Mostly happy users with the occasional problem. I've checked reviews for other brands, hoping they would be slightly better, but they all have a similar story. Had no more problems with the 4 good drives, but the one that died after one backup doesn't look recoverable. If I have trouble with these too I'll post a revision to this review but right now the experience hasn't been good. I'm going to buy some more drives and I'll try a different brand.
#Seagate 2tb internal hard drive amazon upgrade#
It's always possible that something else caused these problems, not the drives themselves, but prior to the upgrade we were using Seagate 320GB drives with no problems at all (other than we ran out of space and needed bigger drives, hence the upgrade). We use these drives in a removeable caddy system called Idealstor. One of the other drives completed a backup but lost it's drive letter afterwards, so I had to reallocate - seems OK now. I've replaced dozens of hard drives over the years and this is the first one that failed on first use.

It has no drive letter and Windows isn't allowing me to do anything with it, like start again as if it was a fresh drive.ĭue to the fact that data was written to the drive before it failed I'm reluctant to return it for a refund so I'm going to write it off and buy another. The drive is visible but reported as unreadable. One of the drives failed on it's first backup and I can't do anything with it in Windows Disk Management. I got 5 of these drives to upgrade capacity on overnight backups. "Upgrade to 500GB drives - had problems"
