    Disk works as designed. Usually I buy the ironwolf drives but am giving this one a try in my NAS. So far so good.

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

    Needed a large drive for cold storage. Works for that. Slow and makes noise but good for what it is.

    The drive works great and the installation by Best Buy's Geek Squad was excellent and vey prompt. They installed it in a new computer and transferred the files from my old computer in less than one week. I am very pleased with their service. They were much more helpful than th manufacturer.

    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.
