Seagate 7200.11 500gb sata

diggiddi · 2nd May 2008, 08:20 AM

Does anyone have experience with this HDD ? I have seen both good and bad reviews so I'm kinda debating on getting it .

Get one. They're pretty good drives and Seagate's warranty is very reliable. If you're still hesitant, go for the Western Digital wd5000aaks. Both of these drives are excellent.

WD5000AAKS gets my vote too.

I am using two of them at the moment, no problem so far.

Never had an issue with Seagate drives here either looks like a solid choice

Check the terms of the warranty for limitations and make sure the company is going to be around for a while. I wouldn't trust a lifetime warranty from XYZ electronics lol

Seagate > all other HD manufacturers. End of story. You will not be disappointed.

Seagate's reliable as far as my personal experience goes, but Western Digital seems to be pretty good too and cost less. Most of their drives have a 3 year warranty.
