Buyer Evaluations
I have purchased/sold Seagate drives for 25 years. I have recommended Seagate for most of these years. I am in the storage home business and have a lot of direct experience with drives.
The dilemma I am discovering is a significantly reduced reliability in Seagate 1.five and 2TB disks. I at present have about a dozen 2TB Seagates in active use. 7 of them are starting to fail, in below 4,000 hours of use. These are disks which were burned in by certifying them for about 3 days with an intensive read/write pattern, to eliminate early failure disks. In the general disk population, I have also seen a high failure rate. This is unacceptable.
Google performed a study making use of over 100,000 disks a couple of years back. Google identified statistical differences in failure rates in between producers, that they did not publish. They also noted that "enterprise" drives did not outcome in longer lifespans. They found NO correlation among heavy duty or light duty use in failure. What Google did report was that a handful of Smart parameters could be utilized to predict drives that would soon fail. Among these are reallocated sectors. Once a drive begins reallocating, they commonly fail inside 6 months or much less. There are Intelligent utilities which are beginning to implement this understanding and alerting users to predicted failures.
For a long time, Seagate was the premium brand of hard drives, along with Hitachi. They will probably nonetheless be. Having said that, this failure rate on the 1.five and 2TB drives, in addition to the key firmware flaw on the 1.5TB drives (Many shoppers lost information on the 1.5TB drives, where drives suddenly failed from a firmware flaw), makes me incredibly cautious on Seagate now.
I am recommending Hitachi for now, they will expense a little even more, but until even more information is in, be alert if Seagates are installed and perhaps avoid them in servers and mission essential installations. I have no data but on the 3TB drives.
I bought four of these to replace four 500gb SATA two drives by the same manufacturer in a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ machine. When I cannot attest to the new SATA 3 (6 gb/sec) speeds (the ReadyNAS is SATA two), the new firmware from Netgear needed me to do a factory reset on the device, and upon boot it recognized the new 4k format becoming made use of by this drive. After the drives had been striped and the volume redundant, I was able to copy about a terabyte of data off my local machine in about 12 hours (with breaks in amongst).
The new drives run cooler than the old 500's, are amazingly quiet, and fast-- so far I am pretty impressed with their efficiency (specifically with the 64mb cache). Although I haven't seen their long-term viability but, I am pleasantly surprised by how nicely they operate.
Bjorn3d has a good assessment of the drive here:
