5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect After 6 Months., January 12, 2007

This review is from: Seagate ST3250623A-RK Barracuda 250 GB Ultra ATA/100 Internal Hard Drive (Personal Computers)

I have had my Seagate 250 for about 6 months and have not had any problems. (knock on wood) I keep it in an enclosure (USB 2.0) so I can't attest to the speed of the drive. I use it for backing up photos, music, movies and I have about 100gb left. The HD itself is very quiet. I read alot of reviews before picking this drive. I have had Maxtors, Western Digitals and Seagates.. out of the three I have only had major issues with Maxtors.

of course I do not keep my External Drives on overnight or for long periods of time. I also keep my drives in pretty cool locations. cheers.

I love this hard drive. It is really very quiet. Seagate makes the best hard drives. They are one of the few companies that stand behind their product with a 5 year warranty. I will only buy from them from now on. Western Digital used to give 5yr warranty but they dropped that to 3yrs. I've been burned 3 times with HD failures within those 3-4yrs after purchased. So far Seagate hasn't let me down.

The title says it all--this drive worked flawlessly for 3 years until it failed. I am now contacting Seagate, since this item has a 5-year warranty, thankfully. I have a second drive just like this one, purchased at the same time, that is still working fine.
