- OK so far, but runs hot and loud.
I've had one of these in my machine for over a year now.The drive is fine, a tad hot and makes some noise, but I've had no issues.I picked up a second one for an external hard drive, but that was maybe a mistake.I don't think it gets nearly hot enough to hurt the drive or the enclosure, but it does get noticeably toasty.The noise isn't that bad, kind of nice hearing when it is reading/writing.

I had a ST3500630AS in a well cooled Antec case.The drive started with the "click of death" about 12 months after I installed it.I ran some deep scans and several sectors were found to be defective (though the data was recovered).Clicks started up again and finally the OS (XP Pro) got incredibly slow due to the number of necessary re-reads (and presumably re-writes).Replaced the drive and did a successful disk clone and now the system is MUCH faster (lending credence to the theory that that ...

This hard drive worked out perfectly for my Netgear RND2150 ReadyNAS Duo 500 GB Desktop Network Attached Storage. You will need to buy some mounting screws though to install it in the ReadyNAS Duo. It was easy to install and works perfectly.
The packaging was also excellent. It came in an anti-static bag and lodged between two custom plastic pieces to keep it from moving around in the box.
Rating: - Decent large capacity hard drive at a good price point
At the moment 500GB - 1 TB drives are selling at very good prices. I tend to buy Seagates due to their 5 year warranties though I've never had to take advantage of it.
I've purchased 30-40 HDs in the past for my PCs and friends PC's which I helped put together and I've never had any serious problems with any of the brands including Maxtor, Fujitsu, Quantum, WD, Hitachi and Seagate. Theres always been a group of people who rabidly bash one brand or another, including Seagate. Probably the ... Read More
