5.0 out of 5 stars mine works fine, November 11, 2007

I've had my Seagate ST3750640AS for one year now and it has done a great job. The drive is very fast and responsive.

The only minor complaint I would have is that it did cause my computer to vibrate a bit when spinning up. I just put a piece of plywood under my computer so it didn't sit on the carpet and all was well.

I don't know what the other complaints are about. I researched the drive before buying and it had really good benchmarks. Granted, it had just come out when I purchased it though. Perhaps he got a bum unit or bought one from a bum vendor.

Mine's been good to me!

UPDATE: 3 years later and the drive is still running well. I often create/delete large video files and it has never given me a problem. fyi, it is used in a Mac Pro.

Here's the deal: I have been building computers since the early 80's. I even built the first file server in my University department as a grad student. That server ran for twelve years before being retired.

In 30 years I have had three hard drives go bad. One was an old Western Digital drive that died in the mid 90's after running for over 6 years in two different machines. The other two bad drives were in the last year. One was a Maxtor, sold by Seagate oddly I have two pre-Seagate Maxtors in a RAID array and they are clipping along nicely). The other was the drive in this advertizement. I have Hitachi's, and Western Digitals running in 3 media centers and two desktops. All are older than the two bad Seagates and all are still performing flawlessly.

For the China bashers, get a life and look at the drives you are recommending. Hitachi, WD and IBM all import their drives from China. I suspect they are not alone. And before you start, I am not of Asian descent.

Works as advertised. Plug-N-Play installation (after purchase of a SATA cable). Used this drive to clone my existing hard drive (it is the identical model in my HP) for backup purposes.
