Mine has 5.9 with write cache on or off. I have it in a little cage thing with a bunch of other drives so i can't see the label, but I think it's this model - ST3500410AS, and was purchased around Jan 15.

When to expect 2 platter 1TB HDD?
Which is correct? ST31000528AS or ST31000523AS
I have no idea, they should have shipped them by now. I'm starting to think that they might have stopped shipping the the ST3500410AS to fix a firmware issue and then decided to relabel it. It could be that they did the same with the ST31000523AS but did so before it actually got shipped to vendors hence the delay.Originally Posted by onethreehill
I also noticed that the average latency spec got changed on the spec sheet from 4.16 to 4.17, and the Sustained Data Rate says 125mb/s which is down from 160mb/s it says on there site. Also NewEgg has both versions of the 500GB drive but free shipping on the original part number.
My 1TB RE3 begs to differ.
Just some quick checks at win 7 stock.

Pretty impressive transfer numbers mrcape... matches a single Velociraptor in average transfer almost spot on. BUT the high access makes it unfit for anything other than storage or video editing really.
See this scares me since that means there is already 3 different FW revisions for this new drive, CC31 CC33 and now CC34.

Looks like our review is pretty much consistent w/ what everyone else is seeing.
Seagate has us a 1TB review sample en-route and we'll see if there are any differences w/ that drive and the 500GB.
Does anyone know if any of Seagate's desktop drive have a ramp loading mechanism? Does the ES.2?
If you think any manufacturer wouldn't have behaved the same way as Seagate, you're kidding yourself. Deny, deny, deny then silent fix and only annouce when you're fixed is the way of the world sadly.lol good point.
Linux users were the first to report the problem and seagate claimed that it was a Linux problem and that they did not support Linux. Once windows users reported the problem seagate took their time fixing it. Also they've reduced their warranty period from 5 to 3 years. Lately they've had problems with quality control and drive failures. Wanting to sue SSD makers.. etc. I have more reasons to not buy seagate for the time being, but it's not because of one single issue it's because of their attitude of late.
All manufacturers have problems with drive failures. I also keep hearing that every manufacturer is having problems with quality control. Funny that. The warranty reduction is rather annoying, but they've just equalised to most of the other manufacturers (and yes most are 3 years, including WD, as only WDs top = expensive drives are 5 years and actually Seagate's enterprise drives remain 5 years too. Seagate have far fewer SKUs, personally I find WD large number of SKUs confusing and they only have one level for desktop drives. Reality is of course, few people buy WD's top SKUs, they're expensive and not worth it for most. Note that most of the Green Power are not 5 years, it's only the Raid Edition i.e. expensive Green Powers that are.
don't know much about the suing SSD manufacturer bit but I suspect it's a patent issue, sadly an unseemingly thing which most manufacturers engage in.
Personally I've used Seagate almost exclusively for the past few years and had no failures. Of course, it means absolutely nothing as with any random anecdotal reports. Now that Seagate no longer have 5 year warranties, I no longer have a reason to choose Seagate but from what I've seen so far, it's difficult to say any manufacturer is clearly on top at the moment.
I would like to see Seagate's new 1TB tested against one/all of the following
HITACHI 0A38016 1TB 16MB
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB 32MB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000333AS 1TB 32MB

You can call me retarded if you want, but how do you get a 750GB drive when the platter size is supposed to be 500GB each?
Rig 1:
ASUS P8Z77-V
Intel i5 3570K @ 4.75GHz
16GB of Team Xtreme DDR-2666 RAM (11-13-13-35-2T)

Sennheiser PC350 headset w/ hero mod
1 500gb platter + 1/2 500gb platter = ?
2 heads for the first 500GB platter and only one for the second platter. Or they use 500GB and 250GB platters...
i7 2600K @ 4.6GHz/Maximus IV Extreme
2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance 1866

Seagate used three surfaces (on two 500GB platters) for the 750GB drive?
