I always went with Western Digital drives but this time I thought I would try out a Seagate drive. My mistake. I used it in an external enclosure for a backup drive on my Mac. It would mount for a few minutes and then eject itself. Could find any solution either on the net or through the Seagate company. It seems to work fine on my PC though. It also is quite loud when running. After a few days I went out and bought a Western Digital Caviar Green 2tb drive and love it. Work great and it's very quiet. The only reason I am not giving this drive a "Poor" is because I got it to work on my PC. Don't buy this drive. Go Western Digital.
For the price these are a good buy when you can find one used or remanurfactured Seagate barracuda has always been top of the line in my book! Just alittle pricey! But! They seem to last forever! I havent had one give up on me in I dont know how many years!
I am using this drive to extend my VDR's recording capacity. It is a great fit with the energy saving "slower" spindle speed that gives "good enough" performance (faster drives don't make the picture better on my TV) and high capacity at a great price and runs cool in my electronics cabinet.
We go through memory fast between digitizing our old cassette tapes, converting our CD's to mp3, scanning a century of photos and then there are the family movies. All of these things are very important to us. We can't keep everything on the main computer because we exceed our home computer hard drive space. We are able to store almost everything on one of these. We keep one at home to pull off of and then a couple of others with copies for back-up that we leave with family members in other areas. We had an external hard drive go bad once and lost a lot of pictures, a hard lesson to learn. You can buy storage cases for these making them great for offsite back-ups. They are also great for quick swap out working drives when you work with large files like movies.
Very happy with my hard drive purchases.
