This is a great product. If you haven't noticed I have several posts on here, building a new P.C. requires spending time at Best Buy. First only took less than five minutes to install the drive. Some where around 1 hour for the Fantastic, and I mean that , software to clone my old drive on to the new one. Really works well and once you have done the click next thing install is all automatic. The picture in the book and the instructions are 100% accurate. Went with Seagate after reading all the reviews on every website I could find on every drive I could find. Whisper quiet,easy install,great price. It seems that any drive over 1tb has a high failure rate. Why did i go with Seagate? Well I just used my years of experieance, built computers now for about 27 years, and seemed to have better luck with Seagate. Western digital has improved greatly and the smaller drive I cloned from was WD. Seagate has a lousy attitude toward returns and rma, whereas WD is much more customer orientated. Now your asking why, well if this one fails I will go with WD and Seagate will lose a customer for life. Why because they own Maxtor, Hitachi, and I think Samsung not sure about them, who knows what else now. So this is a test for all my bro's and sisters out there in Best Buy land. Oh one thing I forgot the jumper is not on the drive and is in an very small plastic package. I didnt use it but its very easy to lose if your not looking for it. Thanks Best Buy Another good Product So Far. The only thing every one should be aware of is that Seagate makes returning thier product about as difficult as they can. Where as Western digital is customer orientated, read all the reviews then flip a coin. If this does fail WD will be my next try. Seagate was first because of the price and the fact most reviews said it wasquiet to start with. If its quiet its probably not chewing up the disks, We will see.
