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.

Solid drive, replaced two aging 3TB drives in my NAS. If these things last as long as the WD drives I had, they were worth every penny.

This HDD has been working great. When I received it it was in protective packaging which made me feel better about it being shipped. Opening and installing the device was very straightforward and easy with minimal effort aside from moving some wires inside of my PC. Set up was also very quick an once it was recognizable and formatted I was able to use it right away with very little space taken away from the formatting process. One issue I would have with the device is not having it come with a SATA cable. Many people wouldn’t assume it would come with or without one, but I would say including one would help those using the device. I was lucky to have an extra lying around so it wasn’t a problem for me. Overall great device and easy setup!
