Optimize the performance of your desktop with this Seagate 2TB internal Serial ATA hard drive that features perpendicular recording technology for reliable file storage and Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for data transfer speeds up to 6 Gbps.

1 out of 51-Year warranty, NOT 5-year, Unreliable

These are all the new 1-year warranty drives, NOT the 5-year warranty drives as the website claims. Not that a warranty means anything when you lose all your data, but the 5-year ones were MUCH more reliable. I wouldn't trust these for anything. Make sure if you buy one and the info online says 5-years, that the box says 5-years. Right on the top of the box it will be labelled. All the ones shipped now are not even the 3-year warranty drives, they say "1-year limited warranty." Run like the wind if they do!

Info is not correct

I have 4 of these drives in operation ( 2 in part of a RAID 5 setup) and THIS particular drive has a 5 yr warranty. Barracudda in particular are mostly 5, a few are 3yr. sure you dont have a Momentus?

my bad Gaiab

I stand corrected. I went yesterday to get two more 2TB to replace a failed WD 1.5Black and discovered that Seagate did indeed change the warranty. ended up with one 3TB Barracuda that still has the 5. I must have gotten some of the last of the 5yr 2 TB drives. my apologies.
