It is a well made, quiet enterprise class drive with low hours on it, A good replacement for my old noisy drive in a Thinkcenter edge a faster drive would have been a waste of money with the SATA II motherboard.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Sold as new, arrived with 65536 power-on hours and bad sectors. Scam. Better ditch old servers because these ancient hard drives that are sold as "open box" are pretty much on a death row now.

The drives I got all work as expected. It would have been real nice if Newegg would have supplied the jumper (I asked for ) for the back of the drive so I could have used them right away. Some companies do not think about the configuration the customer may require the product settings to be. (It's all about money). The jumper on these drives allows 1.5 Gbits/sec transfer rate rather than 3.0gb/ps.
It is a great hard drive however, I had some trouble with getting it to be recognized in my system; The seller was great about switching out the drive when the first one seemed to be defective. Now the new is great once I figured out to work out the "software" kinks after I plugged it in. I had some problems with the set-up in F2, finally after somehow unknowingly getting the settings right, it finally worked. I must say it is spectacular for the price. Seagate also, has a superb technical, patient support staff.
Purchased this drive as 1 of 4 in a NAS unit. The drives are Seagate's product for Enterprise class use. -Drive runs cool and quiet in my Netgear ReadyNAS. -The NS drives have a 1,200,000 hrs and 0.73% versus 750,000 hrs Mean Time Between Failure rate with a 0.34% annual failure rate for the AS drives. -Designed for 24 x 7 use versus approx 8 hrs daily use for the AS drives. Probably overkill for my use... but at the price I paid, Why Not?
