BEST SELLERS

In Desktop Internal Hard Drives

The drives worked despite the packaging. They all passed the exercise process that takes days. Great system NAS drives

Seagate does make some great drives and this one is no exception. Even though it’s only a 5900RPM drive it works like a dream. For beginners you can use the Seagate tool provided on their site for using the whole 4tb drive at once but this tool only splits the drive in two so the OS can see and read the whole drive. This kind of annoys me because I like having the one drive show up once not in two different sections. So I formatted the drive to a GPT drive instead of a MBR. This allows the OS to read the whole drive at once. I've never noticed performance differences between the two so you won’t have to worry there. I had a media server that was running out of space so this was the perfect drive to put in that server. I have over 20 people a day using this server at any given time and since it’s a test server I figured why not put a test drive in it. The average read write performance I saw from this drive was around low 40Mbs read and high 30Mbs for write. The drive works great. Good job Seagate!

Lorex DVR D841. Power down, remove original 2TB drive. Place this 8TB drive into the chassis, connect, power up - verify storage - done. An easy upgrade. Smooth - no unexpected issue.

Extremely fast for a HDD. Very quiet after initial start-up. Still going strong after 6 years of use and being shipped around the world several times times.

The 6 TB version seemed like the best balance between price, size, performance and noise / heat. This is going in a 4 bay NVR which is in a very quiet environment. So far, these drives seem much quieter than the 7200rpm version (during seek) which are being swapped out 1 at a time to allow the RAID rebuilds to catch up. Temps are 10C lower than the 7200 pro version. (37C vs. 47-49C per SMART data.)

Purchased in 2016 and still running

I needed two 20Tb Hard Drives for a computer I was building and Newegg was the only supplier that had them in stock and ready to go. Not only that, but their price was better than the others, including That one that starts with an A. From now on, Newegg is the first place I will shop for computer components.

Inexpensive and optimized for the targeted application, surveillance DVR/NVRs (CCTV camera recorders). I have yet to encounter a faulty drive of probably 50 or so purchased so far, not to mention another 50 or so Purple drives that were factory installed in the Hikvision recorders we sell. Western Digital's warranty support is good, though I have yet to send them a Purple (last two drives I had replaced were RE enterprise SATA)

Able to handle up to 64 cameras. unfortunately I'm unable to tax it that high as my setup only has 6 cameras. My setup is also motion detected so I had to set up something to keep moving 24/7 so I could really test this drive to its potential. It passed with superbly flying performance. I mean like the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds performing at the same time. I'm sure adding more cameras to it would not slow it down in the least or drop off its performance factors. This drive is designed for 24/7 use and streaming so I left my motion setup on for 3 full days to verify it did indeed pass with flying colors. Coming with a very nice 3 year warranty means if it does fail (which I doubt) I'm covered by the peace of mind that I wont be paying for a new drive for at least 3 years. Western Digitals customer service is superior to any I have ever dealt with.

All 5 worked straight out of the box. Very fast. I was glad to see that WD used their tried and true 800gb platters for this drive. None have failed so far..........

Raid certified 24/7 operation. Whisper quiet with low temperatures. Very good transfer speeds and lots of storage space.
