Good but noisy

I installed this drive three weeks ago and so far so good. The software provided by Seagate is good but didn't help me with transferring my system from my old drive to the new drive. The software does not support dynamic disks.

The drive is a bit noisy, but not enough to bother this guy. The drive comes with a 5 year warranty, something the competition doesn't come close to. This is an excellent drive for storing your movies and mp3 files.

5 stars but be careful that you get what you paid for

Bought four of these to use in a RAID. All four of the boxes had PN: 98D648 - 550 on the box. When I installed one of the drives it was smaller than the others. PN on smaller drive's label was 98J146 - 308 and it was called a Barracuda 7200.10. Larger drives were Barracuda 7200.11 9BX154 - 303 on the drive label. Returned it and will check the replacement when it arrives.

7/3/08 Received replacement drive and it was Barracuda 7200.11 9BX154 - 303.

A little more effort than expected, but works.

I installed the Seagate 500Gb SATA using Windows XP Pro x64. Installing the hardware was easy enough as all cables were included. The XP installer didn't recognize the drive, so I added an older 80Gb ATA drive and installed XP on that. From there, I ran the Seagate installer disc, and voila, the Seagate drive showed up. I'm still putting my new system through its paces, so we'll see how it fares as I add software.

Not bad for the price...

I got one of these drives, for about 30 bucks cheaper than Amazon has it here, and it is a bit loud, but other than that, not a single problem at all.
In fact, I have never really had a problem with any Seagate items that I have bought and always they are a decent price. I would recommend this and reading the reviews of other people saying that their's failed, they is too bad. I am sure that they are not the most amazing or consistent company on the planet and that is too bad for the customers that got bum hard drives, but in my experience, I have not had an issue at all.
