Customers are saying

    Fast and reasonably-priced

    I use this as a backup drive for my SSD main drive. It's faster than my previous Seagate Barracuda which died after 5+ years of continuous use, and it's priced right.

    I bought this hard drive after the internal SSD that came with my desktop was mostly filled up. So far, it's been great for storing all of my pictures and videos and I've had no complaints with it! I would recommend looking up a video on how to install it though, it doesn't come with instructions.

    Best backup HDD on the market

    This HDD would serve well for any disc drive, but as a backup drive you really can't go wrong with the Seagate- Barracuda. It's fast, responsive, and reliable. Priced right as well.

    This is a great hard drive for what you pay. Compared to WD this hard drive has faster revolution speeds and data transfer rates meaning that it will read and write faster! Overall great product, the only complaint I have is that you can hear the disk slightly but definitely a lot quieter then other brands I have tried. If you have a problem with hearing the disk slightly then I would recommend going with an NVMe or SSD.

    I thought this hard drive failed after dual-booting Windows 10 & Ubuntu. It was running beautifully with Windows, as expected. Then I installed Linux but did something wrong partitioning. Trying to start over by reformatting everything led to more failures. I blamed the drive and returned it. It really looked like drive failure! Jeez. Samed thing then happened on an old drive that I grabbed as an alternative. Linux forums were of no help... Long story short, I just let a Linux system install on its own, overwriting everything, and voila, perfect. I still don't know what was wrong, but it most definitely was not the drive. Poor drive. I feel guilt as #@^*!

    I bought this hard drive about 1 1/2 years ago. I use it for various 3D rendering programs. It has had no problems at all so far. I've had lots of luck with Seagate over the years and have stayed with the brand consistently. I always try to research specific drives first before purchasing, tho. I think that's what has helped me in avoiding problems.

    Needed extra space and was going to get another 1 TB drive, but the price of the 2 TB drive was close. With my reward points I got more extra space and a very good price. Performs as expected.

    I use this hard drive for putting the majority of my Steam library in, and it's been holding up so far! The load times are pretty snappy, and the drive stays quiet even under load.

    Bought this as a replacement to a dying HDD in my prebuilt gaming PC. It works fantastically and the extra TB compared to my old 1TB is very nice. Great price too!

    Good drive - be aware of model numbers

    Good drive for additional storage. Easy install assuming you have all the cables. Closely look at the model numbers at the Seagate website and what you are buying so as to make sure you get what you want. There is a slight difference between the 2 year and 5 year warranted drive in the performance area. Price difference as well. Be aware that you may have to "initialize" the disk for Windows to use it. Took me a bit to figure that out. Overall I'm pleased.

    Crashed computer, service

    Shopping first to get prices and in-store availability was great! Stephen Combs, the sales assistant was very understanding about a crashed computer! ( my irritation with Microsoft updates was evident...) Later that day I returned to buy the hard drive, and sales assistant Gabriella Murr was fast, efficient, and cheerful ! I recommend a raise and bonus for both! Also - I have purchased 2 8 TB drives for the AI work I am doing... Great service! In-store devices are a MUST when a computer has crashed, since it means that the computer cannot access the internet!

    Great drives for desk top computers at a very reasonable price. Cheap enough to set up in a RAID configuration so that you will not lose up data.
