    Purchase during Covid pandemic

    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!

    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.

    Bought this for my Movie Server. Easy install, just snapped it into place and connected the cables. On Windows 10, 64 bit, I did have to format the drive before it showed up, but followed the procedure on the Seagate website, did the 'quick' format and it took just a couple seconds. Very quiet, don't hear it running at all. It is only 5400 rpm, vs 7200 for the faster ones, but it's fast enough to feed movies thru my home network. Only negative is that it didn't come with a user manual, but the Seagate website had info on installing/formatting.

    Normally, I buy Western Digital, so I was skeptical when I bought this. I was wrong. This is a great hard drive and well worth the money. I used this to replace other hard drives and consolidate them into one drive. I recommend this for adding to a desktop, whether for gaming or non-gaming use.

    Upgraded our 4 bay NAS to something a little larger. Needed to replace the 9 year old drives that were failing. These were easy to install and the performance for the money was great. Waiting for them to go on sale again to purchase 3 more. Would recommend these to anyone needing a drive for extra storage.
