This is the standard for SSDs. It was easy to hook up, and the speed is perfect for me. Loads fast, and with he 8TB, I am good to go for quite a while. And for the price, is a win. I thought about a m.2 but in the end this was the easier, cheaper, and still a solid, reliable option. Very satisfied.

Have had this drive for several months performed flawlessly easy to install and has worked with no efforts

because no mounting hardware was included. But thats ok cus it wasn't specified to be included. HOWever, the software that WAS specified in the ad did not come in the delivery. I'm still waiting, when should I expect that software? It does work w/o that software so maybe it is not crucial?

Love it works great holes an awful lot of information easier to install very fast data transfer

Bought two of these to complete a RAID-1 homebuilt OpenMediaVault low-power NAS. At idle with both drives the system uses only about 20 watts. Spinning noise is very quiet. Seek noise is a bit low/chunky. Some will depend on how much case you use. But it's not super obtrusive by any means. Performance is more than enough to outrun the LAN. Overall great price per unit storage. We'll have to see how they fare with time.

Bought this for my Movie Server. Easy install, just snapped it into place and connected the cables. On Windows 10, 64 bit, I did have to format the drive before it showed up, but followed the procedure on the Seagate website, did the 'quick' format and it took just a couple seconds. Very quiet, don't hear it running at all. It is only 5400 rpm, vs 7200 for the faster ones, but it's fast enough to feed movies thru my home network. Only negative is that it didn't come with a user manual, but the Seagate website had info on installing/formatting.

Works great got it on sale holds everything i need so far compared to what was already in my desktop with how big games are on needing storage it definitely glad i bought this over the 4tb only issue i had was not knowing it needed a sata cable when i bought it. Which thanks to youtube i was able to set it up wish i would of known i needed one though i wouldn't have had to make a second trip to buy one.

My company has been buying batches of these units on a monthly basis for about 6 months. Price for the class of drive this is solid, and we've been without issue of any sort. We'll continue this approach for the foreseeable future.

Love the capacity, speed and reliability of this drive. Looking to get a few more soon

It's not secret that covid stop production of all thing. Once of those things are the hardware for computers. Seagate is a good brand that I trust for years due to it's durability based on my experience. I can't say the same for others, but I had no issue. I took advantage of the sale and installed it on my computer ASAP since it's prebuilt that came with 500GB SSD. Currently using this 8TB as a secondary, to install video games, project files for Unreal Engine, Unity, or coding files from Microsoft Visual Studio. There is a reason on my title say Purchase during Covid Pandemic. Apparently there is 30% defect among Seagate products and where I work, IT department confirmed Seagate Exos are among that 30% defects. I did mentioned that I have the Barracuda from Seagate but from his research I should be fine. Hopefully! Seagate factories have been shut for god knows how long due to covid, so imagine rushing and meeting the supply due to the demand. Fingers crossed!

I use these for backups, but they are fast enough for most work as well. They are very reliable. quiet and don't ever get very hot and can run endlessly. Great value/ TB

Excellent Data storage for my computer system. Has great room, excellent quiteness, and is super fast

I purchased this drive for my PC, I use an external hard drive docking station to connect it to my pc and have had no issues. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a large drive

It's a hard drive... It's large. It holds all the things and some of the stuff. random 4k reads bench's at 237MB/s R 136k MB/s! in CrystalDiskMark It's big, it's quick.

I needed something to replace my failing 2TB storage drive. Works great was really looking for something smaller but I guess you can't go wrong with more space for stuff.

Purchased this for my PC build. So far working very well. 8 TB is plenty enough for me. Back-ups are quick and I have not had any issues.

8TB for that price is a steal, just as good as more expensive brands

A+ drive, quiet and much needed space! Seagate has always been reliable for me.

This product has great storage and works great in my pc!
