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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

8TB hard drive that offers expansive storage capacity, providing ample space for your data needs. 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. Overall, a dependable solution for those seeking substantial storage without compromising on performance.

Great hard drive I use it for my photography would recommend it.

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.

Easy to set up and it's doing the job I need it for. It feels like a massive amount of storage (for now).
