Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought two of these drives to insert in my network attached storage box. I set them up as RAID. The NAS box recognized the drives right away and setup was very easy. So far they have worked great. Transfer rate on my network is fast, part of which I attribute to the ability of the drives to write pretty fast. Very satisfied. And I needed them right away and my Best Buy store had them in stock.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Works great, plenty of storage. Had a hard drive crap out on me in the kid's computer and needed to find a suitable replacement. Ive never had an issue with seagate, unlike the toshiba hdd which quit on us after less than 2 years.

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

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

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

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.

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

Reviewing this after nearly 2 years after purchase. Hands down the best value HDD, 2 TB which serves as my main storage alongside my NVME.

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 had no problem restoring a complete disc backup to this drive using Easeus todo backup program. My other BarraCuda drives have lasted so hope this one will too.

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.
