Fast and Quiet
This drive is not only quieter than Western Digital drives (as usual), but it is very fast for a HDD. This 2 TB drive is composed of just a single platter inside with 1 TB on each face. This means there's less physical area that the data is spread-out over, so seek times will be quicker than drives with multiple platters. I upgraded an older Seagate BarraCuda C: drive from years ago. Booting up Windows 10 on a Dell XPS takes just a fraction of the time it used to. The 256 MB buffer size is great for Windows/system drives that retrieve OS information regularly, making certain applications load much more quickly. With a decent desktop computer, this drive isn't all that much slower than an SSD... not to mention hard drives inherently hold data for much longer (in my experience, lightly used hard drives last far longer than flash storage, which degrades in a few years). Whether you're building a new rig or just upgrading old components, I highly recommend this drive. NOTE: 1. This drive's model number is ST2000DM008, not ...DMA08, if you want to look up the datasheet online. 2. Be sure the drive is formatted as a GPT disk (not MBR) if you plan on using this as your new C: drive (or boot drive).

Excellent Way To Expand Storage Easily
2TB of extra-fast SATA storage for a half-Benjamin? Yes please! I would have bought another if my system would support it! No issues, just had to look up online how to format for Windows 11 (last time I did this was on Windows XP!). Loads games and programs supe-fast and without generating excessive heat or power-draw. Thank you BB!

Great Storage And Good Speed.
I usually never use or recommend Hdd's anymore but since I tend to do a lot of gaming and music recording, I wanted a drive to hold photos, videos and music files without using my ssds. This is a great for fairly static storage and a lot faster than my old 1tb that wasn't 7200rpm.
