Seagate 320GB HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST320DM000)

I wanted to upgrade the 320 GB HDD capacity of my 24" iMac that I had purchased in 2008, and after some search found the best deal from Amazon at Rs 3449 with free delivery for the above replacement. As I was in a hurry, I happily added Rs 49 towards expedited guaranteed delivery within 2 days, and it was received well within the stipulated period. The brand new drive was in excellent condition and worked flawlessly. The search for the item, website ordering and excellent feedback through e-mail & SMS and the tracking facility made my task very easy, and I am delighted with the product quality and price.

Bought this in end of May20 and now before two months it has stopped working kindly let me know what to do as it’s warrants is of 1 year how to get it replaced or changed. I called the seagate office who told me that I have been supplied with an old /re furnished piece. This is akin to criminal cheating

Product quality is good,i dont know whether its product id was enterd on seagate DB or not ,if i face any issue in varranty period how to apprach manufacturure

The hard disk received was with bad sectors. Due to my plight of staying in other city (work) different from the city (home) to where I have ordered the product, it left me with only weekends to go there (home) and proceed with the installation of the OS in the hard disk. For the first 2 weeks, I suffered from the problems of CD drive not working and the pen drive malfunctioning. So, after giving the attempts of installing the OS by myself, I approached a local private dealer to do the work for me. He informed that the hard disk has come with bad sectors. (He even showed me that it sounds some small part is loose, when shaking the hard disk keeping it near to your ear. It doesn't happen with my other old Seagate Barracuda HDD). When I thought of returning the product, I realised that the return cooling period has already been expired. So, legally I cannot blame Amazon. But I am utterly disappointed with the product. I won't blame Seagate as it didn't happen with my other Seagate HDDs.

The series ST1000DM003 from Seagate is one of the best 1TB hard disks you can get. Just don't bother about the green, blue and black models from Western Digital as seagate made it easy for us to decide by providing one single worthy model. Its a Quiet and fast hard disk that suits all kinds of applications. Definite buy for all...worth every penny spent. Great packaging by Amazon, received the product in good condition within 3 days of purchase. Just go for it...!!

product worked good for first 3 months, after that as 6 months are over, i got frequent memory issues( ram was good) memory dump messages started to occur every day. Formatted multiple times however no permanent fix found so far. Product is not good at all. - Imran Burhanuddin Hyderabad 9700626962

ok i havent used an ssd so far on windows system but this boots up refreshingly as i was writing this review i timed my restart as ive never done it before it took 42 secs to restart BOOM! 15 secs for shuting down and less than 30 secs to boot up to all those crazy expensive ssds kiss my and thats not it, load times are insane maybe that is due to my ram but im loving it. system config@ i7 4790k 4.4 Ghz asus z97-a mobo corsair vengeance pro 16gigs 1866mhz seagate barracuda 1TB

I have been using Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm for the past 5 years without any kind of issues. Crystal Disk shows that my older HDD is fine and going strong. Hence, to go along with Seagate again seemed to be a logical decision when my storage space ran out. I use it for my OS, installed apps, and storage [partitioned]. Its easy to use. Just plug and play. Remember to perform a full format with NTFS before using it to store/install.

Hola, soy de México D.F. Compre el producto un domingo, y llego al dia siguiente, el lunes, fue demasiado rápido. El producto venia totalmente cerrado en su bolsa, y protejido por una cajita de carton, lo instale en mi computadora que por cierto es S-ATA, y el disco es S-ATA 3, le quedo perfectamente y es compatible en todo, (obvio no le saco todo lo que puede ofrecer este disco duro ya que mi compu es de menos calidad) instale el sistema operativo, y la verdad siento mi computadora mas rápida, trabaja excelente, y claro que volvere a comprar este producto para una nueva PC que comprare en un tiempo no muy lejano. Totalmete se lo recomiendo a las personas que lean mi comentario, no se arrepentiran, YO ESTOY FELIZ CON EL. =)

gran marca a buen precio

This hard drive works like a champ with my setup. NO glitches. It's a BARE drive so no manual, no screws for install and no software. Really, all you need are screws or a screwless bay. So save the money and get a bare drive and download whatever drivers or Seagate software you need before installing. This starts up anyway using Win 7 drivers. To Partition and Format the drive: Use Windows 7 Control Panel > Administration > Computer Management > Disk Management Utility to Partition and Format as you want. Instructions for partitioning/formatting are all over the web, but I use the ones from Windows Knowledge base on the Microsoft Website. Very clear. Also -- using the cache for performance settings. At the recommendation of others, I did a full format (vs quick format) after partitioning - no errors / bad sectors on any of the drives. This takes a LOT longer with 1TB and 2TB drives than the quick format option, but it thoroughly checks the drives so you know what you've got (or not got) up front. Figure a couple hours for 2TB drives or thereabouts. Before purchasing any of the Hard Drives for my new build, I thoroughly read all the reviews. This is the third of 3 Seagate 3.5" Bare Drives I've installed in my HAF X case. The Other Two are Seagate Barracuda "XT's" -- 2TB. All work great. While I "wanted" solid state drives, they are not practical from a cost standpoint for me because I do Video Editing and need so much hard drive space. Even 3TB isn't near enough yet. I decided to stick with one vendor -- and it was Seagate vs Western Digital for the internal hard drives for performance and reliability reasons, and because of the warranty periods. I've had both types of internal drives in the past. Only the Western Digital gave out, but that was also after a long time and heavy use. Not intended as a slam. Both brands are probably fine. Still the Barracuda XT's especially outperform the WD Caviar Blacks for the type of programs I run. I have installed and briefly read through all the Seagate software, but have taken it (and all other bloatware & unnecessary starup files) out of my startup sequence, which makes for very fast POST and Windows bootup of ~ 8 seconds on my Asus P8Z68-VPRO/Gen 3 motherboard/I72600K CPU. (That boot time is off the Seagate 2TB Barracuda XT boot drive with 64MB cache with NO overclocking.) Still, may use re-enable Seagate Tools software for backups vs Win7 and some of the other features that software offers. Very pleased so far with performance, speed, temps of these drives, and they are NOT noisy at all. In fact, very quiet. Last -- this 1TB drive is for a 6.0Gb/s SATA port, but just FYI -- it's backwards compatible with 3.0 Gb/s SATA ports and cables. I installed this drive on a 3.0 Gb/s SATA port using a 6.0Gb/s cable (only kind of SATA data cable I purchased) and it works just fine. That 3.0 Gb/s SATA "port speed" is really faster anyway than what any spinning hard drive can accomplish anyway and I've already used my two Z68 6.0 Gb/s SATA ports for the 2TB Barracuda XT's. Avoided using the Marvel 6.0 Gb/s controller SATA ports on the Mobo. Using the Z68 SATA ports instead -- too many people having problems with using both controllers at the same time, especially if they have a RAID setup (I don't). 3.0Gb/s connection is fast enough for now but by purchasing the 6.0Gb/s drives, may have some future capability compatibility at a minimum markup now.

From the moment I plugged it in, this drive has been a dream, 10TB of storage is a lot and I don't plan on needing any more storage for the many years to come. It's also a really fast drive too considering the fact that this is a HDD and not an SSD. I've had no noise issues which I was slightly worried about since the mounting holes on this drive only let me screw in 2 screws into this drive using the mounting system in my rosewill blackhawk ultra case, but it is running very well. It's a pretty penny to pay, but from my experiences with this drive, it's entirely worth it if you have any need for this much storage. Heat has also simply not been an issue with me on this drive too in case anyone was wondering. I will update if anything changes. Update 3/28/2017: After using it for almost a solid month for gaming, I can confirm that the drive is still running amazingly :)

Very good product, Work perfectly, BUT the HDD was NOT activated, I thought it was borken at first, and did'nt know that I had to "activate" it, I had to go to the computer shop/repair store to get it activated, Did'nt cost me anything and the guy said I could activated it myself, if I figure it out, so its no big deal. 5 Star ! I like that HDD. Side note: It work very well with the Inateck USB 3.0 to SATA External Hard Drives Docking Station for 2.5 Inch & 3.5 Inch HDD SSD SATA.
