The editors didn't like
Slipped behind in our consumer productivity and gaming traces
OEM packaging does not include any accessories
Does not support hardware based encryption
Price (For Some)
No AES Hardware Encryption (FW Disabled)
Higher power consumption than other current-generation SSDs
Merely modest small-file performance
More overprovisioning may lead to longer drive life
But also means less available storage space
Warranty based on time or usage
Not as fast as Samsung's 840 Pro
Bottom Line
The Seagate 600 is the manufacturer's first consumer solidstate device
And it's a great first effort with some unique features
Limited availability
No SSD toolbox for maintaining the drive.
SSDs with better performance available for the similar price
Not as fast as other high-end drives (which are more expensive

Good speeds, Decent price (although Crucial drive is cheaper)
Bad timing with Crucial's latest drives undercutting these
It's good to finally see another major player in the storage sector enter the bear pit that is the consumer SSD market - and Seagate's 600 series looks pretty damn good from the off.The only problem is Crucial has launched its M500 series at the same time...
