    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.

    Bought this to use as my off site backup drive. Seems to be well made and was easily formatted to what I needed it for. Quiet operation for a HDD and no issues fitting it inside the enclosure I purchased along with it. I do wish seagate was a bit more descriptive about the intent of the "compute" branding. I'm making an educated guess it's more for operating systems or storage of programs rather than files, pictures, and videos you might see on a NAS.

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

    A Mega Storage Device

    It's a little slower than I wanted, but I was comparing it to the newer type of drives so I guess I should have expected that. With that said, the amount of stuff I was able to put on this drive is uncanny. I had so many smaller hard drives just sitting around with data on them that it's not even funny. Although there are, of course, hubs and such and housing capabilities for the drives, when you have a Mac mini your options can only go so far to the point where you either buy a super expensive hub with TONS of faster ports, or you buy this larger, economical hard drive and save yourself a bunch of money on a way too expensive mega-hub. IMO this was the better option.

    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.
