This is an incredible storage solution for anyone looking to hold, transfer, store old projects or footage, client's work, whatever you need it for. 12TB is a TON of space to work with and you won't be needing anything else for a while. I use this HDD for storing all my client's footage and projects. There are only two issues I have with this drive: When transferring items it's kind of noisy, and can take a while if transferring a lot of data. Hence the 4 star rating. I had to transfer about 3 TBs of footage, (this is an old picture in the review) it took nearly 2 days. Realistically, this could be due to the dock, or other factors I'm not taking into account, but the point still stands, if you're going to dump a ton of files onto it make sure you have the free time to do it. Also, hope you don't mind all the clicking and beeping you will hear from it if it isn't in an enclosed case. Other than those complaints, I have no other issues with it. It's a lot of space, for a good price, and you get a lengthy warranty and file protection plan with it. Overall, very happy with my purchase, and will most likely buy another when this one fills up.

Provides excellent performance and reliability, however, users should be aware of its physical size and weight, which may require adequate space and power considerations. Overall works great for my needs!

Received the drives as advertised. I managed to get them at $195 when they were on sale, price is back up to $230 now, so nice little discount. These are NAS-use specific hard drives, so they went in my new NAS, no problems. I chose the IronWolf series because they are supposedly more like an enterprise drive in terms of durability, configuration and I guess they are filled with helium gas to reduce friction if I read the right literature.

Fast, not too loud, and no bad sectors. Last drive I bought from other brand had bad sectors within 2 weeks of use and corrupted most of my media files. I was worried about that happening, but no problems with this Seagate drive. In my experience, every Seagate drive has worked as advertised and no quality problems. Also fits good in NAS but does not fit in my pc case when I wanted to see if it could. This drive works very well for my media server. My only issue is with the price, I think that paying over $200 is far too much, so I would wait for a sale.

Excellent hard drive Very smooth , strong build quality, sometimes it make noise when start the but the work is well
