Reviews around buy (5.00 of 5)

  • Need additional hard drive space, then these units are a good buy and work well
  • Need additional hard drive space, then these units are a good buy and work well
  • Seeing as Seagate drives have the second lowest failure rate of any drive manufacturer as derived from a statistically sound population sample, the drive's low failure rate made this an easy buy.
  • Since they said it'd be no problem, I felt comfortable buying this.
  • I was hoping to exchange it for another (like Best Buy would do!), but not through Amazon

Reviews around deal (4.31 of 5)

  • Do yourself a BIG favor, and get a Western Digital or HGST drive as they will honor from DATE OF PURCHASE.This is the last Seagate drive i will ever purchase again.
  • It's the best deal I found on a 4TB hard drive, and so far it's working as expected.
  • I am glad I found someone who provided me with a good deal
  • Would highly recommend a backup drive to this one as in a mirrored RAID configuration.
  • They do eventually fail after a couple of years of daily use, but if you do your backups regularly, no big deal

Reviews around speed (4.30 of 5)

  • 7200RPM drive, but speeds are still decent and it's primarily used for games that I'm not concerned about the load time as well as video storage
  • Great storage, speed i'd love from a hard drive, and plus it stays cool
  • It started telling me I had "Reallocated Sector Count" as I was trying to transfer all my files (about 2 Terabytes) the transfer speed slowed to a crawl and then my PC said the Hard Drive was no longer there
  • After looking at the drive for a while it seems that it can read and write at good speeds but only for a few nano seconds at a time
  • In summary - five star drive with great speed considering it isn't a hybrid flash/spinning drive

Reviews around ship (4.24 of 5)

  • Email them to send me the static bag and shipping haven't got a response
  • quietness).Thanks to All Computer Parts for a fair price ($74) and fast shipping.

Reviews around performance (3.95 of 5)

  • good performance, gives me 3.6TB of available space in Windows.
  • This hard drive is not worth the money as it dies in less than a year
  • These work great, decent read/write speeds and just all around solid performance
  • Another caveat would be applicable to using any large single-spindle storage; performance suffers under a load of mixed read-write or random-access requests.
  • It is recognized by Windows Device Manager but Disk Management can't do anything because of an i/o error

Reviews around hdd (3.42 of 5)

  • Fortunately, my HDD only had games from Steam and Origin on it when it failed so I can just redownload those whenever I get a new one
  • Error is either in the OS, which I highly doubt because it recognizes everything else, or the HDD is defective
  • No complaints here as long as it proves to be a reliable HDD in the future as well.
  • Its a fast little HDD, faster then the 3TB i have for my Xbox
  • And in a couple of weeks the second HDD failed the same way
