  Duration of ownership: 1

  Strengths: velocidad, precio, capacidad

  Weaknesses:firmware fallado de fabrica, garantia no cubre los datos en los discos

  Overall Evaluation: EL firmware fallado de fabrica hace que cuando el disco sufra este inconveniente, deje de ser detectado por el equipo. A esta altura, es imposible utilizar un software para recuperar los datos que hubieran en el disco. La solucion es enviar a una empresa de recuperacion de datos, ej: OnRetrieval, Onrescue, etc. a que nos rescaten la info.La garantia de seagate no se hace responsable por los datos que hubieran en el disco. Solo se remitiran a reemplazar el disco fallado por uno nuevo con el firmware actualizado.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Days

  Strengths: It's over 1 TB, price is good

  Weaknesses:Slows my WinXP Pro system to a crawl while in my SATA enclosure, causes frequent system freezeups and crashes, doesn't save data

  Overall Evaluation: I had heard that there were issues w/this type of 1.5 TB drive, but mainly in using them in RAID arrays. As I was going to place it in an eSATA enclosure and use it as a storage/backup drive, I figured it would be fine. Unfortunately, it slowed my system to a crawl, froze it and locked it up every time I attempted to copy data over to it - so I had to return it after two days. :(

  Duration of ownership: 3 Days

  Strengths: My computer finally sees the hard drive. Hugh back up capacity. Allowed me to free up space on WD raptors so I could play more games, or just free up space on the other hard drives.

  Weaknesses:Had to have admin privileges to assign hard drive letter, and format the drive.

  Overall Evaluation: Had this hard drive over a week, but only been able to use it the last 3 days. My computer had a hard time seeing the drive. Tried uninstalling drivers, and trying newer drivers but still would not work. Tried uninstalling hard drive and reinstalling it. No luck. Finally went into administrative options and was able to see hard drive and assign a drive letter and format the drive. Works great so far. I'm giving it a higher rating to off set the negative I posted a few days ago. I would purchase again knowing what I know now.

  Strengths: Massive storage in single drive

  Weaknesses:Needs updated firmware if early shipment.

  Overall Evaluation: Most recent shipments from Mwave have newer version of drive with newer firmware. Older version can get firmware update for RAID issue. Seems to work ok so far. We have drives where we updated firmware and they worked for some iSCSI work.
