- Would highly recommend checking your Event Viewer for System errors. Filter on Event ID = 7. - Do NOT back all your important data onto this drive unless you have a mirror array or ANOTHER backup!

- Big drive; cheap under $100

- Had to use SeaTools to initialize drive (a sign it was a bad drive) - Started getting "Bad Block" errors 7 days after light use - Errors progressively got worse

Thankfully I bought the 3TB version of this drive as a storage drive for misc stuff that's already backed up on externals. It runs like a tortoise and write speeds are just insulting. Shoulda learned to stay away from this company after my Free Agent died years ago and nearly lost me all of my data.

I bought two of these a couple of years back to use in a mirrored configuration. Both failed, one within a year and the second within two years, just now at time of review. Fortunately I was able to replace the first immediately to restore the mirror and also kept other backups...

I use these in my NAS, I know they are desktop rated, but my NAS has clocked up 32500 hrs wirhout and bad blocks Seagate just make seriously good hard drives, the only brand for me

I bought one and it has been shipped back, then the replacement was bad. My hard drive so far the first 30 days has spent more time with USPS than at my house. Look for another brand.

Purchased 3 of these for additional storage to accompany an M.2 - great value for money, and decent performance thus far.

This is NOT a 2.5" drive - it's 3.5". Don't buy from Scan either because it will be your fault that you came from here.

3.5 inch

This is excellent. It is just what I hope for, and it works extremely well. I have it on a very fast external connector hooked to my Mac Pro, and I use it to backup files when I want to reduce my storage.

Bought 2x Year 2013. One broke down after exactly two years. The second broke down last week, after about 4.5 years. It was not so that they "hated" that they were going to hang out, for example. through SMART, clicking noise, chkdsk or other. Both of them only two quarters. Never more Seagate.

Its chip and value of money i buy Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA Internal Hard Drive and the experience is very cool. - now i have a lots of space. - very easy to install. - after installing Seagate Barracuda 2TB Desktop SATA Internal Hard Drive my desktop running smoothly.
