## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used with a Playstation 4?**
A: Unfortunately I am unable to answer this question, as I do not own a Sony PlayStation 4.But a quick internet search suggests you need a 2.5 inch (laptop size) hard drive, this is 3.5 inch.You will need to look for drives with 7200rpm specification, which makes the upgrade worth whilefrom the originally supplied 5400rpm hard drive, many are upgrading to Solid State Drives (SSD).Good luck with your upgrade.

**Q: Will this fit 2011 Mac book pro (MBP) Or will i need to by brackets/ accessories to make it fit? Thanks in advance.**
A: No, this is a desktop hard drive (3.5") not a laptop hard drive.  To go into a laptop you probably need a 2.5" HDD.  There are also 2 thicknesses 7mm & 9mm so be careful what you buy as it still may not fit.  Go for 7mm to be on the safe side.

**Q: Is this the three platter version? i.e. 1TB per platter?**
A: Really sorry but I don't often check my emails so hence the delay in my reply .The HDD seems to have started production in 2011 and yes by all that's documented in reviews and what Seagate's own website confirm's it is indeed a 3 x 1 Gig per platter unit . The model description of the unit i have is  " Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001-1CH1CC27" with the CC27 being its current firmware version. here's a 2011 review ;A PDF manual detailing the spec of the unit is available @ http://www.seagate.comThe direct download link is (paste into tour browser search bar ) ; http://www.seagate.com/files/staticfiles/support/docs/manual/desktop/Barracuda%207200.14/100686584.pdfHow i've used the unit ;The unit was installed into my system December 5th 2013  and I have used so far 300 of its available 2794 Gigabyte user capacity..The unit is not recommended for the use i put it too but i've partnered the hard drive   in my Qnap TS412 Nas device in a NON RAID storage arrangement with ;1 x SAN Disk 256 SSD ,1 x Seagate ST2000DL03 ,1 x ST4000DM001 . The only reason the HDD is not recommended for the use i put it too is because of the operational nature of your typical NAS or servers (there are special tuffend unit's available @ tuff prices if you want to pay) .The way a NAS unit works means all the HDD drives CAN running all the time 24/7 ,which gives their "reading" heads a hard time making  them sometimes not last long . My NAS is set that ALL the HDD's should power down after 10 mins 'NO USE'  but because the operating system uses part of the number 1 drive as page memory  this drive usually doesn't ever actually stop ,hence drive 1 in my system is a SSD .The drives run nearly silently and ignoring the capacity of the SSD (which is only for temporary storage and system stuff) I have used the three main drives to give myself a 8.2 Terabytes storage capacity on this four bay unit .

**Q: Very confusing. choose 3tb and specs say ram size 3tb.  hard drive space 120gb. which is it????? how can i buy a drive with a spec that makes no sense**
A: This is a 3,000GB disk UNFORMATTED. It should format smaller than that due to the formatting and the computer reporting in actual GB, not rounded down.

Most HD manufacturers report a kilobyte as 1,000 rather than the actual 1024, resulting in a small drop of capacity.

The person filling in the details obviously got confused, RAM size is 64MB while Hard Drive size should be 3000GB

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Performs as Expected
*by C***S on 3 February 2014*

I've had this drive installed for just over a month and there have been no issues whatsoever. It's been a solid performer and quiet too. Just what I would expect.Before buying it I read a lot of reviews on here and one thing that really frustrates are some of the comments about reliability - not just in relation to Seagate but any brand of hard drive. Reading those reviews it's very easy for readers to fall into a false sense of security thinking they've picked a reliable brand/model and nothing will go wrong (or at least it will be very unlikely).REMEMBER All makes of drive and models of drive are prone to issues and you should never ever trust a drive so much that you store the only copy of your valuable videos, photos and documents on it. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Always assume that the worst and that a drive issue is just around the corner. Store a second copy of those valuable files on a separate drive or use some type of RAID etc. Having purchased this drive the next thing I did was to purchase an external Seagate drive for storing a second copy of my priceless holiday videos.Assume the worst and don't listen to the reliability hype of reviews. You are less likely to go wrong.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hard Drive read only 746GB at first but now fixed. Details in review.
*by A***A on 25 August 2012*

I have had this item for around a week now but only managed to get access to the full 3TB today.I bought this hard drive to put in a USB enclosure for data backup and I met some issues which I though I should share. On first connecting this hard drive via USB, my Windows 7 was only recognizing ~746GB. At first I was concerned the drive was faulty but being a PC techy I suspected it could be down to software/firmware of the caddy (Icy Box) as I have owned this for the last 6 years now. So I started searching the net.It seems that the limitation in storage can be the result of 2 things:1) In case the hard drive is connected via USB - The caddy is a bit old and with the current firmware, the USB-SATA bridge can only access storage of hard disks with ~2.2TB or less.2) In case the hard drive is connected directly in a PC - The Intel's Rapid Storage Technology Driver needs to upgraded 10.1 or newer. Following this link to see how - [...]Not knowing the above 2 scenarios I first updated the driver (as shown in number 2) thinking it would solve my problem. It didn't. Then I found it was due to the fact that I was connecting via USB and not SATA (as shown in number 1). I scoured the internet to find a firmware or driver update to solve my problem but could not find one.When I thought my only option was to buy a newer caddy which would recognize the full 3TB, I noticed my ICY BOX has also a SATA output at the rear together with the USB. So I thought, what would happen if I had to bypass the USB-SATA bridge and connect via SATA directly? So I ordered a SATA to e-SATA cable from amazon so I could connect my caddy via SATA as I was blessed that my laptop has an e-SATA input.I got the cable today and hey presto! As soon as I connected the cable I could access the full 3TB! I was delighted as I did not need to send the hard drive back!Please note that for this option, one would also need to upgrade the Intel's Rapid Storage Technology Driver since now the laptop is recognizing the drive as being connected via SATA and not USB!Unfortunately, if you have tried to connect the drive via an old USB enclosure, met this limitation and could not find a firmware update for your caddy nor have a SATA output from your caddy, then you would need to buy a new enclosure.Sorry for the lengthy review but tried to go in as much detail as possible. Hope this helps someone ease some headaches I went through!With regards to packaging, it was very well wrapped in bubble wrap and 2 carton boxes and was safe crossing the continent to another country. In the meantime I am really happy with my Seagate (my 3rd one now) on the first day and would say it is extremely silent and fast! Hope it stays that way!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice big seagate drive!
*by M***L on 16 June 2013*

Fast delivery, well packed, nice drive and good value for the size and speed and silent well built drive you get?Brought it for a brand new 64 bit verion AMD gaming version of PC which also will be used for 3D design work and media work?Can't tell you how great it is in the new PC as after receiving the new PC it had somewhere in it a fault which stopped me fro using it with this great 3TB drive which I know work ok as:I tested it in my older 32 bit xp home gaming PC and although it only showed up as a drive of 746.5 Gb because the 32 bit system is not upto reading any drive bigger than a 1.5 TB one so I been told? it still only showed as a 746.5 Gb size drive?But I just have to wait for the company which sent me the new 64 bit based AMD gaming PC to pick it up now I re boxed all the parts as they were when I got them?( note here for you buyers > when you buy a item always if possible take photographs of the unpacking steps of the items you got using a digital camera like I do? that way if you need to send it back if it is faulty, you will be able to re-pack it as it came? )Also another tip I tell you byers of tech, if the item works ok, always if you can carefully scan the user manual pages for it on a flatbed scanner into a folder named for it onto your PC and save a copy onto a usb memory pen too for later use in case you loose or damage the original manual?So just wait now for the replacemnt new 64 bit PC and I can use the 3TB drive at last?I recommend this seller totally as a great seller to use?
