Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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

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.

The operation is quiet and efficient, and it delivers exactly what I needed—plenty of space with dependable performance. Highly recommended for anyone needing high-capacity storage

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

Great price / TB ratio. Great for massive data storage but can pair with PrimoCache and a cheap/small nvme/sssd for booting games from it faster than normal HDD speeds.

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

Amazing i can download all the stuff i want and havent even put a dent in it

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.

Exactly what we needed. Lots memory for a good price. Easy to install

Awesome storage. Works quickly for what it is. A little noisy, but that is to be expected.

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

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!

this is a good hard drive. works great and has tons of storage

No complains, simply works as expected. Not much else to say - typically a hard drive is just a hard drive to me.

Easy to recommend as these are excellent drives for data storage as well as daily use, not to mention that they are also a really good price for the size.

Installation was pretty easy and it was detected first try and had been working well in my new PC.

Its reliable performance and high storage density make it a solid choice for users requiring significant storage space. The sleek design and compatibility with various devices enhance its versatility, making it a valuable addition to any setup.

Bought this to install into our home security system for 24/7 recording. Works perfectly and the value was on point. Will purchase another in the future to allow our cameras to store over a month's worth of video footage.
