Seagate - 3TB Internal Serial ATA Hard Drive for Desktops

Hi i got this drive for extra storage for a back up of my machine it's worth getting not only for space but with it's Eco-friendly power saving it goes into standby mode to save on electricity and with that it's not always running creating heat making a extra fan not necessary and alot less power consumption saving me $$ on the light bill. not to mention less stress on my psu. and the system in general and a technician in computers and electronics i definitely would use this product in my clients computers

I used it for a replacement drive that is going bad. This was the most economical one for the size I needed. Additionally, I wanted to be sure it ran at least 7300rpm vs 5300rpm. Fast enough to write efficiently with plenty of storage.

I have been a long time user of seagate drives both internally and externally and this 3 TB drive has been put to the test and has performed great. I highly recommend the Seagate internal drives they are work the money.

I bought this drive a couple weeks ago to replace a five year old 2TB Seagate drive that was accidentally damaged during a case transfer a few years back. The 2TB drive had pins missing and a piece of plastic (the sata interface guide key on the drive) broken off and even with these issues the drive not only worked but performed well for about three years while damaged. I purchased this 3TB model to transfer the files from the 2TB drive and replace it in my PC. This drive performs quite well, good read and write speeds, fast access times and it performs on par with other Seagate products I've purchased, used or worked with in the past. With very few exceptions Seagate drives have exceeded my expectations in both performance and longevity, I have only ever had to RMA a Seagate product one time in my more than two decades of computer ownership, use and repair and they were very friendly and helpful there was zero hassle with getting a replacement for the drive my friend had purchased that had a failure. If you need a solid drive with a good amount of space, exceptional customer service support and a fair price it's hard to go wrong purchasing a Seagate product. I would also like to note that my local Best Buy's staff was very helpful and friendly.

I purchased this Seagate internal drive and it has been working like a charm managing gigs and gigs of digital media.

Works great right out of the box. Very constant read and write time.
