THIS PRODUCT SHIPS IN OEM PACKAGING - GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN
Manufacturers sometimes offer discounts when large quantities of products are purchased without fancy, colorful, retail packaging. We take advantage of these opportunities to bring you the same quality, retail product at a lower price. Retail packaging is designed to look good on a store shelf and attract your attention. It frequently includes more paper, plastic and cardboard than needed. OEM packaging is not as visually attractive but is far more economical and because OEM packaging uses less paper, plastic, ink and cardboard it creates less waste and is better for the environment. Although OEM packaged product ships in a plain white or brown box you can be assured it is the same quality product as the retail packaged version. Buying OEM packaged products saves you money and helps save the planet…GO GREEN AND SAVE GREEN. Included accessories, software, documentation, and manufacturer warranties on OEM products may vary from retail versions. Please review our detailed specifications and photo gallery for included accessories and see below for warranty information.

15 Months before problems

Crashes at 15 months of light home use. Segate tools will only say failure. Waiting for Segate C.S. to respond. Quality is apparently spotty.

Great drive

I received this drive on 9-1-11. bought it as a 2nd drive for data storage. My boot drive is a seagate 750gig. So far no problem at all. even with both drives running you can't hear them. I dont know if it would be good for boot drive or not. I dought they would be mcuh of a speed difference. Great price for 1tb. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a storage drive.

DOA

Drive would start and stop, mainly stop. Tried in two machines with multiple power and data cable configurations - all failed. Drive could not have been tested at the factory.

It stores things, but for how long?

I have had no problems so far with this drive, install was smooth, has operated now without issue for 7 months. The PS I ordered when I grabbed this HD has died, so hopefully it will not follow suit, but the reviews seem to say otherwise. No problems here, but I have not been forced to experience failure.
