Seagate Pipeline HD 500GB Internal 5900RPM 3.5" (ST3500312CS) HDD

Doesn't work...But new replacent does.

I bought this Hard Drive for a Bell 9241 pvr and it doesn't seem to work. After 2 attempts to format the drive the pvr still doesn't "see" it. I put the an identical Seagate Pipeline hard drive ST3500312CS that I bought on Amazon into another Bell 9241 pvr 2 years ago and there were no issues with it. I tested the pvr and there's no problem with it, so the issue seems to be with this HD. Can't get it to format on a computer either. The drive may be "new" but it is still over 10 years old.

Update. So I told the supplier about the dead HD. They said they would ship another free of charge and not worry about sending the defective one back. I received the replacement yesterday and installed it and it works perfectly.
Kudos to this supplier, they will stand behind their productRead full review

Great replacement for an HD DVR

Great replacement for a HD DVR. Other Drives did not fit because of their size (thickness). This one fit perfect and works well. Glad I found this as it is the same make and model.

It is too early to tell

I had some troubles getting this drive set up. I had to watch some utube videos, After 2 days of trouble shooting I got it up & running. I had to disable "Secure Boot" in Security settings of Toshiba Bios & then , I kept shoving the Windows 8.1 Cd into my PC until it kicked in....finally I got it up & running. So Far = So Good.
If you are not so PC savy, You may not want to go with this drive. If you have a Toshiba PC, Buy a new "Toshiba" hard drive, it will set itself up for you.
Bottom LIne,...I learned a lot about trouble shooting, Toshiba hard drives.Read full review

Really great price for a 500GB HDD. Needed something for 24/7 use for a scrap built Windows machine for a Gridcoin and Bitcoin wallet.

Really great price for a 500GB HDD. Needed something for 24/7 use for a scrap built Windows machine. Performance wasn't a concern. Does the job!

Fast And A Little Loud

This is a fast drive and I have pretty good luck with Seagate. I would still stick with western digital though if you want a drive to last nearing 10 years. It's a little louder than other brands but just as good on speeds.Read full review

Seagates always work

The DVR was going out in my Dish network ViP22k Receiver. Bought this one, installed it and it works as intended.
