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

    Very easy to install. Bought the drive 2 weeks ago and no errors and slow down. I mostly use the hard drive for 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.

    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.

    Works great if you have a big library of photos, music and games. The price was reasonable. Two thumbs up I feel 8tb hdd will be the new standard since everything is digital.

    I love the Barracuda HDDs for extra space, their price per GB is better than most on the market and they're very reliable. They are often on sale for huge discounts as well.
