    Very good for a retro gaming drive. Not too loud and plenty of storage.

    I used to be a Western Digital only HD user, but lately the quality seems to have dropped. This is my fourth Seagate drive in the last few years and they seem to hold up better.

    Poor Internal 8TB HD from Seagate

    Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Drawbacks: 1) Frequently and easily fragmented. 2) Unstable when I download files. 3) Copying files onto this HD could be as slow as 2 Mb/sec especially when I was downloading files. 4) May freeze and slow down Chrome. I returned this HD and found a good internal HD from WD. My experience for external HD is exactly opposite between WD and Seagate. WD's external 8TB HD runs too hot (i.e., >55 deg C).

    this is an AMAZING SSD. The only thing that made me super frustrated is that there is a 20 TB one for the SAME PRICE AS THE 8 TB I JUST GOT! How is that fair??

    I bought this in May. Return period ended in June. Now, July 10, the drive is dead. Is this what we should expect from Seagate?

    Amazing price for amount of storage!

    Extremely high storage space, for a really good price, applications on it run a little slow when It comes to loading times, but nothing too significant, I already have installed 700gb worth of stuff on it and I still have 90% of storage left, insane!!!

    Needed to upgrade our desktop with added capacity. After reading reviews and comparing prices we found the 8T Barracuda the best option for the best price.

    Seagate products are always efficient and reliable. This latest purchase made at Best Buy is no different, I am very happy with the product, both for its quality and its price.
