Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the 2TB Seagate hard drive's performance, large storage capacity, ease of use, and competitive price. Many also found installation straightforward and the drive to be quiet. While some experienced issues with the warranty and the lack of included SATA cables and mounting screws, these concerns were less frequently reported than positive feedback.

    This drive was to replace my other 2TB drive that died. I used it for about a week and could not take vibrational hum any longer. I swapped in a WD black drive and using this Seagate just for backup.

    Very happy with Seagate drives that I have used in the past. Not the case with this one. The drive seems to vibrate on initial spin and seems to be more noisy that other drives that I currently use.

    I bought it to use as exended storage in my set top box. Turned out it was not one of the few drives that would work with that box.

    This drive was convenient to purchase since it was in stock at the store, and I mainly use it for data that I could easily replace. I don't plan on relying on this drive for anything critical as it clicks alot while processing I/O, which is probably ok, but still makes me nervious that I can hear it from this drive, while my other drives are basically silent.

    Purchased on 7-Jan-2017 and on 05-March 2017, turned on the PC and this drive setup as "D" drive was no longer available. Turned off PC, checked connections, tried different SATA ports/cables and tried it in a different PC but the drive will not power on. I then put the older WD 500 GB drive that this Seagate 2TB drive was purchased to replace back in the same slot that the new drive was in and the older WD 500 GB works perfectly. So lesson learned is not to purchase Seagate hard drives.

    After four months this hard drive failed, it stopped receiving power. I rested other sata devices and they all receive power from the same cables. Also tested this hard drive on a different system and had the same issue. It doesn't receive power. It failed suddenly with no warning. I got this to upgrade from a wd black 500GB drive. I will never buy seagate again, going back to WD

    Great price. Works well in my iMac.

    After about 5 years, my iMac suddenly crashed, and the drive started making an evil "ka-chunk-ka-chunk" sound. No great mystery what the problem was. I used the opportunity to install a larger drive. I chose this one because of the excellent price and good reviews. It's twice the size of the original, which allows me to consolidate all my music and movies back onto the main drive from the external drive I'd been using. The system restored from a Time Machine backup without incident, and I then copied over all the media files. Everything seems to be functioning fine. Of course, only time will tell how long it lasts, but so far, so good.
