    My second hard drive and my pc has room for 3

    I edit videos and since I have to record plenty I need memory and also memory for backup, this is my second Seagate BarraCuda that I have on my computer. I got the second one to backup the first just in case something goes wrong. It was easy to install, I found the cables on my computer, plugged both cables and then in settings just added the memory and done. I also downloaded the Seagate health checkup to keep an eye on it. I like that it comes with a 2 year warranty. It reads and writes fast and since I edit large videos I need something fast and this keeps up. I like how it works. easy to install and setup and very reliable.
