I will say that this hard drive is very user friendly, especially considering I have never built a PC in my life, and am slowly going through upgrading the one I bought from Newegg years ago. I was able to find a YouTube video of a hard drive installation from the same company and it translated super easily to this one.

This is a perfect HDD for any of your needs. Gaming, Video, Music, Photos and more. Seagate BarraCuda 3TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5” Hard Drive. 3TB of storage for a great value. 6Gb/s Interface Optimizes Burst Performance; 64MB Cache Instant Secure Erase for Safe Drive Retirement.

Fast delivery. Easy setup the hard drive and it works well.

Non so far

these where my first 12 tb disk ever in my life ands im just starting into NAS storage

I'm running two of these in a RAID 1 setup on a NAS4Free box and have had absolutely zero issues with either of the drives. The first drive was purchased shortly after they were released and the second one just last month. For the current price of the drives the features you get are hard to beat. I'm not concerned about having a 7200rpm drive just to squeeze out that extra few MB/s on file transfers, what I am concerned with is power consumption, noise and overall reliability and WD Red drives offer this.

flawless so far. I bought 2 of these for a FreeNAS, been running 24/7 for 2 months now with out a hint of trouble. Drives are quiet when operating, the case fans make more noise than the drives.

Big Best bang for buck value Quiet. I've read reviews whining about noisy hard drives in NAS boxes. My NAS is currently on my desk. I can hear the drive working but they are not loud.


No bad sector Works as advertised Competitive price (paid 200$) for the capacity (8TB)


Good capacity and pretty quite even under load.

240+MiB/s sequential write speed while connected to a USB3 dock. Came very well packaged.

Works great (so far). 200MB/s throughout with my other red nas pro drive.

Update: New drive works great; I have about 2OTB stored and filed away for safe keeping. back to 5 stars, fast replacement turnaround.

(I delayed this review until I had extensive experience with the item.) Works great! installation was straightforward, product was new and under full warranty, as verified on the Seagate website, providing 200Mbps data transfers. Delivery was timely as well.

8tb hard drive that works

2 tb 7200 rpm

Huge capacity, very fast

Lots of storage
