Quality

Always well made and backed up by very good warranty staff

Great drive to replace old nas drives, they have been working perfectly.

After they are tested, we wipe them down with a paper towel to rid them of dust/debris.

Price

I did give it 4 stars only because at this price above $200, it's just a bare drive.

I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to upgrade their time capsule instead of spending $499 for a new one from apple

I paid 169 a piece in january 2011 and now i want to buy 2 more and cant find a price close to that.

99 a few months ago and now the price has skyrocketed!

Shipping

Arrived within expected time, well packaged, and worked quite well.

The drive came very fast and in perfect condition in a clam shell style case.

I shipped it to seagate and they shipped me a new one.

There was a delay/possible mix-up in delivery but when i notified the seller it was cleared up right away.

Packaging/appearance

It will come in regular box, with paper, and inside a static bag with a none manufacturer label.

The only thing i want you to be aware is to not expect the item to come in the original manufacturer's packaging.

Competitiveness

I run heavy graphics i have a evga geforce gtx 580 gaming card; and seagate barracuda xt is definitely the best companion.

If you need this sized hard drive then by all means consider seagate.

I do own around 40 seagate 1 tb drives and at least 20 seagate 2 tb drives.

Maybe it's because i like to get quiet hds, but even when compared to a regular hd, it was a bit noisy.
