Surprisingly fast
Reviewed by Hari Karam Singh. Review Posted 11/06/2009

I put on of these in about a month ago. I just ran some benchmarks and realised its 2x as fast (read rate) as my slightly older 320GB Barracudas!

I own 6 or these drives now, the others for backups via the Thermaltake docking bay. I've never had a problem with a Barracuda drive yet and they are always incredibly quiet.

No problems with latest firmware versions
Reviewed by Jasper. Review Posted 22/01/2009

Bought one of these drives at Christmas and it came with the CC1G firmware installed. Seagate have acknowledged that there are bugs in the earlier SDxx series of firmware and are working on a fix at the moment. Drives with CCxx or LCxx firmware are not affected. The drive formatted without any problems and is very quiet and fast. Recommended - just check the firmware revision before installing & obtain a flash update from Seagate, if necessary.

try keeping them cool...
Reviewed by Adam. Review Posted 10/01/2009

I've had 2 in a server for last 3 months. No problems at all. But I always seem to be very lucky with reliable hardware, maybe because I have a cooling fetish -- server has 9 12v fans running @ 5v, so they're very quiet but move plenty of air, plus an Akasa drive cooler on each disk (ruuning at 7v (connected between +5 and +12 rails). Disk temp currently 22C, max thrashing in warm office, 27C. Result: quiet office, reliable gear....
