[Employee of bestbuy] Tons of storage for my media server! Really nice build quality too

Just the right size for the Synology NAS, especially with a five year warranty.

Replaced Toshiba NAS drives with these and do not regret it. These run a little hotter and have less cache but they don't fail S.M.A.R.T. Tests consistently nor make as much noise. They also don't throw Crc errors. I replaced 8 new drives with these just for the issues I mentioned. If you want something that just works and isn't as loud, get these. You'll have piece of mind these won't fail unlike the Toshiba N300's they replaced.

I've had this drive for almost 4 months. I was fortunate enough to purchase it when it was on sale. The drive has a great warranty period of 5 years, and being an Enterprise class drive, it should perform well for a good while. The drive is intended as a NAS (Network Attached Store) drive. My use case it different. I use it as a secondary internal hard drive on my home-built PC, which I use mostly for gaming, video storage, and Unreal Engine projects. There are 2 things I have become aware of while using this as a secondary internal drive in my home PC. 1) The drive is not as quiet as your typical internal hard drives made specifically for a home PC. 2) If the PC is put into sleep mode, when it is awakened this drive is offline (no longer visible in the file manager). In this case, the only way to get the disk online is to reboot the PC. For me the above 2 things are not really an issue because I use headphones, and I don't put my PC into sleep mode. Again, this drive is intended as a NAS drive, but is useable as an internal secondary hard drive in a home PC with the above mentioned caveats.

I was looking for HDDs for my Ugreen NAS, bought a Seagate Ironwolf Pro 20TB when on sale, but DOA, so returned it to BestBuy and tried to find a replacement. The price of the 20TB went back to the original, eventually I settled with the 16TB. I bought two 16TB for my NAS, so far they have been working great. It's a bit loud though when the hard drives are working.

Ordered 4 of these beasts for my Syba 8 bay DAS; they're working great! I now have enough space for all my stuff to be organized neatly across 8 unique star-trek themed partitions :)

This drive is a great High capacity HDD. Good speed and decent price when on sale.

Very reliable drive with plenty space for files archives. Mine running a 24 hours home server.

Reliable, Fast, and quiet hard drive. I would buy this product again.

I got this hard drive to go in my nas so I could create my own streaming service to save money. It works great and fast. It's a small price to pay for the amount of money I'm saving getting rid of all my streaming services.

Works as intended with my Ugreen 6800 Pro NAS. It’s fairly silent and can only hear the clicking noise when HDD are being written to. 5 year warranty is a huge plus was well

These work perfectly in my NAS. I replaced the 8TB ones with these and they are perfect.

Working great for over a year in my Ugreen 4800 Pro NAS.

Drives were error free from the beginning. Replaced my 5 year old NAS drives with these. So far happy with the speed. Hoping for another 5 years without issues.

Great drives for my NAS! Bought 4 and they all work great!

Bought for a Ugreen NAS. So far these are working great!

The drives are amazing, but BestBuy sells them for $100+ more than anywhere else so buy them elsewhere.

This is a nice, high quality drive for long term storage, and decent read write speeds.

Bought for my Zidoo media player. Performs excellent just wish they would stop hiking up in price

Used this as a dedicated media drive for a Plex Media Server - filled it up to 75% already within a few weeks and the performance has stayed steady and within expected ranges. Very quiet, and seems to stay relatively cool. Great drive so far!
