Customer Review: Loud HD
Summary: 2 Stars
When running vista this thing grinds away so much you will need to turn up the TV just to hear it over the idol computer.
I ended up buying a western digital again. Now my computer is so quiet I cannot hear it run. The guy at Fry's said western digital was going down in quality as an excuse why they don't stock it anymore. All I really care about is being able to keep my sanity by stopping the grinding.
Customer Review: A little more effort than expected, but works.

I installed the Seagate 500Gb SATA using Windows XP Pro x64. Installing the hardware was easy enough as all cables were included. The XP installer didn't recognize the drive, so I added an older 80Gb ATA drive and installed XP on that. From there, I ran the Seagate installer disc, and voila, the Seagate drive showed up. I'm still putting my new system through its paces, so we'll see how it fares as I add software.Customer Review: great Hard Drive

The Sata Hard drive is one of the easiest to install. First I made backups of my original hard drive and burned it to DVD. Then simply installed the new 500GB Seagate hard drive. On bootup it ask for a start up disk I loaded the backup disk which reinstalled my Windows Vista Pro and all the drivers for my computer. The results is a much larger hard drive which works much better than the factory hard drive.Customer Review: Purchased two, both died.

I bought one from Frys in Feb 2009 and thought it was such a good deal that I went back the next day and bought another. The first drive started acting up after a couple months use and then died shortly thereafter. So I installed the second drive (about a year ago). Recently it started crashing and finally died. I will probably send them in on warranty, but I'm kind of wondering if it's worth the trouble.Customer Review: quiet and fast 500 gb hd
Summary: 4 Stars
have not used a seagate hd in many years, when i bought one to test a new system build.
i was real surprized on how quiet these drives are, and there are fast when you remember to remove the 150 gb limit jumper.
normaly i use wd raptor hard drives but decided to try somthing different
so i have 4 of these st3500641as hd in a raid 0 and very pleased with the speed of these drives.
