Exactly what you need for large capacity storage, also reliability is the principal reason for this over the others brand.

There's no way I could use all this space, but I don't have to worry about running out of space and the drive has permitted me to back up all my work (personal, bills, etc.) very easily. Peace of mind.

I've had this hard drive for 5 months. Though it can make some clunky noises coming up to speed, it is accessible in about 4-7 seconds if it has timed out.

The drive is noisy
A lot of drives are, but this is more about enclosure dampening of sound
It has rubber feet for standing up, but it’s 2x louder standing (if not more)
If you put it on a desk that is a typical ikea cheaper wood design, it will thrum, clunk and echo that sound under the desk, amplifying it
Laying it flat lessens the noise, and putting some foam pads under it helps
Some people buy these on sale to shuck for cheaper storage
They are good for that and probably better than using the included enclosure sound wise
Overall good drive, minus 2 stars for very bad (loud) enclosure design. Especially since these are more consumer marketed

Like all products that I have purchased from Best Buy, I buy with confidence. This product is well reviewed by experts at Best Buy. I also enjoy the fact that if something goes wrong, a Best Buy tech will take care of me. This product is working great, and I will continue to purchase from Best Buy.

i was running low on my tree m.2 4TB SSD's but man this HDD saved me on storage but be aware your PC will take away 2TB of space from the 20TB drive for backups and the drive will say 18.1TB not and 20TB but over all seagate never fails me.

I got this so that I could consolidate many smaller external hard drive data. The large capacity has made it easy and transfering infirmation was a breeze.
