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

Working minimum of 50 characters so ill just say slow but not that slow you know

Have several of these drives. Have them in a NAS.

great hard drive, it is mostly silent with minimum vibration, lay it on high density foam to make it quieter

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.

It's a SATA HDD... it does it's job that works for me.

Works great. It adds extra memory when you need it most.

Good product and high quality. I recommend. best hard drive.

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.

It works ok so far. As I ones it would. I've used drives like this before.

Fit in computer grandson was making. Does what he expected it to do.

Installation was a breeze. "Quickly" transferred and consolidated over 6tb from other drives. Very pleased.

Its a 5400rpm drive with a good cache amount. Relatively cheap for large storage.

I never had a problem with seagate drives and if i did it was because of me! lol

Love it! :-) Will probably buy a few more! I highly recommend!

8TB 256Cache 7200Rpm. Great Price! Very nice for extra internal drive.

This is easily the slowest drive I've ever owned. Good for cold storage, not for active use. I tried to get an idea of how much space a directory was using and gave up after half an hour, when it had counted 250GB and was still going.

Quiet and works great. 50 characters seems a bit excessive.

Works as advertised. These tend to last a decent length of time.

I bought this to back up my computer in an external case. After I'd backed up about 5 TB of stuff the drive stopped responding. I tried moving it to another case, connecting it to another computer, and still no response (it is no longer seen), but placing another hard drive into the same cases show no problem. I would return the drive except it is full of non-encrypted personal data (including financial stuff).
