    Great amount of storage for a reasonable price. I use mine for long term backups for my dvd and blue ray collection.

    Excellent Pricing by Bestbuy - Doesnt get Hot and matches everything in the description. Must BUY if you are looking for large data storage! (especially for small files like pictures, docs etc.)

    It was a good price. The amount of TB is really good. Although it showed about 2 TB less than it should have. That seems a lot space taken up for other things. I will recheck on this later.

    Not quite as fast as i had hoped. Generate a lot of heat. Ive read the nice business class drives have been replaced with consumer models. A quick set of tools has confirmed this is a simple barracuda drive and not a enterprise class drive. This change seems to have happened around rhe new year

    Works well with no problems. The price per byte is hard to beat. Not as fast as a solid state version, but for the price and the space it's plenty fast.

    so far, so good: massive capacity drive under $300

    so far, so good - great price for a massive 24TB external hard drive, though is a bit early to tell for a storage device like this (will update this review if any problems in the future). files have been easy to transfer onto the drive, and after 2 months, haven't experienced any issues. think the main fear with any hard drive would be data corruption/loss over time, so it'll be interesting to see what these reviews look like in a few years' time - in the meantime, this drive does exactly what it says on the tin.

    Did not realize this was an optical drive until after I bought it. Despite that, the storage capacity for the price… cant pass it up.

    I have several small Seagate portable hard drives and never had a problem with them. I purchased the Seagate 24TB for all my files to back up several times a week. I haven't had any issues and only heard it wind once at the very beginning of connecting to my Apple Mac mini. No noise in the background since!

    This is working perfectly so far! It was easy to plug in and start backing up data. Hopefully this one lasts longer than the other brand I had.

    I have older Western digital hard drives, and a few Seagate drives. I needed to transfer a lot of them over to this newer unit as a back up. The transfer rate seemed a little slow, but I was transferring close to 19 TB of information. It is a good unit for back up your data. I would highly recommend having something to back up all your data and pictures and video because once they’re lost on a hard drive it is very expensive to try to recover. With the price sale that they have on this particular unit, this is an extremely good deal.

    Good price for a lot of storage. I use it for a raid array backup. Seagate provides an excellent warranty service. I know this because a drive in my array failed and Seagate backed it up with free data recovery but I opted for a drive replacement without data recovery.
