This 4T hard drive is perfect for what I need. It should hold plenty of storage, so I can go on vacation and be covered to watch over things.
It's a great price to have piece of mind.

Staying ahead of the criminals

Consistently good performance from these drives

Seagate Hard Drives

W item

Plugged in to the SATA cables and it worked perfectly off the bat. And just in time too as a another drive in my rig has been getting weak and now appears ready to fail.

Very good, very speedy.

Great price and Seagate reliable.
I use this as inexpensive storage for my SSD drive.

Affordable and Reliable

Good

Very pleased with this product. Item arrived quick and I have had ZERO issues with it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably priced HDD

Good product

A great deal on this much storage and from a brand I?ve never had issue with. Safely packaged and appear to be in working order.

For my photo archive

Great Product for my wedding video business. Thanks!

Great product

10/10 Review for this product! 

1. Package came in a day early (inner nerd was excited) 

2. The box didn?t seem like it was dropped kicked 

3. The package came in a thick anti-static bag which you?ll be surprised how many other companies don?t do that 

4. The contents were in a secured shipping position so no rattling around at all and lots of bubble wrap

5. It booted right up and have been using for about two months and no problems what so ever

6. Has enough storage room of 2TB on it to store 1 HD photo of a fat chick with a great read rate

7. Will order this product again but get the 4TB next time

Works as expected, great purchase for my first pc

As expected

Works perfect and you won?t be disappointed with the drive

Good hard drive for the price

Plugged into Xbox. Worked like a champ. Faster loading than internal hard drive.

Xbox compatible

Easy

Seems to work well, great speed, and not too expensive.

It’s as expected, works well.

This product was easy to install and has been working great since, definitely the extra storage!

Good product and easy install

Very dependable and fast. New, slim design makes it light and easty to store when not in use.

Great Product

It’s a great hard drive. Holds much stuff !

Good reliable drive

A good HDD for cold storage.
Should be used for photos or other infrequently accessed stuff where speed does not matter. Get an SSD where speed matters

nice HDD

Easy installation. Ran a full format that took 7 1/2 hours. No bad sectors.
Excellent and affordable large scale storage.
Write performance is good too. Wrote two disc images totaling over 500 GB in 37 minutes. Far out performs the old HDD storage disk that I had.

Excellent large scale storage at a good price

This is just what I wanted. I'm using these for backing up my external drives, so nothing complex, but it's all I need. I've only had them for a couple of weeks, so I can't say anything about their longevity. And I wish they came in some kind of case so I could store them.

Great for Backups

I definitely recommend 10/10 and have actually recommended to my buddy who wants to build his own computer. It’s a great drive that has a lot of storage for a really competitive price. It is very compact and fit perfectly in my pc case. The only thing I’d dislike about it is that I wish both of the SATA cables were the same in regards to the connection part being both flush with the cable. One of the SATA cables is arched in a way to I guess be easier to mount in harder spots, but for me was more of a burden. Overall I love this drive and am very happy with my purchase!

Buy this Drive!!!

Shipped speedily and safely, easy to plug and play, and now an extra 2TB of fast non-SSD hard drive space. No complaints at all!

Easy to install, fast, and good price.

Excellent hard drive for the money. Would most definitely purchase again.

great product

So far the seagate drive is functioning wonderfully.   it is VERY VERY fast.  almost as fast as my SSD.   i am very pleased with it so far.

Seagate Drive.

Product was just as described. Installs easily and works well.

Product Was Just As Described!

Received the product I requested.  The representative was courteous and very helpful. He knew the product and was able to answer all my questions.

Superb service

I have been looking for a source for medium capacity 7200 RPM drives for production and archiving. This item really fits the bill. for 99 I can get 4 tbs when ever in need more for archiving large amounts of video tape based footage.

Solid brand, great price per TB

BarraCuda 4TB is 7200RPM. It's good performance for storage and App drive. I have M2 SSD for main OS drive and core apps and this BarraCuda 4TB is used for App  and storage as making 2 partitions.

Great price and 4TB big capacity is Good to buy.

Stable, good performance, and great price with capacity

It's thinner than the previous drive I was using, the ST4000DM005, so it does not sit right in my HDD dock (Thermaltake BlacXDuet). Very loose once inserted so not comfortable with using it in a dock.
