Since, I have a laptop I am using this as an external hard-drive encased in an aluminum case using firewire. I tried quite a few hard-drive brands (IBM, Maxtor, Western Digital, Iomega, Toshiba and now Seagate) out there and right now Seagate hold little or no advantages except for the huge 5 years warranty. In the past Seagate was one of the most expensive hard-drive out there, now it is average price. <br /> <br />What to like: <br />+The price is fair market for 200 gigs. <br />+Seagate past reputation and 5-year warranty is a plus. <br />+Fast 7200rpm, but not the fastest <br />+Easy set-up, then again if you done formatting before then this is not an issues. I don't use the back-up software that came with the drive, because I do it manually to DVD-r. <br />+No hardware problems yet except for: <br /> <br />Negative: <br />-Noisy hard-drive. I returned the first 200gig after loud clicking noise while copying. There is also a chronic clicking sound about every 1.5 min for 15sec while idle! Other reviewers have noted this too. Must be the hardware checking itself. <br />I use this as an eternal hard-drive, so I can hear everything. The second replacement from Best Buy is a lot quieter then the first, but is still nosier then my old external Western Digital, which was silence except for start-up. Both hard drives ran at 7200 rpm. <br />-Not SATA, but parallel works better for external. <br /> <br />Past Result: <br />IBM Deskstar- Still working somewhere <br />Maxtor- Still working somewhere. <br />2 Western Digitals- Both lasted about 2 years, never will buy again. <br />Toshiba- still on my 4-years old laptop. <br />Iomega- 4200 rpm external still working and very quiet. <br /> <br />Update: <br />After a month the clicking sound has been subdue (still there) a little or I got use to it. 4 767 days ago Great Drive I am extremely happy with this purchase and will most likely purchase another one of these, soon. 5 754 days ago OK Positive: <br />* Installation is easy - it comes with all the instructions <br />* It's cheap <br /> <br />Neither Positive nor Negative: <br />* It's not as quiet as my old HD, but I don't really care about that <br />* My Win XP shows only 186 GB capacity for the drive, not 200, but this may be normal, I don't know. <br /> 5 754 days ago Drive died after 3 months I bought this item in March (not from Amazon), with the 5 year warranty. Worked fine, until it began making a clicking noise, described elsewhere as turning the drive on and off. When the drive was making that noise, it would no longer be detected by windows. If the drive was making the noise at startup, my system would hang, so I would have to unplug the drive (it's a secondary). I could reboot a couple of times and have a quiet drive that was recognized, but it would go south again. I even installed a fan blowing directly on the drives, thinking it might have been a heat issue. No change. <br /> <br />Contacted Seagate's tech support, and was told that the drive was under warranty (thankfully), but they had none in stock, and I would have to wait 7-10 days to see if they would recieve any more. Although they did waive the fee for the "advanced" shipping option for me. <br /> <br />So I have a dead 3 month old drive with no prospect of a replacement for the immediate future. I think most businesses, if you had a problem with a product under warranty that they did not have available, would try to make it right somehow, usually with the next step up, or an equivalent item. Not that I'm demanding a different/larger/faster drive, but I am perturbed that my only option is to wait for them to have some available. <br /> <br />A drive like this in a retail box should not fail after 3 months, and a customer should not have to wait for the manufacturer to "get some in". Very curious, this... I have another Seagate 160GB drive in my system right now as a non-boot drive. I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Back to WD for me... 2 754 days ago Quiet it is NOT To my dismay, I discovered that this drive does not support acoustic management modes. Everytime the cache is flushed (which is every 2-3 min or so) I have to put up with what sounds like the buzzing of a large insect trapped inside the computer case. It may be acceptable in a server room, not on a desktop. I'm going to return this thing and exchange it for either a Maxtor or a WD. 2 754 days ago Quick, quiet, and guaranteed! Whatever variable you're considering, Seagate is the way to go - and, at the time of this review, this drive is a great balance of size and cost. <br /> <br />Above all, Seagate's five-year warranty bests everyone. Hitachi offers 5-year warranty on SOME drives, but even then the warranty doesn't cover all aspects OF the drives. Seagate's warranty is complete and certain. Then again, you may never NEED the warranty, since Seagate drives so rarely fail. And five years is a long time in computer life, anyway - if you get that far out and have any trouble, it's probably time for a new drive and/or computer anyway. 200GB will seem teeny by then, and you might not want to waste the effort on service - if you ever needed it. <br /> <br />Second, setup was insanely easy. I delayed adding a second hard drive to my desktop for several years, fearing difficulties with the process. Oh, I've added lots of things to lots of computers - additional memory, new CDR and DVD drives, upgraded processes, new fans, replacement batteries (in laptops), modems and SCSI cards and USB/Fireware cards. But the consensus on hard drives seemed to be that trouble was ahead, and to beware. But not here, baby. I took the process very slowly, pausing plenty between each step largely out of fear and carefulness. But if I had simply followed the steps without pausing and fretting, we're talking MAYBE five minutes: Turn the machine off, open the case, remove the second drive housing, pop in the drive, replace the drive housing, connect two cables, close the case, and turn it on - bingo! The included software was a breeze, and would have been even for a newbie. I don't know what I was worried about, but suggest that you NOT worry and just move forward. You'll appreciate the extra space. <br /> <br />I haven't had ANY of the problems cited by others (and note that very few folks cite any problems anyway). No clicking, no noticeable noise, no slowdown, nada. Easy easy ease, all the way. <br /> <br />I'm us 5 754 days ago Merchant Details for Amazon Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating Provider Rating Rating System Reviews Last Updated BizRate.com 9.0 Scale 1 to 10 Read Reviews 30+ days ago ResellerRatings.com 6.24 Scale 1 to 10 Read Reviews 30+ days ago  We thought you might be interested in other BEST DEALS that we found for you: Hard Drives WESTERN DIGITAL-WDXMS1600TN in Hard Drives 160GB 5400RPM USB2.0; 12ms seek; Passport 2.5inch 9 Listings Best Price $92.65 Save up to 45% HEWLETT PACKARD-347708-B22 in Hard Drives 146GB 15K U320 SCSI UNIVERSAL HARD DRIVE 4 Listings Best Price $509.98 Save up to 27% IBM-42D0410 in Hard Drives 4 GBPS FC 300 GB/15K E-DDM 4 Listings Best Price $2,141.99 Save up to 28% LA CIE-300790U in Hard Drives 250GB LACIE D2 HD U2&F4&F8 EXTR II 7200RPM 7 Listings Best Price $129.00 Save up to 40% LA CIE-300963 in Hard Drives 1TB LACIE ETHERNET DISK GIGABIT 7 Listings Best Price $619.00 Save up to 31% LA CIE-301009 in Hard Drives LACIE 120GB RUGGED HD USB2 5400RPM 8MB 5 Listings Best Price $99.99 Save up to 37% Tape Backups QUANTUM-ER-S22AA-YF in Tape Backups QUANTUM SUPERLOADER3 LTO 2-HH 16 SLOT LVD SCSI RACK BARCODE 4 Listings Best Price $4,109.99 Save up to 28% Various Storage NET GEAR-SC101NA in Various Storage SC101 NETGEAR STORAGE-CENTRAL SC101 NETGEAR STORAGE-CENTRAL 8 Listings Best Price $66.98 Save up to 36% All Best Deals *Pricing and product information listed is obtained from the merchants and is subject to change without notice.
