Poor Packaging Also

Poor Packaging Also
When I opened my box the two hard drives had just been put in a large box with a few air pillows (see customer photos). That is not the correct way to ship hard drives and not how the company I normally get my hard drives from ships their hard drives. I am returning them, since it is not worth the risk of possible damage. Based on reading other customer's reviews and looking at the customer photos this is a common and on going problem. Amazon needs to train people how to correctly ship these types of items. So much for Amazon Certified Frustration-Free Packaging specifically engineered to protect fragile items during shipping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Drives for NAS
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011
Verified Purchase
I purchased 5 of these along with Synology DS1511+ NAS from Amazon back in April, 2011 for my home. I can't say about how they perform as internal drives for a desktop or in an USB/eSATA external enclosure, but I can definitely state that they work great as NAS drives. I have these configured as RAID6, which means you can lose up to 2 disks and still have your volume intact (but at point you won't have fault tolerance). The NAS I got itself is a high-efficient unit, and combined with these green drives it definitely consumes less power than the two servers that I replaced...and I have 5.44TB of fault tolerant storage accessible from my 10 PCs/Macs.

I saw other reviewers commenting about them not being "high-performance" drives. That is correct, this drive was never intended to be used as your primary drive for your system. If you're looking for a high-performance drives, you should definitely look for 7,200/10,000rpm drives with 16/32MB cache.

However, when used in a RAID configuration, these drives will deliver high-performance with overall reduced power consumption. In my NAS I was able to sustain around 160MB/S throughput writing to NAS over gigabit network (and even faster reading from it). There's nothing low-performance about these drives when used in a proper setting. The drive is also quiet. Standing next to my NAS, I can't hear any drive noise even with 5 drives side-by-side.

Bottom line, don't purchase drives purely based on price and capacity. You don't buy Prius for high-performance, why expect high-performance from a "Green" drive? Identify what you're going to do with it, then look for qualifying drives for best result. I would have never purchased this to be used in my desktop (for performance) and neither should you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big storage and low price
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2011
Verified Purchase
I bought this hard drive to use it as an USB external hard drive disk. By the way i also bought this enclosure ( Macally G-S350SU Hi-Speed eSata/USB2.0 External Storage Enclosure for 3.5inch SATA HDD ) which has an eSata port and this cable  StarTech 6-Feet Shielded External eSATA Cable M/M (ESATA6) . I love this HD, i live in Costa Rica and the same capacity hard drive is around the double price this is so for me it is very cheap.
The only thing for you to take note: this HD is Green wich means that it conserves energy and do this by turning off it motor. So some times if you have like 5-10 minutes without reading-writing from the this it will stop spining its disk so when you need to read/write again you need to wait until the HD start the motor again. The wait its aboout 10 seconds wich isnothing but is important to you know this.
In the normal use it is a really fast drive. I write files to it at 50 MB/s rate it's really fast. The other day I copy 10 Gb in about 3 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ready NAS NV+ Upgrade
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
My digital life went into the proverbial turd bucket, when I tripped over my 70 pound boxer, and my open, running laptop and I hit the deck, while reading an article.

Of course I lost months of accumulation, that I'll never get back. I had no backup plan. With several PC's in our household, Online cloud services didn't appeal to me, and since I was the proud owner of a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ with four 250g Seagates, I felt I could use it as a solution. The problem is that that horse already left the barn.... but that's another story.

I bought Acronis Home Image 2011, and started to use it to back up my PC's. My capacity before the upgrade was 676 gigs, and based on how my backups were progressing, I knew I better start looking at upgrading my drives. I checked the READYNAS website and got their list of the latest 2TB drives that they certified and off I went shopping.

The price per TB has come down. The last time I looked at the price of upgrading to 4 x 1TB, I remember it being around $450, so it was a pleasant surprise to see twice the capacity at a much lower price point. I choose the ST2000DL003's because of solid reviews, and my partiality to Seagate.

Now for some technical observations, for those looking to upgrade their ReadyNAS NV+.

My ReadyNAS NV+ unit originally shipped with four Seagate ST3250620AS 250g units. with is set up X-RAID, so with the redundancy, I had 676GB of usable space. These drives had only ~8,000 hours on them, and they have never given me any issues. So I'm sure I'll find them handy to have around...
With Seagate touting the new ST2000DL003 drives as "Green", I decided to take some before and after power readings. The old drives idled consumed 29 watts, and while the drive were working the NAS consumed 52 watts at the power cord.

ReadyNAS's touted X-Raid technology worked as advertised. I started with drive #1, and here is a typical log report for the four drives:

Tue May 17 12:15:23 EDT 2011 Disk remove event occurred on SATA channel 1.

Tue May 17 12:15:24 EDT 2011 Disk fail event occurred on SATA channel 1. If the failed disk is used in a RAID level 1, 5, or X-RAID volume, please note that volume is now unprotected, and an additional disk failure may render that volume dead.

Tue May 17 12:22:46 EDT 2011 Disk add event occurred on SATA channel 1.

Tue May 17 12:22:56 EDT 2011 Disk initialization started. The estimated time of completion is 17 hour(s) and 39 minute(s), at which time you will be notified via email. You can also check the progress in Frontview in the Volumes -> RAID Settings tab. Please do not shutdown the system while the initialization is in progress.

Tue May 17 17:45:49 EDT 2011 Disk initialization successfully finished.

Tue May 17 17:45:49 EDT 2011 RAID sync started on volume C.

Tue May 17 19:07:21 EDT 2011 RAID sync finished on volume C. The volume is now fully redundant.

Then after 2 - 3 days of rolling the four drives in, the wrap up looked like this:

Thu May 19 07:52:09 EDT 2011 The first stage of the in-place volume expansion is done. Please reboot the device to complete the volume expansion.

Thu May 19 07:53:27 EDT 2011 System is up.

Thu May 19 08:10:07 EDT 2011 Please close this browser session and use RAIDar to reconnect to the device. System rebooting...

Thu May 19 08:10:08 EDT 2011 Rebooting device...

Thu May 19 15:04:23 EDT 2011 Data volume has been successfully expanded to 5490 GB.

The watt meter settled down to around 45 watts while the drives were active,and around 25 watts at idle.

If you crave more room in you NAS, these drives at their great price point definitely fill the bill. The drives strike a good balance of lower power consumption, less noise and heat, and a fat buffer. Hope this helps!

4.0 out of 5 stars After new driver install, works great
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2011
Verified Purchase
My old hard drive was filled to capacity, so I had to upgrade. I decided on Seagate Barracuda Green based on the glowing reviews and great price.

Windows did not recognize the drive right away. I had to go into the computer management screen to get it to work. I downloaded a driver from the manufacturer's website, because Vista Home Premium only formatted the disk to 54% and then it hanged for hours. I think it stopped. After the driver installed, I had no troubles.

I had backed up my files from the old drive and then recovered them to this new drive. Everything works great -- and quiet, too. I don't even hear it spinning. I'm a happy camper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect drives for a NAS
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2014
Verified Purchase
I originally purchased 2 of these drives back in August 2012 to go in my Thecus N4200Eco NAS box in a RAID array, I wanted something that was going to last, be quiet, reliable and perform well.

These have done exactly that! they weren't the cheapest 2TB drives on the market, but they have certainly met my expectations and I haven't had a single hiccup during the time I have had them, I am hoping they will continue to perform as well as they have been.

The data speeds are very reasonable considering the slow spindle speed, so don't let this put you off.

I would definitely recommend these to anyone wanting a long term, reliable drive in a NAS box or other similar device.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for money. Excellent online support. Disc Wizard software makes cloning old drive a great experience.
Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
Good value for money: I looked for a new HDD to replace my old sluggish main HDD. After searching around other online and on street retailers, and comparing similar capacity drives between WD and Seagate, I found this Seagate ST2000DL003 best value for the money. After discount and free shipping, I paid $70 (before tax and environmental disposal fee). This drive comes with 3 years mfg warranty.

Excellent online support: Comprehensive online manual, specs, instructions, software, etc. makes it easy to find the support and downloading Disc Wizard software to make installation and cloning of the old drive easy.

Disc Wizard software makes cloning old drive a great experience: Before installing the new drive, I made a backup of all the data to an external HDD. I also installed Disc Wizard and make a boot-able recovery CD for my PC just in case. The bootable CD made from DW did not work! But, the cloning process works flawlessly. I left the cloning running overnight. Came back in the morning, rebooted, swapped the drive and tested the new HDD. It is an exact copy of the old HDD. All the passwords, user accounts, brower's cookies and history are there. The only difference is the more storage space. If this drive last another 3 years just like the old drive, it's worth the money.

I hope this helps you in your search for a new HDD.
