I became concerned that my existing drive was nearing the end of its useful life. It took forever to boot and sometimes I had to start the computer multiple times. And it was packed solid with original data. When I bought the computer 280GB seemed like more space that I'd ever use in a lifetime. The Seagate replacement used a utility to make itself an exact copy of the original. I left it alone for a few hours to do the data transfer, so I don't know how long it took. But it was perfect and the new drive has operated 24/7 without problems. It boots perfectly and it has filled all of the requirements to be my replacement. [...]

Difficult to get the drive to show up in the drive list.

BEWARE THE INSTALL PROGRAM!!!

The Seagate installation program selected a full drive to format and showed the drive as "blank", so I assumed that was the letter the computer assigned to it and formatted it. I lost 2 years worth of downloaded data because of that stupid program. And all Seagate did was point me to their data recovery service. For a fee, of course.

The drive itself has been reliable so far. It's quiet and runs at the speed you'd expect.

My final verdict? Good hardware, horrible software.

Comments about maxtor Seagate® Barracuda® 1TB Internal SATA Desktop Hard Drive (7200 RPM):

After going for cheaper drives in the past, I have come back to Seagate's best drive. It has a great 5-year warranty which thus far I've never exercised. This is my 3rd drive and no problems with any. If you get it on sale, it is a great buy for a drive that should cover you for quite some time.

Comments about maxtor Seagate® Barracuda® 1TB Internal SATA Desktop Hard Drive (7200 RPM):

Clear, well-written instructions, and disk
drives have a standard straightforward interface. But one should be comfortable finding one's way around the inside of a PC before undertaking the task.
