Just bought a Seagate...

[GuileVsGuile]

Anyone who owns a Seagate hard drive or has ever owned one, what is your opinion on this brand? I've read good things about it. Just wanna see what people here think...

 

[KoolDrew]

One of the best.

 

[MustISO]

I've had no issues with the Seagates I have.

 

[Icopoli]

I've had mine for a couple months now and haven't had any complaints.

 

[Cheezeit]

ive only used WD so far, and no problems. I was gonna get a seagate, but couldn't resist a deal monarch was having for 320gb at 135 shipped

lol, believe me, i am not a stupid buyer...I researched the drive and read many reviews on it.
I just wanted to see what some of the people here thought just for the hell of it.

btw, what exactly do you do with a single 320 GB? movies?

Other than corrupting them with my OC testing sometimes. Its the only brand I will use.

2 TB, geez, i hope some of that is at least for a server, cause 1.99 TB is alot of porn

seagate and WD are close to the same, offering excellent quality and performance for good prices

 

[Texun]

I think they make one of the best drives available... they just never made one for me. I've had 3 out or 5 go bad within a year while several WD's and Maxtors keep on churning away. Seagates are fast and nearly silent, which is something I can't say about Maxtor. After my last Seagate went Tango Uniform I replaced it with a Samsung and couldn't be happier. In terms of silence and performance I would rate Samsung and Seagate at the top.

You bought a mere 80 GBs :Q

I won't buy any HDDs smaller than 250 GB from now on, since i am always running outta ports for them...

What do i use my 1.2 TBs for?

Video aka movies, TV shows, raw DVD rips.

Music, appz...

It just all adds up.

BTW, to answer your original question, Seagate is great

 

[shelaby]

never had any issues with seagate. have had problems with WD and Maxtor

 

[w00t]

i have a 80gig seagate ata150 drive.

 

[drifter106]

i have 3 of them and will soon have a 4th and 5th...missed the outpost sale last week...

anyway, from my experience, which is limited, they work great...they have a 5 year warranty and i dont think any other company matches that (cept for the raptors)

Seagate = good stuff. My 60 GB Maxtor DiamondMax 9 is making noise around the 2.8 years mark.
