| Author: gstboy "trying to be unb.. | The first one I received started to develop a click and chirp noise along with freezing my laptop basically from the moment I installed it. If it didn't chirp then it worked great. I didn't even have it as my boot drive just had a few gigs on it before it became virtually unusable. Seagate diagnostics showed the disk as defective.Returned that one and the second one worked great for a couple of weeks when it started to develop the same chirping and clicking sound as the first one. Ran the diagnostics again and showed up as a failed drive as well.Not going to chance a third one but judging from the good reviews on here this does not happen often. | 25 | |

| Author: Kevin Edwards - See all.. | This is noticeably faster than the 500GB version. I really wanted 1TB, but 750GB will do for now. I have it in a MBP 15" with a second 1TB hard drive in my optical bay.Seagate had some problems with their 500GB hybrids, but seemed to get the issues worked out with new firmware (I never had a problem with mine). I haven't experienced any issues with the new 750GB either, but it will take time before I can comment on the reliability long term. I check my drives weekly for data corruption, and so far have found none, nor has there been stalling or other issues.Did I mention this drive was fast? | 198 | |
