Burn-in suggested

Strengths: 5 Year Warranty from Seagate

Weakness: Have to use Warranty....

Crashed within 3 weeks of purchase. Good thing I backup my laptop. Without the 5 Year Warranty from Seagate I would really give this a bad rating.

Seagate 160GB Ultra ATA 5400.3 HD

Strengths: Quiet, good capacity.

Weakness: Surprised that 10GB was lost to formatting.

Replaced my 60GB drive in a 3 year old PowerBook. It is a little speedier than my original drive in booting applications. For example, when booting Virtual PC it took about one third less time.

Performance

I installed it on my Dell Inspiron 9100 & it really works very fast. You get only 149gb effectively, after formatting. 11gb drop is too much. Seek time is higher than 120gb 5400rpm drive.

Momentus 5400.3 160GB Hard Drive (Ultra ATA-100,...

Strengths: It fits in my G4 laptop.

Weakness: Slow,error prone, catastrophic crashes.

This drive has had 5 total crashes in one year where it corrupts itself, then cant be found. Seagates return policy means you have tear your laptop apart and leave it and (in my ibooks case with 50 micro screws) sitting there for weeks until you get a replacement back that will be as badly made. Other drive companies like Western Digital will send the drive out so you can replace it as you remove...

Faulty Hard Drive

Strengths: quiet and fast

Weakness: doesn't last as long as my older/smaller hard drives.

used this Hard drive for 6 months and when I was in the middle of installing hardware, it died. Not recognized in the BIOS. That is very dead and no warning given. Any recalls? I put my older harddrive back into the system and works fine. Seagate won't talk to me because it is OEM. OEM says to contact Seagate. Now I am stuck buying a new hard drive.
