HELLO GUYS, thinking of returning the drive and getting an alternative model of 1tb in seagate - reason being :
http://www.techenclave.com/storage-...lure-model-178659.html?highlight=#post1650917

Please suggest. In Chennai only the above model is sold it seems. So should i go back to the 500gb one ? . I am very worried and afraid now that i will lose data in the near future..

So shall i return the drive ?. It has been 24 hrs since i bought the drive.. Dont know if the dealer will give me another drive or not, but even if he is willing to, which one i have to get ?. Absolutely no idea in getting WD as it suffers from high failure rates...

PLz help. This drives me crazy guys....
 
ST31000528AS is sold not only in Chennai. i bought it from Bangalore last year and is working perfectly. it is actually one of best performing 1tb from seagate, 2 platter one. don't know about the recently sold ones.
 
Finally bought the 500gb one :ashamed:... The shopkeeper was kind enough to refund the balance amount, however he charged a little high for the 500gb. Anyway it doesnt matter..

Guys, its very difficult to make up my mind to go for other brands... The reason is WD - totally unreliable, SAMSUNG and HITACHI unknown about ASS and quality... Seagate hdds have served me well for more than a decade..

Actually we are going to setup surveillance system in our shop and a 500gb hdd is required for the DVR for recording.. So i decided to throw my old 500gb hdd into the DVR and get a new 1TB. When my father called up and told about the requirement i was very happy. I had been waiting for about 6 months to replace this drive and thought that this is the right time.. But things dint go fine as i thought :no:

Now this HDD is for the DVR.

Guys i am worried now :(. Got the drive with great expectation that it will do wonders since it has 32MB cache , double platter and the double capacity, but to my shock it only performs blunders....

Shame on you SEAGATE :@
