    Had nothing but problems with the 1TB version of this drive. RMA'ed one that kept randomly hanging windows and got a replacement that becomes unbootable every once in awhile due to bad sectors. You get what you pay for, apparently.

    Funny, I've had just the opposite experience. Own several of these series drives from Seagate... use them a lot and fairly hard, and no problems whatsoever over the last 6-9 months. Seems like a good price to me.

    ... $31 in MIR & CB. Both CB & MIRs give me a rash. This is a better deal.
