    A no brainer, I have been a fan of this brand for many years. I find this product stable, a good value, especially when on sale, and exceeds my expectations for all the data and storage requirements I need.

    I edit videos on Youtube and recently converted to a 4k camera. I needed a bigger hard drive for storage. This one does everything I need. It was basically plug and play.

    Seagate = security and value

    After a lot of searching and comparing, this was the best bang for the buck in terms of price for 24tb. So far it's been perfect, which is to be expected from Seagate anyway, but being assured backup files are safe is the most important thing. With Seagate, it's the safest decision you can make.

    Few weeks of usage - using as a physical backup of last resort for the home server which I also backup to the cloud my ZFS raid. Reformatted the drive as ext4 to preserve Linux permissions and had no issues with that - the backup of last resort is just using rsync with a snapshot weekly.

    It is NOT 24 TB. Only 21.8 TB.

    I have no issue with the item itself. What I do have an issue with is that it is advertised as 24 TB, even on the box itself, and the total free space is 21.8 TB, which is 2.2 TB less than advertised. And no, there is not stuff preloaded that takes up 2.2 TB. The files on it already take up 31.5 MB of space.

    Seemed slow to finish transfers from smaller 8TB drives but I'm not sure the issue wasn't with the old drives. Not very noisy by my standards. Added 20 TB so far, no problems. I don't recall if it arrived EXFAT or not, but I converted to that format anyhow.

    I use this every day. Only problem I see with it and it's because of it's size, is the spin up and waiting for it to be fully available for use.
