    Solid HDD, good for game storage. Wish it was a bit faster than 5400rpm, but runs a little quieter than the faster drives.

    Worked well for about 7 months then started having problems then around the 10 month mark the drive was causing my pc to get stuck trying to turn itself on and blue screening everytime. As soon as I unplugged this drive my pc had no problem booting up. Luckily this isnt my main storage drive

    Best by is the best! I had a hard drive fail and I urgently needed this to replace it. Best buy had it in stock! Curb side pickup worked great! Especially considering it was 6 days to Christmas morning.

    Not a lot of HD makers make an internal 8TB drive, so I picked up this Seagate. Seagate in the past has been known for unreliable drives so I am hoping they have improved since then.

    It's SMR instead of CMR so I would not trust this hard drive with sensitive data.

    It wasn't compatible with my WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra. I therefore can't say whether it was good or bad since I couldn't use it.
