    8tb for less than 200$ sounds great and all but i would just go with a SDD than this , download speeds are VERY SLOW ,switched to a SDD and don’t plan on going back yes this is a cheap option but save yourself the headache and spend a little more for the SSDb

    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.
