    5.0 out of 5 stars Seagate 3.5 inch 3TB Barracuda Desktop Hard Drive, 10 May 2012

    What's there to say really? Personal choice of course, but I don't care what anyone says or what I read about Western Digital - I have purchased 8 x Seagate SATA II HDD's (some from Amazon) and all of them are perfect and without issue.

    I read an awful lot about computers having trouble with any HDD size over the limit of 2.2TB's and I have to say I was a little dubious about purchasing my first 3TB drive. *Also note, Seagate are the VERY FIRST manufacturer to develop a 3TB drive that has 1TB each over 3 platters!* Where's WD now eh?

    Anyway, yes I read up about my specific MoBo (Motherboard) and checked if it was capable of formatting/initializing the drive as 'GPT' instead of 'MBR'. Nothing was really conclusive online, so I decided to check around my own system via 'Manage' and found that GPT was an option.

    I took the plunge, bought this drive, installled into my PC, formatted it as GPT instead of MBR and viola - instantly recognised as a 3000GB... Read more

    It arrive before the time stated, easy to install and works fine running at the fast Sata speed. Have used it for my photo and video collections and have had no problem at all.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Seagate 3.5 inch 3TB Barracuda Desktop Hard Drive, 12 Jun 2012
    This review is from: Seagate 3.5 inch 3TB Barracuda Desktop Hard Drive (Accessory)
    Drive is fine once partitioned. I wanted to use this in a Windows 2003 server without too much reconfiguration. There appears to be a way to adding the drive as 3TB, but because of the way my server is configured it looked like I would need to reinstall the operating system. I tried Seagate's partitioning software, but this did not work on Windows 2003. I tried putting the disk in external USB SATA drive housing, but beyond 2.2TB this housing did not work. Eventually I plugged the drive internally within a Windows Vista PC and was able to use Seagate's software to partition the drive. I then plug it the partitioned disk into the Windows 2003 server and it worked fine.
