It's a big fast hard drive
Very fast delivery, it reads and writes a lot of data very quickly.
Can't think much more to say.

Quiet HDD
As a precaution I installed this into my iMac to replace the existing HDD that was working fine but as its 7 years old I figured it was only a matter of time before it was likely to start to have aging problems. Quick delivery from FAST and very well packaged indeed.
Replacement was very straightforward. I also incorporated an in-line temperature sensor to ensure the fan control system would be fine too. This HDD is as quiet as the one it replaced - almost completely inaudible. I also installed a SSD at the same time and wanted a fresh OS install. Booting from a USB with the fresh OS, that was installed on the SSD then I connected the old HDD via a SATA-USB cable with power supply and in about 3 hours transferred 750GB of data and apps across to the new drive. All works perfectly.

Does what it is supposed to
I have always used Seagate 'Mechanical' Hard disks and found them to be reliable and long lasting.

Its a mid-priced hard disk
Bought to replace a failed disk in my NAS array. There are probably better disks for the job, but couldn't afford those for now. It's early days but it seems to be performing as expected.

Perfect - Great Value!
Perfect for expanding the storage capacity of my build beyond the 500GB M.2 SSD I have. Highly recommended for this purpose.

Great Drive. Does exactly what you would expect.
No problems whatsoever with Seagate Barracuda drives. Replaced my 8 year old 1TB drive with a new 2TB version.
