So does this drive come labeled as a samsung drive or seagate--I know seagate absorbed some of samsungs business other than the SSD stuff--just curious what is being shipped out. Thanks in advance!

The one I bought for my sister 18 months ago shipped with a Seagate part number but with the Samsung part number included in its description (and carried a Samsung firmware ID). I think I've seen it advertized since without mentioning the Seagate part number but unless there were some left-overs from the good old Samsung days suspect these were also actually Seagate drives (though I've never seen any indication that the DESIGN was not still Samsung's).

Two 750gb hard drives, note that Samsung's customer service is pretty lacking. I tried for weeks to inform them that I couldn't get my WIDI to hook up with the comp. It turns out that the computer does not have this capability. Never had it, never will. after a couple months they were nice enough to inform me that I was correct. thanks.....

I made the misstake of ordering a regular hard drive before i knew there was a differnce but here is a link to one i just found right here on Amazon Seagate SV35 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6-Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Drive for Video Surveillance ST3000VX000

The device I bought was from LaCie, which is currently at the Seagate lab right now because they're attempting to recover my data. I don't know if LaCie's a part of Seagate or not. I'm assuming it is. I wish I could tell you more.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I had a drive cloned *for* me. I suggest you contact Seagate. They're awesome.

I found that the drives are several years old. I bought a bunch of them (10+) it was a mistake. I tried to get warranty from WD and they did not honor the 5 year warranty and in fact when I returned the drive, they claimed it wasn't manufactured by them. I ended up returning the drive to the seller for a replacement. Don't count on the 5 year warranty, better yet buy it from another manufacturer. I've had too many failures of WD drives in the last year or two. I have switched to Seagate.

They put old used drives in these. So it's potluck if you get one that actually works, or will last long. When I opened mine up (I bought 2) they both had drives from 2007 in them. I bought these as new at full price. If I wanted a well used 2007 drive I could have got one for almost nothing.

Mine was just a drive in a box. However, Seagate drivers are online with good support, especially Seagate Tools, which is why I prefer this brand.

What do you mean "digital"? I'm assuming you meant solid state. No, this is not an SSD. As you can see in the image, this drive has platters.

Sorry for the late reply - I have been travelling. The drive was described as a Seagate ST33000650NS. The supplier phoned and asked if it was OK to provide an HP branded equivalent MB33000EBKAB. I accepted. The part arrived - was brand new. The label had BOTH part numbers on it - so I was happy. If you check the Seagate site you will find that the drive is an ES.2 not an ES.3. Main difference is the amount of cache. ES.2 has 64MB and ES.3 has 128MB. The description was accurate, the title should not have referenced ES3. I am happy anyway - great drive.

I did install SSD drive in mac book, to replace old drive, using duplicator/recovery machine to copy the drive. I would pick any other slim drive, and avoid the Seagate. The Seagate is NOT Compatible with most systems.

Here is what I had to do. Format the SSD, so it will be recognized as a drive with a new drive letter. Don' forget, cloning will bring over your present operating system as well, so upgrade it first, if you want a new one.Both Samsung and Seagate have included software. Be sure only to use USB 2.0. bE ADVISED IF YOU HAVE A FAIRLY NEW MB, CONTACT THE MB Co. which SATA CONNECTIONS (PORTS) TO USE. SOME ARE TOO SLOW.

Thank you. I had the same question. When I bought it, I found it came with an enclosure. I don't understand why both WD and Seagate show multiple pictures of the drive opened up. It confuses the buyer, as what you receive is a sealed drive, not an open case. If the case is left open the disk can be damaged very easily. I believe they are actually sealed in a clean room. But many people do not know that, and it does not excuse the poor presentation of this product.

Newegg says 3 years parts/labor. After searching for an hour I couldn't find this on Seagate's website. You'd think they'd be bragging about it on billboards since practically everyone else is down to 1 year (and wouldn't surprise me if they all got rid of a warranty altogether and made people buy at their own wallet's peril).

The Seagate Constellation ES2 3TB drives I picked up are model ST33000650NS. They were all brand NEW with the 5 YR warranty. All SATA3 6Gb/s 64MB Cache.

This drive seems to come into stock and sell out quickly. I waited months to order mine last week. TigerDirect dot com is where I purchased mine. They apprear to still be in stock, and there's a $15 rebate. I received mine in just a few days. Good luck!
