Reviews around ship (4.55 of 5)

  • This review is for the product (which I had to repurchase from Best Buy) and not the shipping.
  • I got it for a great price and of course, you cannot beat the 2 day free shipping.
  • Great product and prices with super fast shipping times - I would definitely buy from this seller again in the future
  • Delivery was a little slow, so my advice spring for the faster shipping methods when the purchase is either worth the difference or its not that much to choose from because the cheapest is the slowest!
  • I can only guess Seagate has shipped these units bare .Dont waste the extra $ 20.00, order the ST4000DX001 for #149.99 instead.

Reviews around buy (4.45 of 5)

  • No complaints at all, if you're looking for something in the 2TB range this is a great buy
  • Good hardrive, only problem was it didn't come with a bracket, but thats not a huge deal, great buy though.
  • I bought this internal 3.5" drive from a best buy on May 5, 2012
  • Yes, I've had at least one of these drives die, but I've bought LOTS of hard drives from various manufacturers and have had some bad luck with ALL of them
  • This review is for the product (which I had to repurchase from Best Buy) and not the shipping.

Reviews around performance (4.31 of 5)

  • Great performance for a conventional drive in a size unavailable in an SSD
  • so it doesn't continue to blue screen and return I/O errors.
  • I have had periodic episodes of very slow performance for about a year now, where the disk usage shows as 100% continuously, in spite of a very low read/write rate.
  • Recommend to anyone looking for a good hard drive with a little something extra performance wise and plenty of space.
  • Excellent drive, good performance, and has been very reliable.

Reviews around expect (3.80 of 5)

  • I love Seagate drives and I love seeing 5.5T available in one internal mount point on a home computer.
  • But the 1T filled up quickly, and SSD drives HATE to have little or no room left on them -- they get revenge in really horrible, unpredictable ways
  • So far the drive is working perfectly as expected, and shows much improved performance from the WD 1TB rotational drive it replaced
  • What's not to love about a Seagate hard drive and 6T.
  • Order was on time, in perfect condition, and works as expected.

Reviews around speed (3.48 of 5)

  • , read speed is very fast, and the available 4 TB of space is very welcome
  • Through much research I have discovered that these drives have advanced power management that will cause the head to park itself and slow down the speed of the hard drive to save energy
  • The slowest speed of this this drive around 167MB/s is the fastest speed for the older 4TB as you can see
  • I think that you should save up for that if you want a good speed and can't afford the money for a SSD I would get this or get the 10K
  • It is being used a a backup boot drive, so speed is not that important for it's application.

  • I love Seagate drives and I love seeing 5.5T available in one internal mount point on a home computer.

Reviews around hole (1.00 of 5)

  • The missing screw hole is the middle one which is needed for the bracket
  • runs about 6C hotter i.e. 37C at load vs 31C for 4TB drive.#2 missing holes in the middle of drive for mounting so may be a problem for some
  • so it doesn't continue to blue screen and return I/O errors.
  • In my case, the recommended method of mounting drives into the nas bays (ReadyNAS 204) involves a plastic clip that can only be used in the presence of these missing standard screw holes, so I had to mount it differently (which, for the record, is entirely possible and easy with this NAS, but don't count on that being universally true).
  • These drives are missing threaded holes for mounting it in a case!

Reviews around chirp (1.00 of 5)

  • It can cause a chirping/squeaking sound and also has the potential to shorten the life of the hard drive due to increased load/unload cycles
  • If you go to forums(dot)seagate(dot)com and search on 'chirp', you'll find that a number of 1TB - 3TB Seagate SATA drives of more recent vintage, all chirp.

Reviews around click (1.00 of 5)

  • One drive completely stopped working and the other started a very loud clicking noise
  • Impossibly long boot time, OS hung up, every click took 5 minutes, etc
  • But to me, If you've ever heard another brand hard drive clicking and humming away inside a computer case, then you'll appreciate the quietness of a Seagate.

Reviews around wd (1.00 of 5)

  • I bought 3 of these December 2014 (I don't trust WD to store my data after 3 drive failures in a year) they are running in software RAID 5 on a Poweredge 2950
  • I had a WD 4TB Black internal desktop drive (WD4003FZEX) that slowed down from an average write rate of 170MB/s to
  • a new system build.i was real surprized on how quiet these drives are, and there are fast when you remember to remove the 150 gb limit jumper.normaly i use wd raptor hard drives but decided to try somthing
