5 out of 5 eggsFast Drive

Pros: Powers up using a single USB cable in an external enclsure
fast transfers and relatively quiet

Cons: The max amp of .7 is higher then other drives, but it runs off USB so I guess it never needs that much power

Other Thoughts: The difference using this drive in a USB / eSATA enclosure was night and day. eSATA took 7 minutes while USB took 45 minutes. This may have something to do with firmware or some other drive feature.

1 out of 5 eggsAnother one DOA

Pros: Haven't had a chance to find out yet. But I'm hoping the next on will work.

Cons: DOA. Causes BIOS to freeze during device detection. Tried on second PC with similar problem. BIOS hangs for about 10 minutes then shows 0 Bytes on device.

Other Thoughts: Should have paid more attention to what others said about the high number of DOAs on this device. Thought I'd get lucky nu I guess not.

2 out of 5 eggsSeagate has just stopped trying

Pros: The fastest HD in the 7200rpm category, makes other HD's look like snails. The density of these platters is unmatched. which means higher transfer rates, especially on video. while in the spec sheet it says 125mb/s the max is really like 160mb/s on large consecutive tranfers. Heck 5 years ago I couldn't get that from my raid array. If it wasn't for the seek time this drive could beat alot of ssd's

Cons: Problem is that the failure rate on seagate drives is just to big these days, I dunno but I should have opted for the 410 version which is enterprise class, however this one had a $15 coupon so I ended up spending 50 bucks on a drive with a 3 year warranty. I dunno if I'll ever buy a seagate again, let's see how the replacement holds up.

Other Thoughts: Newegg should talk to seagate since this adds to their cost as well.
