The hard drive is a great value when considering size, price, and speed. Installed easily and works great. My OS is on a much smaller SSD and this drive is used as one of the data drives. Highly recommend!

Speeds are fast enough and load times are to bad games load the same speed as my sata ssd very small difference hard to beat for the price excellent for large game libraries.

Was comparing against SSD but needed the extra capacity. Performance did not disappoint. A little louder than my original 5400rpm drive.

Bought so I would have more room on my computer. It is a little bit louder than an SDD but it was easy to install and gave me the extra memory that I needed for my games.

Excellent Hard drive, fast, reliable, and worth every penny.
I bought this hard drive for my computer, and I am really impressed with its performance. It's super fast, quiet, and works perfectly right out of the box. The build quality feels solid, and installation was simple. I've used it for both work and personal files, and it's been reliable with no issues at all. If you are looking for a dependable and high-quality hard drive, this one is definitely a great choice!

I keep my non-essential files and inactive software projects on this HDD. It isn't as fast as my Samsung 980 Pro SSD, but it is still impressive. I've used HDDs in the past and I was pretty surprised at how fast this one is. Definitely worth the extra few dollars. Honestly, I think most people could get away with this HDD if they didn't have an SSD in their budget.

So far, so good. This was purchased as an internal backup to my Windows 11 PC's primary SSD. It was a little clicky on startup the first few times it was powered on, but has since quieted down. Good value for the price.

Been going on 2 years and it’s still going strong. I been mostly doing gaming so it’s seen many different downloaded files ranging from RPGs MMOs and shooters. 153 different game titles. It outlasted my pcs gtx 1050. Granted a lot of these houses in the cities have old wiring that can’t push the juice out

Nice basis SATA hard drive to increase the storage

Nice basis SATA hard drive to increase the storage in a desktop computer. Not intended for DVRs/NVRs or NAS applications. It'll fit, but it'll likely fail a lot faster than some of the other alternatives that are made for those tasks.
It's great for an extra data partition but if you're considering this as an upgrade or a replacement for the only drive in your computer get a Solid State Drive instead. Everything will run quicker.

Bought this to replace my old 2009 1TB Barracuda. This 2TB model is used for games that aren't played daily, Shadowplay recordings and general data storage. Performance is fantastic, especially for a mechanical drive. It's no SSD but I'm pleasantly surprised at the speed. Would recommend if you already have an SSD boot drive and just need more internal storage for less frequently used files.

This one was on sale when I bought it but even its regular retail price is amazing! Came in within the week after ordering it online. 2 TB is plenty of storage for storing my games and software I plan on adding. No damage whatsoever when it arrived and I must say that I personally love product appearance! However I will say that it makes a digitalis sound from time to time when loading things on my PC. I figured thats normal since its a disc drive.
