Customer Ratings & Reviews

using drive for video. so far runs quiet and doesnt appear to get very hot running 24/7.

This drive was a breeze to install in my Mac Pro tower. I replaced two smaller drives for this one. No problems transferring files from the other drives. So far it's working fine.

This is a great internal hard drive and DiscWizard software worked perfecting to get around Windows 7 disk formatting limitations. Hard drive works very well and performance is very good.

Great Drive - I made a Clone of my 1T and placed it in a drawer after my friends hard drive died and he lost everything. The software downloaded from Seagate worked great. No booting from a USB or CD to make a Clone of my current hard drive. Just loaded the software selected the source drive then selected the destination drive and reboot the computer. The DiscWizard started first thing after reboot and made a perfect copy of my original hard drive. Con: My computer doesn't support greater than 2T drive so the rest of the drive had to be setup as a 1T Logical Drive but no real issue. The 3T drive was about the same prices as the 2T drive.

Still waiting for the price of these drives to come down. I needed 4 3TB drives for my Synology NAS and decided to buy from a brick & mortar store since I have a better chance at taking it back to Best Buy for the warranty. I am replacing four 2TB 5400 RPM Hitachi drives. Not only is my NAS faster with increased I/O bandwidth, the drives also run cooler. The previous set lasted me 4 years. We'll see how the Seagate drives go.

Love Seagate they have always been a reliable hard drive.

I installed the drive, formatted it, and was good to go. It works as expected.

My internal hard drive died so bought this to replace it. Works great!

With the floods in Asia driving up HDD prices, this is a pricey buy at the moment, however I have purchased two of them (so far) for use in my 5-bay DroboFS. The warranty seems like it'll be sufficient and [slowly] I'll be picking up 3 more, as prices drop once again.

I'm using this drive in a 27" iMac core i7 setup as an external drive. I'm using several external bay components that are hot swappable, Had problems with the OWC Newertech Voyager Q with quad interface BUT at the same time had NO problems with Thermaltake BlacXDuet. The BlacXDuet saw the drive immediately and read the correct capacity, the Voyager Q only read capacity at 800GB. Not sure if the newer Voyagers have fixed this issue.

Always my choice for additional storage. I chose it for all my PC and Server needs

Quality product with above average data access rates. Quiet. Seagate quality.

Ive had the drive for close to 2 years. quit, worked fine, but now we'll test the warrenty!

Unless you have a computer built in the last couple of years (with UEFI bios) you'll need to use Seagate's software to use the full capacity even with Windows 7. With the software the drive appears as two drives. Otherwise this drive rocks as with all the other Seagate drives I own.

The software package make it easy to divide the drive in two or more drives very easily., Microsoft wouldn't make make an operating system use higher gigabite drives (no forsight on drives they know will get larger.) I am happy to my 3 gig even with Microsoft's limitations.

i bought 2 of these after seeing that they came with cables on the website,well they didn't come with cables and best buy didn't have any power cables for sales in the store.the sales rep said they should change the website ,,you think!!!!???

Saw this great price for a 3TB Seagate at Best Buy and ran to pick one up, based on positive reviews from the web. The Best Buy web site states that this drive has a 5 year limited warranty. However, the actual Seagate warranty is ONLY 1 YEAR. This puts this into the cheap, unreliable drive catagory as far as I am concerned. If you sniff around a bit, you can still find Seagate drives out there with a 5 year warranty. It's work the look, as Seagate is exceptional at replacing drives quickly for their customers that have issues...

Love Seagate drives. I use them to replace our old drives all the time. They last longer than the competition

Needed storage bad, this fit the bill. Good warranty, no problems so far... still awaiting for the prices to drop MUCH further.

So far its working fine, we are now using it as a back up drive and it seems to be holding up okay
