Seagate ST310005N1A1AS-RK 1TB Internal 3.5-Inch SATA 32MB Cache Hard Drive

This is my second electronics product from Amazon that was packed loose in the box.
Unfortunately Amazon completely ignored the fact that this product is very sensitive to shock and packed it with just a touch of packing material. The product was loose in the box, bobbing all over.
For now I have gingerly installed the drive, but if it fails it will be Amazon’s sloppy handling.
Mind you I pay Amazon for prime membership and related handling fees.
I strongly urge people to stay away from ordering electronics product from Amazon. They are apparently trying to save some money by skipping the packing material. It will increase the likelihood that your electronics products will FAIL MORE EASILY and MORE OFTEN.
Do not Buy Electronics from Amazon !!!
I guess this was some sort of problem from the manufacturer. Really weird. I open the box and I saw all the cables and labels for a SATA disk. But it was really an PATA. The most strange thing was that the Hard Drive label said that it was a SATA drive, but the ports were PATA for sure. I can’t really tell you if the disk is good or bad, but never in my life I’ve seen this. I return the item and bought another brand to make sure it won’t happen again. I must say that this is not amazons fault, but the manufacturers. I’m waiting for my refund as we speak.
Runs too hot to use in the Popcorn Hour Media Tank I bought it for but is good for bulk storage in my main PC.
Just a little over 3 weeks old and it died. Seagate’s poor overseas tech support, of no help, they offer to send a `refurbished’ drive (a used one) to replace what I purchased NEW. Called Seagate Corporate, no help, selecting numbers to more automated script recorded voices. No option to get to a real person or a operator. Good bye Seagate, poor service, poor drive. Save your money. Run from this company.
I bought two of these Seagate SATA 1TB internal hard drives a couple of months ago, still wondering if they would deliver the performance I expected. I am so happy I did! I teamed them up as a RAID 1 configuration. They are whisper-quiet, do not generate extra heat and keep my data safe. I did not have any problem installing them in my computer. I did not have to update their firmware, because it was already factory updated. These babies are fast enough for what I needed, probably even a little faster that that. I would wholeheartedly recommend these hard drives to anyone looking for tons of reliable storage and reasonable speed.
