Great product for a 2.5 size. I was trying to find a storage option for the Eufy series home security. It was a challenge to find something in the 2.5 size with a solid amount of space but thos worked really well.

This hard drive is a great drive to boot with or for storage on Laptops. Good size also.

Storage and price - a no brainer for this purchase. Quiet operation and good performance.

As far as spinning platter HDDs go, this BarracudaPro is a very decent unit to inexpensively increase internal laptop/notebook storage. Remarkably thermally stable & mechanically/data reliable, just on it's own. Real world performace can be further leveraged via pairing with NVMe2 Intel Optane memory. Set aside all of the theoretical Optane+HDD naysers. Intel is not subbing out Optane innards with low performance/reliability silicon, whereas the list of SSD vendors baiting product reviews and then re-fabbing/switching sold-to-consumer units (under the same identifiers) with lower performance components is endless. This SeagateHDD, paired with Optane price/performance competes with SSD in the real world, leaving $$$ in my wallet for other things.

I was tired of having to erase games from m y original 500GB PS4. read the reviews on this item from several sources and decided to give it a try. Was a very easy install, and within an hour I had ALL of my many PS4 games loaded on the console with still over 1+TB left for more games!!!
