Good replacement hard disk 
2009-01-04
Got this hard disk for inventory next time a customer has a crash. I've tried it out and it works.
Worked Great 
2008-12-16
I installed this using a fresh copy of Vista.
It was recognized and formated with ease.
Very simple install. It is quiet and I haven't had any issues.
Great Product - Easy Installation 2008-12-12
I have purchased two of these now - I can't say enough. They are easy to install as both a backup drive and a fresh build. Fast as lightning and lots of room!
Crashed disk 
2008-11-25
One month later, or actually only about 3 weeks, and this brand-new disk has already crashed !!! What more need I say ??? Will try a disk from Maxtor next
The warrantee, the warrantee, the warrantee 2008-11-15
Seagate stands behind this product with a 5 year warrantee. I've tried all the brands over the years, both IDE, SATA and SCSI, and nobody makes failure proof disk drives. I've sent back drives to everyone. SCSI will last you much longer with better performance, but at a much higher price point. I have six of these in various machines and they're quite satisfactory. You will probably be looking at 1TB models after summer 2008, but there are some heat and noise issues some report with those units. These are satisfactory in that regard. SATA is an improvement in some respects, but not hugely different in performance from IDE on most machines.

major let-down 2008-11-08
I purchased this drive in September '08 and it crashed less than two months later. No warning signs--drive just failed. I was shocked because the Seagate name was highly recommended by a friend. Sure, the drive had an extra-long warranty and sure this could happen with any brand, but still a major pain in the ### dealing wih the aftermath. Fortunately I had all of my info backed up on an external HD. Less than two months out of this drive is ridiculous, after all, this is not a no-name company. Strangely enough, the drive that failed before this one was a Maxtor (which is also manfactured by Seagate). Seagate's customer service was not very helpful.
Great high capacity, high speed SATA drive 2008-09-30
I needed a second drive for my workstation, and it was pretty much a choice between Western Digital and Seagate. This one seemed the best in terms of value and size. I may be building an external storage array in the near future, and I'll probably buy this drive again.
Good but noisy 2008-07-24
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 2008-06-30
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.
