Doing LLM training and needed to use a 35TB training file and 3TB validation file. Used 3 of these drives to create a RAID 0 drive with approx 54TB capacity. (this is on Ubuntu and formatted with XFS file system since usual EXT4 tops out at about 16TB file size.) Works great and much faster than a single drive would be due to the striping of RAID 0.


Good drive, been running strong in a mirror array for 1 year now solid. I know its a bit early to post a rave review but no problems at all.



Got this computer up and running with this hard drive - got it for another computer and than the hard drive crashed on this one ( IT WAS A mediamax ) just quit !!

Preforms as expected.

- A little faster than a 5400 RPM drive - Quiet, reliable and cool running - Lots of storage space (I use these drives for video storage and backups) - Economical (especially if you catch it on a deep sale) - about 0.015 cent cost per gigabyte - Shipping was fast - it arrived a day early! - I now have 3 of this model and will probably get at least one more in the future. - MOST IMPORTANTLY - It is a CMR (NOT SMR) drive

Works great and fast

Drive arrived from newegg via ups unscathed. Benchmarks run via HD Tune and Crystal Disk Mark Raw performance HD Tune: Read Average: 125.4 Megabytes/s Read Burst: 255 Megabytes/s Write Average: 123 Megabytes/s Write Burst: 230 Megabytes/s Crystal Disk Mark Read: 207 Megabytes/s Write: 171 Megabytes/s Looking at the raw single drive performance it is pretty solid for a standard hard drive. The features that come with the drive, designed for 24/7/365 operation and 5 year warranty are very appealing. If they live up to the expectation then this drive is worth the extra cost. While I can't comment on the potential for raid performance, it can be assumed that the drives would handle raid admirably.

fast shipping for a 3rd party

Lots of Space.

Huge hard drive! Drive works flawlessly and did so right out of the box. Drive is fast too. Sturdy construction, feels very solid and heavy duty. Plugged into my home security DVR system and it worked perfectly without any special format and registered all the available storage space imidiataly. It's a Seagate which have always been reliable in my experience.

This is such a quiet drive 5 cameras record 24/7 and it doesn't bat an eye


18tb of storage is great

It is a HDD for a surveillance system. It does what it is supposed to do.
