Customer Ratings & Reviews

This drive was easy to install. It is nice and quiet. Works great. It is fast.

This Seagate - Barracuda 2TB was not only in stock, But also it was priced like it should be. Platter drives are basically out do to solid state and M2 drives. But, DVR's do not take advantage of current drives so why spend extra.

Great for the price. Great for a game drive. Better than the WD blue.

Built my computer using this excellent hard drive for the price. Would recommend if you are building a computer and need a solution for storage. I would still recommend a SSD since they're light years faster than this but this is still relatively fast for what it is and how much you're paying for it.

Great drive. Works good. Plenty of space. Good price.

It's a good hard drive, but it's pretty loud, their speed claim is accurate at my end. Overall not a bad option for large storage and being cheap.

I use disk management to create 2 1TB-partition and to format using NTFS. This is my first Seagate BarraCuda I use as second HDD in 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD computer. I use a lot data in less than a week (this PC show 1.19TB free of 1.18 TB). It performs very well and run quietly, I hear no noise. Model:ST2000DMA08 7200 revolutions.

Bought a new Seagate 2tb HDD to do a clean install of win 11. Just a general purpose home use desktop. I let win 11 do the formatting and partitioning. Everything went smoothly. This HDD is faster and quieter than the western digital one that it replaced. Good price and good product.

Seagate Barracuda is a good, reliable drive. Best buy had this 2 TB drive for a good price. Ordered it online for pickup at the store. Picked it up an hour later.

As far as hard drives go, this one does just fine, and hasn't given out after a few months of ownership. The 7200 RPM keeps it feeling fairly responsive in relation to other large 5400 RPM drives. Using it as a drive for frequently accessed files has been pretty great, but as always, if you want faster, more spontaneous access to larger files for professional projects or want instantaneous loading speeds in games, using any type of SSD is the way to go, but this one will do just fine if you don't mind a little bit of an extra wait in exchange for the capacity.

Very fast, easy to install, really good price for the brand. Highly recommended

Had no problems installing. Works like a charm. Cheap too

Definitely one of the fastest hdd ( 7200 rpm) . Great for large file backup . Even game loading isnt that bad. Around 220 mb/s speed , faster than wd blue. Goes head to head with wd black yet chealer than the wd black. Only reaon im giving 4 star is beacuse the occasional clicking nosie it developed in less than 3 months of light usage.

When my trusty Dell desktop started making strange noises and then wouldn't start, I realized that the original 1.5TB Seagate hard drive was failing. Best Buy offered this Seagate Barracuda 2TB drive at a great price, so I decided to take advantage and order it. It arrived in a few days, and I am happy to report that the drive has been working flawlessly. I did a clean install of Windows 10 and then reinstalled everything else, and despite the time and effort involved, everything went well. The drive is quiet and fast and has all the space I could ever need on this particular computer. I highly recommend this Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive!

Built a new PC with $2200 in parts. Needed another drive for my labs this is working great with no issues.

Used this drive to replace a failing OEM Dell drive and increase capacity. Clone worked great using Seagate Disk Wizard Software. Computer is working better than before. Good value. Note: Macrium Free didn't work. So if you want to clone use the Seagate Software which is free for cloning and backup.

I purchased this to replace a 1TB Barracuda that failed after 24/7 use for a number of years. Very easy to simply switch out for the failed drive and to load the OS and programs. Have always had good luck with Seagate, and this is the 2nd Barracuda I've used to replace an old failed drive. Would happily purchase again.

Great! It has held up even 2 years later. Would recommend if you're looking for something this big and affordable.

This hard drive is loud and kinda slow. But it was inexpensive and has large capacity (2TB). It's good for just storage, but It's NOT good for gaming as a primary drive. Some games lately are conpletely unoptimized for Hard Drives and you will have problems playing. One example is Battlefield 2042. It takes minutes to join a match on hard drive, and even if you join at the start of the match with friends at the same time, you will be the last one to actually enter the match. You will be stuck on the loading screen for long before you join. And even after the match ends, or if you quit the match, you will have to wait for a loading screen. When starting a multiplayer match, by the time the match finishes loading up and puts you in the game, everyone will have already started playing and there will be progress made in the match. It's very annoying. Some other games are not like that, so maybe it is just EA/DICEs fault and not thenhard drive's, but still, after this I wouldn't trust a hard drive for gaming again since SSDs have become the standard now and games will start depending more and more on SSDs.

Ultimately, what matters most in a hard drive is data integrity over a long period of time, and so the rating I've awarded this item is provisional. I purchased this hard drive as a replacement for a boot drive that was showing signs of looming mechanical failure. After connecting it to a 2012-era msi Z77A-G43, I immediately saw a significant improvement in the system's performance, especially when processing database queries. I believe this to have been the best value out of a lineup of suitors that had similar or better data transfer specs, but would not have been able to reach their potential paired with an aging motherboard. I expect this hard drive to survive its current system and later be incorporated into a new computer, where it should serve adequately as a backup drive.
