Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the Barracuda 2TB Internal Hard Drive's large storage capacity, speed, and affordability. Many appreciate its ease of installation and setup. While some users noted the drive produces some noise and doesn't include a SATA cable, the positive feedback on performance and value outweighs these minor drawbacks.

    Have had an excellent time with this storage device. I was able to download my entire Steam library and then some, and still have a good chunk of space leftover.

    Very nice for a steam library drive, I put all my bigger games in this hhd when I’m not playing them much. Very good price for the amount of space this provides.

    Needed to replace a failed internal hard drive. This installed as expected, and I was able to restore my system from an image file without any issue.

    Very Slow Drive

    I have 2 Drives in my computer C drive for the OS SSD... and D for Data Seagate 2TB Seagate Barracuda Compute and Desktop disk drives use shingled magnetic recording (SMR) technology now which can exhibit slow data write speeds. But Seagate documentation does not spell this out. It took 9 HR to copy 1.1TB to this drive! Then I put my old drive back in and the same copy setup took 2.5 Hr to copy the same 1.1TB All I can say is do your homework I will never buy a HDD with Shingled Magnetic Recording again! Here is a list I found of Seagate SMR drives. Barracuda 2TB – 7,200rpm – SATA 6gig – model name – ST2000DM008 Barracuda 4TB – 5,400rpm – SATA 6gig – ST4000DM004 Barracuda 8TB – 5,400rpm – SATA 6gig – ST8000DM004 Desktop HDD 5TB – 5,900rpm – SATA 6gig – ST5000DM000 Exos 8TB – 5900rpm – SATA 6gig – ST8000AS0003 Archive v2 6TB – 5,900rpm – SATA 6gig – ST6000AS0002 Archive v2 8TB – 5,900rpm – SATA 6gig – ST8000AS0002

    I've always had trust in Seagate, so I went with two of these when I wanted to upgrade my somewhat slower models. They were inexpensive, since the action is all in the SSD area. My current system wouldn't match well with a big SSD, so I stuck with these for now.

    ros: Replaced a failing put still functional Seagate ST2000DM006 2TB drive used in Raid 1 with this exact same model. The failing drive was used for several years logging 24k hours of service. The other aged Seagate ST2000DM006 2TB drive in this Raid still checks good. These drives in my experience run quietly and dependably.

    I bought this to replace an external hard drive that was starting to fail. I have this housed in an external HDD case and connected via USB. Been working fine as expected for daily backups.

    Original Desk Top hard drive died. Purchased the Barracuda, installed it in my HP Pavilion desk top and reformatted from Image disks then reloaded from backup external drive. Working flawlessly and I now have 2 Terra bytes of storage. Much cheaper than a new computer.

    No issues so far, and as fast as you can expect a hard drive to be. Little bit loud at times
