Seagate - Barracuda 2TB
This Seagate - Barracuda 2TB was not only in stock, But also it was priced like it should be. Platter drives are basically out do to solid state and M2 drives. But, DVR's do not take advantage of current drives so why spend extra.

New Seagate 2tb HDD for win 11 install.
Bought a new Seagate 2tb HDD to do a clean install of win 11. Just a general purpose home use desktop. I let win 11 do the formatting and partitioning. Everything went smoothly. This HDD is faster and quieter than the western digital one that it replaced. Good price and good product.

Excellent value and performance in a 2TB SATA driv
When my trusty Dell desktop started making strange noises and then wouldn't start, I realized that the original 1.5TB Seagate hard drive was failing. Best Buy offered this Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive at a great price, so I decided to take advantage and order it. It arrived in a few days, and I am happy to report that the drive has been working flawlessly. I did a clean install of Windows 10 and then reinstalled everything else, and despite the time and effort involved, everything went well. The drive is quiet and fast and has all the space I could ever need on this particular computer. I highly recommend this Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive!
