>> Problems with Seagate not with Amazon s packaging
While I must admit that I ve had loads of problems with this particular model of Seagate drive 4 DOAs from another vendor and one that died after about 3 months of use I must say that Amazon appears to have listened to complaints about packaging of OEM drives Mine arrived in it s static bag and properly secured using the plastic inserts that you find in retail packages Much better than the packaging at the other online company that just used bubble wrap and often not enough of it
About the drive When it s working it s a good drive It s pretty quiet and the price for the capacity is still pretty good Given the checkered reliability record I recommend having a spare drive on hand for any NAS/RAID array that you may be sticking these into Seagate is good about the RMA process you still have to pay to ship the dead drive to them but they pay the return shipping in general but to be without the drive for a week or more can be dicey in a RAID array
>> High capacity drive
I bought it to supplement 1 tb drive in my Netgear NAS Duo network attached storage to function in RAID1 configuration it needs to drives but I bought it with one also from Amazon This drive is compatible with NAS Duo and does the job I liked the packaging which is environmentally friendly
>> 1 5TB for 1 5 years
got it in 2008
136 bad sectors 8 250million raw read errors a day and similar seek error rate
10 spin up retrys not powersupply related
works has decent transfer rates believe it or not im still running a winxp system on it with hardly any problems besides it hanging on boot 1 3 times every day could be unrelated
