    Great Hard Drive

    Great hard drive, hampered by poor business practices of Best Buy. They had these on a flash sale, but I could not order online. I chatted with Best Buy rep and he said they were sold out, yet an hour after the flash sale ended, they had plenty in stock again. Coincidence? I think not...

    These hard drives are reliable and long lasting. Im using two in a synology NAS, and they work great for that. Currently have a setup with Jellyfin

    This is faster and twice the capacity and warranty of the NAS drive it replaces. So far, works like a charm!

    Big for the price and pretty fast. I'd prefer a raid, but it comes with data recovery services.

    Fast (7200rpm), relatively cheap, and a decent warranty. Some reviews have mentioned it's noisy, but it's been pretty quiet for me thus far.

    I was able to pair this item to two existing drives in my NAS. I believe my NAS is more quiet with additional hard drive. Great addition!

    Using 2 in a IOSafe NAS that is just a hardened Synology NAS. Lots of space, holds a lot of backups from my network. Seagate HDD have always held up for me, these are doing fine so far.

    I got this for the faster write speeds and 8 TB space as my 2 TB drive is almost full. Doing a lot of video recording, I fill up hard drives quickly. It was easy to install in one of the bays of my home built PC once I found a SATA cable to use with it.

    Good drive, but Seagate and many sellers are selling the Seagate exos enterprise level NAS drives (same size, more writes/yr, 50mb/s faster read/write speeds, more energy efficient) for 80% of the price of this drive. If they offered it at Best Buy, I'd have swapped for it immediately. Tldr Seagate offers a WAY better drive for less, but this does it's job at least

    I use 8 of these for ZFS, and used 8 of the 4 TB variant of this drive before, I've had a couple die on me over the years, nothing out of the ordinary (and that's why you use redundant setups and keep backups).
