    This hard drive is the perfect size for a gamer’s library. I love that I can have so many games loaded to play! This is the biggest drive I’ve ever had and I’m very happy with it!

    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.

    I purchased this hard drive because I needed a larger back up drive for various files to save room on my computer and allow me to use the files on other computers we have. So far it has functioned as all of our other Seagate Barracuda hard drives have. Out of more than 20 purchased over the past several years we have only had 2 give us any issues and one of them was a 2.5" Laptop hard drive. So.. Performance and serviceability have been outstanding. We will be buying more as we need them!
