Seagate good or bad?

Iv had good experiances with them, nice and reliable, I am running 1x80gig 2mb cache and 1x120gig 8meg cache, both run great.
 
Seagates are a great drive. They're not the fastest drives generally, but they are very reliable and quiet. They're the only IDE/ATA drives that I use personally.
 
I have two of the SATA 120 gig 8 meg cache drives from Seagate and I can say that they're incredibly quiet and have been running just fine for the 6 and 9 months I've had both of them. Generally, Seagate has been a manufacturer that builds quiet drives that don't always perform the best. With the SATA drives from them the first generation weren't that fast, but they were the first out there. Then all the other manufacturers jumped in and built their models. Seagate came out with a 2nd model of SATA and they perform pretty much head and head with the other SATA's today.

Overall, good drives, quiet, and they perform well.
 
agreed, Seagate makes great drives. i'm running 3 right now(60GB Cuda IV, 200GB 7200.7, and a 36GB 15k.3), and i've never had a hiccup.
 
I've found seagate drives to be the highest overall quality over the years. Second is WD, and maxtor comes in third because of some problems in the past. I have to say that these days, it seems that your plain vanilla ATA100 drives are very reliable no matter who you go with.
 
I'm running a Seagate SATA 160 gig drive, and it's louder than my WD 80 gig drive...

It's running perfectly fine though, no complaints.
 
Not sure if you mean ATA or SCSI drives, so I'll chime in anyway.

I've had the pleasure of working with many, many, many SCSI drives in very stressfull situations (on the order of several hundreds of drives in the past couple years), and Seagate drives have definitely been the most reliable and standards compliant drives I have worked with.
