Summary: Difficult to install 2010-03-07
Comment: I bought two of these to install in a RAID configuration. When I loaded Windows XP, the OS didn't recognize the array and the software packaged with the drives wouldn't run because it said there wasn't a seagate or maxtor drive installed in my system. I bought the extra software from Acronis, but it still didn't recognize the new array. One of the drives in the old array (the maxtor) failed while I was using the Acronis software to copy an image to my external backup array. Finally, I was able to get the new array to work by using the utilities from a Western Digital drive (the one that survived the backup operation) that I installed two years ago. I'm going to buy western digital drives exclusively from now on.

Summary: Bad drive - wouldn't format completely- returned it and bought a SamSung 2010-03-07
Comment: Frustrated. Returned the drive after repeatedly unable to format drive in a Windows Vista PC. Formatting hung at 73% complete two times in a row. Seagate diagnostic software could not find a problem. Should of read the many other unsatisfied reviews on Amazon before purchasing this Seagate. Returned the Seagate Barracuda to Amazon and purchased a Samsung 1Tb SATA, formatted it without a hitch and it works without an issue.

Summary: Stephen 2010-03-03
Comment: The drive worked as expected. I was very happy to find out that it shipped with the latest firmware that is necessary to keep the drive from failing. Because of the seriousness of the firmware issue I still strongly suggest everyone make sure that their drives have the latest firmware from Seagate on these Barracuda hard drives.

Comment: This unit is just what I ordered. I am even using the packaging it came it to store the unit outside of the MacPro I use it in. Thanks
