    Hard drive box is easy to open, came with nothing unnecessarily packed. This is a 5400rpm drive, so it is good for storage as a secondary drive. I am currently using it attached to my NAS to store CHIA farming plots, was able to store 78 plots. Moving files using a USB 3.0 hub was 88MB/S

    My go-to drive for bigger storage needs. The read/write speeds are really quite good for a standard HDD at this price point. It's quiet. No platter noise at all. When I fill this one up with my work files, I'll buy another in a heartbeat.

    I was looking for more storage for my music and videos. This hd is selling for the same price as the 4gb that I bought a couple of years ago. It works well with my 1tb SSD Barracuda.

    Really not bad for the price. The speeds weren't mind blowingly fast but that's normal for a HDD. We were able to move 4TB of data over in about 2-4 hours.

    It’s a desktop hard drive. It works as intended, though it’s much faster than I had anticipated. Best used as a secondary drive for storing large files like video games.

    First rate gear. For years our company relied on Seagate drives, with perfect performance. Then we became vendors to Seagate and the appreciation grew stronger: great people, strong ethos, amazing science, and products that keep customers humming year on year.

    Good cheap second drive for storing a lot of data for a price that's as low as others. But I like the option to use PayPal on the website ordering and it was delivered free. Pretty convenient and easy to use ordering process. Arrived in two days

    Bought a pair of these to use in a home server in a RAID configuration. They were easy to install and the system recognized them and I was able to easily set up the mirrored configuration so I have some redundancy in my server. So far so good. Recommended.

    One of the best options for bulk storage at the price. If you have drive docks, you can swap these out. Great for backups.

    Excellent so far, but I am partial to Seagate as their drives have yet to let me down, spins right up, have it currently working inside of a UnRaid server.
