Product Description Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200RPM SATA3/SATA 6.0 GB/s 64MB Hard Drive (3.5 inch) From the Manufacturer The Seagate Desktop HDD is the one hard drive for all your desktop applications.

Review: ALL WORK LIKE A CHAMP WITH MY SETUP - This hard drive works like a champ with my setup. NO glitches. It's a BARE drive so no manual, no screws for install and no software. Really, all you need are screws or a screwless bay. So save the money and get a bare drive and download whatever drivers or Seagate software you need before installing. This starts up anyway using Win 7 drivers. To Partition and Format the drive: Use Windows 7 Control Panel > Administration > Computer Management > Disk Management Utility to Partition and Format as you want. Instructions for partitioning/formatting are all over the web, but I use the ones from Windows Knowledge base on the Microsoft Website. Very clear. Also -- using the cache for performance settings. At the recommendation of others, I did a full format (vs quick format) after partitioning - no errors / bad sectors on any of the drives. This takes a LOT longer with 1TB and 2TB drives than the quick format option, but it thoroughly checks the drives so you know what you've got (or not got) up front. Figure a couple hours for 2TB drives or thereabouts. Before purchasing any of the Hard Drives for my new build, I thoroughly read all the reviews. This is the third of 3 Seagate 3.5" Bare Drives I've installed in my HAF X case. The Other Two are Seagate Barracuda "XT's" -- 2TB. All work great. While I "wanted" solid state drives, they are not practical from a cost standpoint for me because I do Video Editing and need so much hard drive space. Even 3TB isn't near enough yet. I decided to stick with one vendor -- and it was Seagate vs Western Digital for the internal hard drives for performance and reliability reasons, and because of the warranty periods. I've had both types of internal drives in the past. Only the Western Digital gave out, but that was also after a long time and heavy use. Not intended as a slam. Both brands are probably fine. Still the Barracuda XT's especially outperform the WD Caviar Blacks for the type of programs I run. I have installed and briefly read through all the Seagate software, but have taken it (and all other bloatware & unnecessary starup files) out of my startup sequence, which makes for very fast POST and Windows bootup of ~ 8 seconds on my Asus P8Z68-VPRO/Gen 3 motherboard/I72600K CPU. (That boot time is off the Seagate 2TB Barracuda XT boot drive with 64MB cache with NO overclocking.) Still, may use re-enable Seagate Tools software for backups vs Win7 and some of the other features that software offers. Very pleased so far with performance, speed, temps of these drives, and they are NOT noisy at all. In fact, very quiet. Last -- this 1TB drive is for a 6.0Gb/s SATA port, but just FYI -- it's backwards compatible with 3.0 Gb/s SATA ports and cables. I installed this drive on a 3.0 Gb/s SATA port using a 6.0Gb/s cable (only kind of SATA data cable I purchased) and it works just fine. That 3.0 Gb/s SATA "port speed" is really faster anyway than what any spinning hard drive can accomplish anyway and I've already used my two Z68 6.0 Gb/s SATA ports for the 2TB Barracuda XT's. Avoided using the Marvel 6.0 Gb/s controller SATA ports on the Mobo. Using the Z68 SATA ports instead -- too many people having problems with using both controllers at the same time, especially if they have a RAID setup (I don't). 3.0Gb/s connection is fast enough for now but by purchasing the 6.0Gb/s drives, may have some future capability compatibility at a minimum markup now.
Review: Solid Drive - Easy to install right out of the box. Plug and Play, was recognized right away. haven't had any problems in the time I've had this drive in operation. Very pleased so far. Seagate was the going drive even in the early 1980's. Long before Western Digital came along. I prefer Seagate over WD because of their long years of experience with Hard Drives and reliability. I have had too many WD drive fail on me. Fast Writes & Reads (176mb/184mb) - 2X1TB Raid 0 Performance (340mb/380mb) - Affordable - Reliable Brand Other Thoughts: Very impressed with the performance of this drives. It's amazing how much hard drives have improved over the years. I ran this on Raid 0 on a Mac Pro with a SATA II Interface and was surprised at the read and write performance. Now obviously an SSD is still going to be faster in many respects, but I honesty, I'm super happy I chose this over an SSD simply because of the storage space. I've owned an SSD, just so everyone knows. So I'm aware of the amazing speeds, but for those who are price conscious and need more storage this is a great alternative.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is bare drive?**
A: I am sorry if I didn't get your question correctly but If you mean what does "bare drive" mean, in means that it's the drive only. You have to put it in your PC Case and connect the cables. bare drive vs. external drives which come with a case and you connect them usually through a USB cable. If you mean the capacity I got the 2 gig version = 1.8 gb

**Q: Do these come with SATA III cables to connect to your motherboard or do you have to purchase those separately?**
A: **Note** There is no distinction between SATA I/II/III cables. Any SATA cable (quality, not junk) will work with all 3 standards, just as fast: http://www.serialata.org/documents/SATA-6Gbs-Fast-Just-Got-Faster.pdf

**Q: how do you get it to boot or install a OS on it when it says**
A: With the drive installed and a SATA line plugged in along with the power connector you then turn the power on.  As the machine powers up you will be given the opportunity to get into the BIO's by hitting the DEL key.  Once there make sure that the drive is recognized by the BIO's and that you have made the changes to date and time and that you DVD/CD player/recorder is recognized.  Place your WINDOWS or LINEX operating system disk in your DVD/CD then follow the directions.  The operating system disk will format your hard drive.  PS don't forget to set the BOOT order so that your system will boot off of the DVD/CD drive.  Set your hard drive as second boot device.  Once the operating system is installed power down and then back up so that you can reset the hard drive to 1st device to boot from and the DVD/CD to 2nd boot device.

**Q: It's pictured without a cover to somewhat seal the hard drive discs. Does it come with the cover?**
A: The hard drives arrive fully enclosed and ready to use. Not sure why the photo is posted the way it is, however you will have no issues.Hope this helps.
