Excellent hard drive

So far this has been a great purchase. I can't hear it spinning and there are no errors in the SMART report. I put it in an external HD enclosure to use as a backup for my NAS. Excellent price.

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Not sure

fairly loud best in Computers & Accessories

This is one of the noisiest mechanical drives I've ever used, but the 256MB cache is great. I noticed a big difference in load times after installing all my files

Pros
  • Excellent Design
Cons
  • Frequency

High quality used discs

Storage with the best value for money. These are definitely enterprise drives, so they're not as quiet as consumer drives. The seller initially sent fewer discs than ordered but left the rest for me when I contacted him.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Long wait

I can't buy a refurbished product - it's a tape measure

These drives only lasted 2 months. Loud like a tractor. Then came the bad sectors. I do not advise anyone to buy updated garbage.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Fading

Please be careful!: Internal Hard Drives

I purchased this item about a month before writing this review. When I ordered the CD there weren't many reviews but they were all 4 and 5 stars so I was like what can go wrong? Those were my famous last words. I have many small hard drives that I have accumulated over the years and filled with irreplaceable photos and videos. I bought this Seagate drive to combine them and after transferring 6TB of data I couldn't access the drive at all. Yes. Years full of precious memories are gone. Simply…

Pros
  • Looking forward to
Cons
  • Appearance
