Seagate 7200.12 1TB Availability

HailStonE · #1 (**permalink**) 3 Jul 09, 04:35 PM

I am looking for Seagate 7200.12 1TB HDD (Model ST31000528AS).. All I can find is older 7200.11 (Model ST31000333AS)... Even though its older but not a single review of this HDD on the net...

Can someone confirm if the latest 7200.12 1TB has come back in stock or not. It was launched some 4 months ago but not available here...

Yeah same here..... I was supposed to buy it 1 1/2 months back, searched like crazy for it, but I was able to get 7200.12 only in 500 GB so I have to settle for 7200.11, though other option was WD caviar Green (EADS) but I preferrred Seagate!!!

Hailstone the older 7200.11 model ST31000333AS is somewhat uncommon.
Its a 3 Platter drive. I bought the same a few months ago. Its runs awsome.

Go for it

Does it heat up... I've few 7200.11 500GB (No firmware issue)... using them on my Vantec HDD dock & they heat up quite a lot... While in reviews Seagate's new 7200.12 1TB was really cool & quite too...

Seagate has again moved back to 5 years warranty & 500GB/ platter gives some edge to it.. though access times are pathetic on them...

My ST31000333AS runs at about 38-43*C Range. If you can't find 7200.12 then go for 7200.11 na.

It won't melt but I am scared the dock could with its flimsy plastics... 7200.12 is tested... So preferred... By the way the model you have performs only slightly lower but better than Caviar Black...

@hunt3r... Yepp mate I too confirmed this, its now available...

I just bought 6 of them last week. In fact he didn't even have anything else. He had only the 528AS drives.

The 7200.11 drives have a firmware bug which causes them to randomly brick. They just disappear from BIOS and won't detect again.
