4.0 out of five stars Great Drive, Great Performance, But..Watch out.., March 26, 2011
By ShopperGuy1234 “ShopperGuy1234″ (Virginia Beach, VA) See all my reviews This review is from: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch interior Bare Drive ST2000DL003 (Personal Computers) In my server, I have six 2TB drives installed, in three sets of RAID one configuration. I wanted to replace two of the old drives with the ones.
I bought and installed and now noticed that on Power ON, it could take not many seconds for my Server to reach POST screen, which is surprising. I have 850W power supply, and two video cards, but still have lots of spare power capacity left.
So I disconnected these two new drives, and guess what, system now comes to POST on power up.
I did many research and found that this model drives draws more power on start up. Once started, they behave nicely, just the initial power ON current draw is higher than other drives. Long story short, I swapped the drives from my NAS enclosure to my server and installed these two drives in my NAS.

PROS:
1) whopping 64MB cache..!!!!
2) Fast SATA 6Gb/s interface
3) Sustained high data move rate, (recreating RAID was much faster on these drives)
4) Light weight since it has only three platters
5) Runs cool, with sustained data in/out operation
6) calm, when transferring, reading/writing data
7) Cheap

CONS:
1) Higher start up current draw
2) 4K sector size, which may or may not be a problem for you, based on your application, OS etc.
3) Only three year warranty

5.0 out of five stars great, fast, calm, February 12, 2011
By AP See all my reviews () This review is from: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch interior Bare Drive ST2000DL003 (Personal Computers) I bought four of these to replace four 500gb SATA two drives by the same maker in a Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ machine. While I can not attest to the new SATA three (6 gb/sec) speeds (the ReadyNAS is SATA 2), the new firmware from Netgear obliged me to do a factory reset on the device, and upon boot it recognized the new 4k format being used by this drive. After the drives were striped and the volume redundant, I was able to copy about a terabyte of data off my local machine in about twelve hours (with breaks in between).

The new drives run cooler than the old 500′s, are surprisingly calm, and fast so far I am quite impressed with their performance (especially with the 64mb cache). While I have not seen their long term viability still, I am pleasantly surprised by how well they work.

Bjorn3d has a good review of the drive here:

2.0 out of five stars Caution on Seagate drives lifespan, September 18, 2011
By Mark James See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch interior Bare Drive ST2000DL003 (Personal Computers) I have bought/sold Seagate drives for 25 years. I have suggested Seagate for most of those years. I’m in the storage business and have many of direct experience with drives.

The problem I’m discovering is a largely reduced dependability in Seagate 1.5 and 2TB disks. I now have about a dozen 2TB Seagates in active use. Seven of them are beginning to fail, in under 4,000 hours of use. They are disks which were burned in by certifying them for about three 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 using over 100,000 disks some years back. Google found statistical differences in failure rates between manufacturers, that they didn’t publish. They also noted that “enterprise” drives didn’t result in longer lifespans. They found NO correlation between heavy responsibility or light responsibility use in failure. What Google did report was that a few of SMART parameters may be used to predict drives that could soon fail. Among they are reallocated sectors. Once a drive begins reallocating, they usually fail inside six months or less. There are SMART utilities which are starting to implement this knowledge and alerting users to predicted failures.

For a long time, Seagate was the premium brand of hard drives, with Hitachi. They may still be. But, this failure rate on the 1.5 and 2TB drives, also to the big firmware flaw on the 1.5TB drives (Many customers lost data on the 1.5TB drives, where drives failed from a firmware flaw), makes me cautious on Seagate now.

I am recommending Hitachi for now, they’ll cost a bit more, but till more data is in, be alert if Seagates are installed and possibly avoid them in servers and mission important installations. I dont have data still on the 3TB drives.
