Ideal for use with desktop performance towers, all-in-one computers, consumer-grade NAS devices or desktop RAID arrays, this Seagate internal hard drive features a 1TB capacity, so you can store plenty of digital files.

RUN AWAY FROM THIS DRIVE

I purchased a "ST310005N1A1AS-RK" Drive from Best Buy on 1/5/09 I'm not sure of the drive model now but it was something like ST31000333(or 340)AS . In October it started making a constant clicking and Blue Screened any computer it was put in. Best Buy exchanged it on 10/13/09. The next one lasted an amazing 84 days be fore it did the same thing. Onece again Best Buy exchanged it, but this time it had to be ordered. I installed the drive. Now (about 7 months Later) it has 926GB worth of data on it and is once again making the same continuous clicking noise. I am currently trying to free up drive space on other drives to dump my data to for the last time, I'm going to try to get my mony back and buy another brand, maybe even a smaller drive. I havent decided.
Drive 1: Purchase online 1/4/09 picked up 1/5/09 Retail Kit #: ST310005N1A1AS Lifetime: 10months 8days
Drive 2: Exchanged from Drive 1 on 10/13/09 Series: 7200.12 Drive M/N: ST31000528AS Firmware Version: CC34 Lifetime: 84days
Drive 3: Exchanged in January 2010 Series: 7200.12 Drive M/N: ST31000528AS Firmware Version: CC38 Lifetime: about 7 months
I used to be a huge Seagate fan but now I am extremely disappointed.
What's great about it: great capacity
What's not so great: Extremely High Failure Rate
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
