Quote from dealfinder48 : Can anyone tell me why I've specified "email-instantly" on all my alerts but this alert wasn't sent to me until just now? Thanks, Al

Give it a second! It has to go to space! Also what deal alert did it set off, frontpage obviously doesn't happen until it goes front page, if you had one for this specific item, chalk it up to transit time across the interwebs, there may be a delay too to make sure threads are legit before it spams out the deal alert.

Also, I've owned plenty of Seagates with 0 failures. Actually the only drive I've ever had fail was an old IBM DeathStar.

One of the most unreliable drives ever? $50? I'll pass.

Don't say you weren't warned: these drives WILL eat your data. The die randomly and often (click of death). And no, putting it in the freezer isn't going to magically bring it back to life.

Can someone help me on this question? Thanks a lot

Quote from coven : which one is faster? There are many USB 3.0 external drive deals recently. I am not sure if this SATA II drive will be faster than drives in those usb 3.0 enclosure?

People still rely on 1 drive to secure data??????????? I thought everyone cloned all their drives no matter what the brand.

I purchased these drives along with Hitachi & WD at the same time. So far the Hitachi and WD have stood up while the Seagate drives have died several times. No hard drive is reliable but the RMA process is very simple and streamlined with WD as well as the fact they tend to come with a longer warranty. Cheap, yes, but a pain because of the continuous failures.

Had to score 1 for my nephews PC.
Good price, long time customer of Newegg.
Thanks OP!

"Now delivering predicted failure rates of 0.34%, the Barracuda 7200.12 hard drive continues to provide industry-leading reliability."!!

I wouldn't touch Seagate with a 10 foot trout. It all went down hill when Seagate merged with Maxtor.

Have one of these in my HTPC. Never had any problems runs great!

I been running about 20 of these Seagates for over 2 years now and only had 3 that needed to be replaced on warranty. I still have another year on warranty on most of them.

I only buy 2TBs and above now but it I was looking for a decent 1TB drive, I'd jump all over this.

Not quiet yet, but we are seeing the twilight. Hi!!!!

Quote from Deals4Lyfe : Hey! we're finally coming back to pre-flood pricing... well, not just yet, seagate is just not my cup of tea... although is there any hope this is just a rebranded Samsung F3?... If so, then we are back to pre-flood pricing

don't forget to look at warranty time as well as price. both factors are important in post thailand flood HDD market. Most HDD drives from major brands (WD, seagate, Samsung..) used to be 3-5 years and now its 1-2 ...

been running two of these in my server for about 4 years, no issues so far 'knock on wood'. In for two. thanks.
