Need some feedback here on Seagate Barracuda LP HD 2TB Drive
 

Anyone using these?
Give me your feedback on reliability please....preferable from the few of you that put these drives under HUGE pressure like encoding, rendering or other massive processing.

I thinking about swapping our 1,5TB drives in one of our NAS setups but being a bit careful!

Looks like the Hitachi 2TB version is a LOT faster!

I have a barracuda in my pants

Really, no one huh?

I'd go with the Hitachi over the Seagate if I were you.

Yeah i see that they are much faster, about 10x faster actually.
I need to find out if they are reliable though.

You used either of these yet?

i dont know about that particular model.. but i alway was told by my tech gurus seagate is the best.... only to find the only HDD that has complety failed on me was a Seagate... maybe a freak incident but I now avoid them.. just sayin'!

I think we have killed 2-3 of them in the last 3 years but bought them by the hundreds so my stats are great....

However models vary and I?m very very careful when new ones come out.
Especially as i need to buy 10 of them at once minimum to fill one NAS system....if they suck I?m out 2-3,5K ouch

The seagate 2tb drives are slow compared to the WD 2tb drives.

I'm all western digital here
