Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200.11 Bulk/OEM Hard Drive ST31000340AS Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought 4 of these for a RAID5 setup in September.So far I've had two of them fail.One was a hard failure in which the controller stopped working completely, and the other is showing a lots of seek errors in the SMART data and tells me its going to fail soon.They both started clicking the heads (a symptom of a reset because of an error) just a few days after I got them.

Seagate replaced the total failure within a couple of days after I reported it, and now I have to ship them back the failed drive.I bought a new unit I'm expecting tomorrow as a spare replacement, and I will be reporting and shipping back the drive with all the seek errors soon.

The drives have otherwise been great, but 50% isn't such a good reliability statistic, and that's my primary measure for a drive.

On the other hand, I did buy two other drives from the same family, two ST3500320AS drives.They have been working away flawlessly in my workstation in a RAID1 setup since I got them.
