Great value for the overall cost

I bought 2 of these drives to run inside a home theater PC case. I could always here the previous drives (WD) spinning. These slow spinning Seagate drives are just what I wanted. Very quiet and the temps stay very low. I run these drives using Intel SATA RAID 1 off the motherboard controller. No problems after 40 days of heavy use copying 50GB files to and fro.

4 tb = 7200 rpm, nice cache size too, 4 heads on the platter means that the i/o is always flashing

I received a bare "OEM" drive, as I would expect based on the description. You too will receive no cables, or any software, but that is OK. Seagate makes drive installation easy with Seatools that you can download for free from their site and run on a USB stick or burn to CD/DVD media. The drive itself is 3.5" form factor, the dimensions and other basic specifications are listed here. its 2TB unformatted, so just like your file cabinet could hold 2 million or trillion pages without folders, this could hold its full 2TB, but to work right it needs formatting for the system its installed in, so you end up with around 1.81TB of useable space on a Windows system. Its advanced 4K clusters, when the drive natively stores data it has to store them in segments, and for years drives and Operating Systems used smaller segments. Since data has grown, storage size needed to grow, and smaller segments were not efficient. Its Sata III interface, which allows for higher burst data rates, but is not saturated by the drive's read and write capabilities. Speed. The main factor in many purchasing choices. Multiple passes of HD Tune Pro shows the following. Read 212MBps Peak uncached. Average 156MBps uncached Lowest 122MBps uncached. Burst 212MBps uncached Average seek time was around 13-14ms, lower than advertised. I mention uncached, as that is the speed of the heads writing and writing to the platters, not using the 64MB of buffer or cache memory. It shows what the drive is truly capable of. With the buffer enabled the cached read/write speed varies depending on what is already in the buffer for files, but it was between 200 and 320MBps. Filling the Que length up to 32 showed the drives 64MB of cache and logic was well matched up, the drive never stalled even when performing reads and writes of a mix of mismatched small 1Kb and 64Kb files. the drive exhibited no noise beyond what I would consider normal in operation and wake. It was running much cooler than the 750GB drive it replaced. All in all it is a solid product.*

I had a problem with an order but this seller worked with me to address the issue appropriately and in a fast manner. I was very pleased with their customer service and will definitely do more business with them in the future. I had a great experience.

Reliable Low costFast enough when its not trying to run windows

Been using it about a month now, no problems to report. My previous product and RMA experiences with Seagate have been very positive, so with the 5-year warranty I'm willing to pay the premium even though it's for a home PC. Speedy enough for a mechanical drive, can't really complain. The big cache apparently does help.

- Pretty quiet for a enterprise drive - Enterprise quality - Easily recognized by BIOS and Windows - GPT formatting was painless and quick. Resulting space is 2.72tb

Plugged right in, formatted to GPT on Windows 8.1 No Problems thus far. I'm using this as storage so it seems to be doing well so far.

Shipping was much faster than expected

Simply works and has a lower failure rate (for me) compared to Seagate's purple/surveillance drives. I use around 30 of these at work for >50 HD IP cameras and two NAS racks and the most commonly replaced ones are Seagate and WD Red drives. For some reason the purple WD's last longer and appear to run cooler. These have no issues replacing 4TB reds in a RAID 6 or RAID 10 array.

Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty
