1 out of 5 stars Shockingly bad.......2007-12-08

I buy a LOT of consumer electronics. This wins the award as the most expensive purchasing mistake that I've made in 20 years. I blame myself for being distracted by the shiny specs in the local compudoodle rather than researching on Amazon like a good little consumer.
Luckily, I've not lost any important data. What I have lost is confidence in anything that Seagate/Maxtor makes. Hitachi, Western Digital, IBM, Samsung - welcome to my nice list. Seagate/Maxtor welcome to my naughty list.

1 out of 5 stars Buy something else.......2007-11-01

Be warned: the warranty service on this drive is dreadful. Not because it's slow, but because the 'refurbished' replacement is likely to be worthless. The USB/Firwire interface on my first drive failed after 6 months. I'm now on my fourth round: none of the three replacement drives (each sent in a flimsy box) have even passed the supplied diagnostics. One sounded like a small lawnmower, another wouldn't format. Good luck finding someone other than 'Sean' from Hyderabad to talk to.

1 out of 5 stars Stay Away .......2007-10-25

My first drive had the same diagnostic error as everyone who has reported here within 3 months. 1st replacement had the same error within 3 days (refurbished). 2nd replacement had same error 1st day (refurbished). 3rd friggin refurbished replacement I've received today had the same dang error. I'll be making another call tomorrow. Stay away from this at all cost.

1 out of 5 stars MAXTOR will destroy your data, they are terrible.......2007-09-10

Maxtor One touch III drives are terrible. I have two - they broke within a year - in the 11th month of my owning them. I lost all the data. They won't replace them, because their warranty is for one year from the date of manufacture- not purchase. Clever, no? I bought them from Amazon. Maxtor won't stand behind them. Their customer service is awful. The last message I got back from them was in spanish. I STRONGLY recommend that you don't buy a maxtor drive. I will never again buy one. I wish I read the messages here, before I bought them.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY - YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA.......2007-08-25

I bought one of these a year ago and lived through the minor problems (like the computer wouldn't recognize the drive after rebooting or just because it felt like it). Then, just before the 1 year warranty was up, it started making clicking noises and would not be recognized at all. I lost all of my data, but it wasn't critical stuff (recorded TV, videos in the process of being edited, etc.). I didn't get around to calling until just after the warranty expired, but when I called, they said they would replace the drive for just the shipping fee with a 'refurbished' one.

I received the replacement and within a couple months, the internal controller apparently failed and now it will not support RAID to make it 1TB. I have a single, non-mirrored 500GB drive now. Still with the same problems about being recognized as the first one.

It's about to go into the trash as soon as I receive my second 500GB Seagate Freeagent hard drive.

DO NOT BUY. They have not figured the electronics out and if you rely on it for critical data or backup YOU WILL LOSE YOUR DATA.

        5 out of 5 stars Works Great........2007-12-14

        My hard drive crashed and was able to order this one and replace it myself. Works great and is very reasonably priced.

        5 out of 5 stars works as advertised.......2007-12-09

        A good solid drive that works just fine.

        I got the first drive DOA, but Amazon sent another one the next day.
        It's quite possible that drive got damaged during shipping.
        The BIOS did not see it.

        I always use Segate drives and they last for many years.

        4 out of 5 stars arrived, had the required parts, seems to be working OK.......2007-11-30

        Worked fine. The internal drive didnt exactly conform to what the Apple documentation told me to expect, with screws in places not in the Apple documentation. However, the fault may be more with Apple than Seagate. With a few educated guesses I was able to install this unit into my iMac G5. It is working just fine.

        5 out of 5 stars Good HD.......2007-11-22

        Delivered on time, working immediately. Easy to install, works fine with my Asus P5W motherboard.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent Hard Drive.......2007-01-10

        I always use Seagate, this Barracuda its pretty fast and low-noise, buy 2 of these for a raid 0 and you are done
