Seagate Hard Drives

« on: December 17, 2004, 11:25:31 PM »

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Seagate hard drives. I really like the fact that they offer 5 year warrentees on all their hard drives and am considering buying a few for my computers. I have use Seagate SCSI drives in my all my dual xeon servers but SCSI drives are a little higher quality and some of my older SCSI drives are still under warrentee due to them having a 9 year warrentee. Anyways one would think that since they are willing to cover their hard drives for 5 years, opposed to other manufacturers' 1 or 3 year warrantee, that they would be a little higher quality. What is everyones thoughts on this?

5 sounds like it's better than 3 in anyone's math

That is what I thought. I know from experience that their SCSI drives are awsome but I didn't know about their IDE and SATA drives. I have used over 500 Seagate SCSI drives in computers that I have built for clients and never had to replace a single one.

SCSi tends to be very expensive and I'm not exactly made of cash. I haven't had the privledge to own one, but from what I have seen and tested out on about two computers they are defiantely nice. Once I get some cash over the summer, I'll most likely build a desktop and I'd like to put one in.

Actually for most people the WD Raptors are the way to go. They are SATA so if you have onboard SATA you won't have to buy a controller card. The only downfall is that they are 10K rpm unlike SCSI drives which goes upto 15K rpm...
