What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Seagate BarraCuda - 2TB

I have used the Seagate BarraCuda's before with success although they do seem to fail and/or die within 3-4 years of heavy use. I purchased this one along with the Sweetwater CS450 workstation. This drive will mainly be used with the hot swap bay for backing up my other two 2T internal drives in the CS450. Prices on these larger hard drives have dropped in price tremendously over the last 2-3 years and picking up one of these for essentially a spare... is insane. Very happy with the new setup.

2 TB Seagate Drive

First, Sweetwater service is top line. Always helpful, you can actually speak with a real person, and shipping is also usually free, fast, and top line. Well packed in a nice box, and a little treat included to boot! Who could ask for more. Nice to find and deal with a professional company that cares. That's one of the main reasons I chose to deal with them on this item.
A quick note on the hard drive. I've been using both Seagate and Western Digital hard drives for over 35 years now, both SATA and SCSI. I must say that I have had very few hard failures over that time. Recently, I've had two SATA versions in the last 3 months fail critically, both Seagate. Most past versions were either made in Japan, Thailand or Malaysia. Both of these recent failures were made in China. Both had close manufacture dates. Possibly, just a bad run? Or, could be that the China manufactured units are not as good a quality. Diagnostic software from Seagate showed approximately 13,000 hours on one, and 21,000 on another. That is a lot of time, (over 2 years continuous on up time), but MTBF is advertised at 150,000 hours, so real life should be attainable at least for 40k to 50k hours I would think. Anyway, I purchased two of these and will give them a try. The models carried that I purchased were both made in Thailand. We will see.
