. The rebuilt replacement drive was DOA. Seagate's customer support lags significantly behind their product quality.

Not worth the money

Reviewed By: on 5/7/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: A cheap drive

Cons: NOT RELIABLE!!!!!! Seagate was once a good name when it came to hard drives,but lately they are selling junk. Drive failed within a year and Seagate will only replace it with a refurbished piece of junk.

Other Thoughts: I am glad that I made the purchase through Newegg. They did eveything that they could to help me get a new replacement from Seagate.
