I edit videos and since I have to record plenty I need memory and also memory for backup, this is my second Seagate BarraCuda that I have on my computer. I got the second one to backup the first just in case something goes wrong. It was easy to install, I found the cables on my computer, plugged both cables and then in settings just added the memory and done. I also downloaded the Seagate health checkup to keep an eye on it. I like that it comes with a 2 year warranty. It reads and writes fast and since I edit large videos I need something fast and this keeps up.
I like how it works. easy to install and setup and very reliable.

I bought 2 of these hard drives. I bought one hard drive from the Valparaiso, Indiana, store, and I had to drive 40 miles to the Homewood, Illinois, store to get another one because no one at the Merrillville, Indiana, store would retrieve it from the locked cabinet for me.

This is a great product for storing files as a back up drive. Main drive is SSD. No problems with it once shipped here. Holds all my emulation roms and movie files. Very good deal.

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.

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.
