Customer Ratings & Reviews

Needed extra space for my movie backup especially for 3D playback is perfect great drive. Still plenty as I’m adding one by one.

I have used 1TB, 2TB, 3TB and now 4TB BarraCuda drives. "ALL" of them are still functioning fine. These are excellent hard drives.

Doesnt come with bracket screws, gotta get a sata data cable separately, and for me, im prettu sure mine is faulty out the box. Plugged it up and pc wont boot. Nothing loose, and boots up fine when i remove it. Im sure the storage is great but in terms of a hard drive not including snandard screws kinda sucks honestly.

Well I dont know if its this new hdd or my pc other components which makes it not upload windows ocassionally and freezes up once on a while. Pc a lil too slow for my taste specially compared to my old 4tb hdd buy it at your own risk, perhaps I need a faster processor or more memory but the makers of the hdd dont mention that need

I backed up about 3TB of data with no issues. Only time will tell though. I will update if anything goes wrong.

Fast as heck ., I like the speed of this drive 5gbs write speed.!

A very reliable HDD, for a pretty reasonable price. A lot slow but that's to be expected.

Product is being used to store data and works good for that purpose. It is not a fast drive but works good for the intended purpose.

Rsync'ed 2TB of data from WD 4TB (SMR) to the Seagate Barracuda 8TB (turns out it is also SMR). Took almost 9 hours. 3 hours longer than I anticipated. Did the same 2TB copy from one WD 4TB to a different WD 4TB drive, it took six hours. Since I already moved the data, I decided to keep the drives since the SMR penalty is paid during writes. And this server is for archiving, it is something I can live with. But if I had know before hand, I would have maybe considered the WD 6TB. For more information research CMR vs SMR vs PMR.

great drive, i can always count on seagate or western digital to make the best, most reliable and inexpensive drives there are.

This what was actually a great item for the price. I got it to store the extra games that got.

Amazing hard-drive and when on sale its a steal. It handles games very well.

I don’t normally buy seagate but for the size and price I could not pass up

seagate drives are reliable and last unlike some other brands

Great price! I use one for a server and its been running for a year straight now. Needed a second for backup Purposes.

Great for $100 using it for a plex server and back up

Great hard drive No issues since i bought it. I will buy it again

Drives are fast. not liking the sounds it makes but good quality for the cost.

Works well enough with the hardware specifications. The hard drive is not the fastest but does daily tasks well.

The drive developed a loud clicking noise about 8 months after the purchase. I sent a video of the problem to Seagate and based on that they determined that the drive was faulty and that it can go down any minute. They organized a replacement. They do not offer data recovery as part of the Warranty. It took me two days to back up the drive constantly praying that it does not crap out before I finish. Lucky me it did not. Now they will send me another one - refurbished most probably but the warranty does not restart. I purchased about 20 hard drives in the last 20 years this is the 2nd one that died on me. Coincidentally the other one was also a Seagate drive.
