[mythtv-users] Seagate 1.5TB for 109.99

[Dean Collins]

Not the same as MythTV BUT.......


I use 7 of these drives in my Thecus N7700
http://deancollinsblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/thecus-n7700.html 


Firmware upgrades HAVE NOT FIXED ALL MY PROBLEMS, including having to
ship back 4 drives to Seagate that were less than 30 days old and they
ship me back 'reconditioned units'.

If you have to then go ahead but if you don't have to then stay away
from Seagate for now until they really fix these problems.

The issues were about the firmware on the drives at the time. AFAIK all
of those issues have been fixed. The only concern you might have is if
you get a drive that has been sitting on the shelf and hasn't been
updated yet. You can just check when you get the drive.

I don't have the 1.5TB drives, but the 1TB drives are doing just fine
for me.

Have fun!
