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.

    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.

    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.

    2TB Barracuda SATA Drive

    I bought this 2TB SATA drive to add some internal storage to my desktop which came with a 256GB SSD. Installing the drive was simple but it did not come with the mounting screws so I had to get those 6X32 screws and cut them down to size. The drive works fine and is relatively quite.

    I needed a secondary drive for a gaming pc that I was building and this one offered speed and storage at a decent price. It was easy to install and its reasonably quick for a non SSD drive.

    I really think these drives are great for what they are. They're cheap and reliable, decent seek times, good longevity. I might be kind of old school, but running a 1TB M.2 boot drive and just expanding with these has been my recommendation for awhile now. Come in larger capacities, too...

    My old drive was showing signs of malfunction so I had to make a quick decision to purchase a new drive. I would normally do more research. But this drive did not disappoint me. This is a really good deal for a 2 TB . You normally pay that price for a 1 TB Does the average person need a drive that big? Yes they do. Todays OS's and programs take up a lot of drive space. Some of the newer cases are more compact so make sure you have the space. This is a i full sized drive. I'm still using my old Monster XION case because I like all the room in it so I had no problem with the standard size drive bays. it fit right in. It does not come with an install disk, but you really don't need one. Hook it up and format. Set your partitions and you're ready to go. I ran some tests on it and everything checked out good. Microsoft loaded an update edition of windows 10 And it pretty much arranged it's self . This drive would also be perfect for a DVR and security cameras.

    The hard drive works as it is supposed to and I am satisfied with it's performance. It is quiet, has plenty of storage space, and I use it for storing my personal files outside of my operating system. I recommend this hard drive.

    Been using Seagate Drives since I had 3 of 5 WD 250Gb drives fail in a raid 5. Got tired of replacing drive, been using Seagate ever since and never had one fail. Still have lots of old 160, 250, and 1000GB drives in use. This drive was great too. Fast and quiet. More room for Steam games.....LOL

    I was skeptical because of the price, but this drive performs well and has given me no issues. Its not the quietest drive I've had but certainly not the loudest. I have two of these now and would not hesitate to use them as replacements for aging hard drives in other systems.

    In all of my budget PC builds i use an SSD for the boot drive then add this 2TB HDD for mass storage, for about 50 bucks its a great add on for those steam games in your library that are single player or non competitive.

    I had to replace a damaged hard drive and for the size and price it was a great deal. This doubles the amount I had before, it’s used for a business computer so wasn’t looking for a ssd or m.2. It has so far been a reliable component.

    Seagate Barracuda hard drives are very reliable so find one for 2TB for a little over $50 was a great deal. It's working perfectly as a secondary hard drive on my pc and doing a perfect job. Highly recommend this drive, especially since it has a high speed (7200 rpm)
