    I've used Seagate drives for many years, and only one had an issue with bad sectors. I purchased two of these to be used as data drives in two SSD-based PCs. The drives are fast, quiet, and they have (hopefully) the IronWolf reliability on which many servers depend. Only slightly more expensive than their desktop counterparts, these drives are definitely worth it to me.

    Have purchased this exact drive multiple times over the years and it has never failed me. Definitely the best bang for the buck out there in terms of speed, size, noise, reliability, and brand recognition.

    Although this hard drive cost more than Baricuta model, the added reliability and technology makes the cost difference worth it.

    I use HDDs in my machines for downloads, large files, and general long-term storage. This particular HDD is of superior quality, definitely meets my expectations. It’s also noticeably quieter than other HDDs I’ve purchased in the past. I recommend this product!

    I've had a long history with Seagate drives over the last 15+ years that have kept me too cautious. While the failure rate of larger capacity drives are way lower compared to their infamous 3tb series, thes Ironwolfs are incredibly fast and sustainable. If you're concerned about lifespan (read-write cycles of the drive over a lifetime) check out Backblaze's block (cloud backup company) as they publish some interesting statistics based on their own research and industry-wide studies.

    I purchased 2 of these to use in a mirror setup in 2022. They are working wonderful so far. They store family photos and videos. Being spinning disks, the speed is limited, though reasonable. Because they are primarily for archival purposes, they do exactly what I need and run fast enough. The item installs with SATA cable. Windows recognizes as 7.26GB. 7,993,335,717,888 bytes.
