This is probably the best and most expensive hard disk drive I have ever bought to date--and it seems to be worth it so far. I know there are other much cheaper drives but those are notorious for failure and unreliable. Soon after receiving this hard drive, I installed it in my PC and formatted it using GPT and run benchmarks. Using ATTO Disk Benchmark, it was apparent this is also the fastest mechanical drive I have in my system even though the other ones are also rated 7200 RPM SATA III. ATTO shows fastest write of 155765 and 182196 on fastest read. That's fast for a mechanical drive! But all this would be worthless if the disk fails or have bad sectors so I used Western Digital's "Data Lifeguard Diagnostic Tool" and I run an Extended Test which took over 8 hours on this 4TB drive. Results shows absolutely no errors! But to make sure I run another 3rd party program to check again (Hard Disk Sentinel) and run another Extended Test that took 8+ more hours... same result.. NO ERRORS! Also I was able to verify using that program that this is indeed a brand new drive that hasn't been used. Temperature is also pretty good. Doing a long extended test only raised the temp to 42℃ (Ambient temp in room is 33 ℃). I have a big case though with decent ventilation.

Good speed and storage. Priced per TB when got them was decent and size was due space I have in my case. Well built and heavy.

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.

-Is a speedy drive -Hold 4tb -is indeed Sata

I purchased two of these (my NAS requires that they be installed in pairs). Seagate drives do not fail.

Good price 12gb interface Works well so far in my Adaptec raid 5

I'm rating New Egg not the product as I've not yet used the product. New Egg is my go to place for my computer stuff. I previously wrote a bad review (can't find it to change it) but it was actually for a 3rd seller which actually had a good ending. As did this purchase. I recommend New Egg.

I only use enterprise disks seagate to make sure data are safe em RAID





-Fast shipping -Works out of the box -New Product -Silent operation (Can't understand what other buyers are talking about) -Reads and writes at 215MB/Sec vs s similar capacity Western Digital Green HDD that only reads and writes up to 100MB/s. Nothing compared to my Samsung 970 Evo NVME SSD that reads and Writes at 2,000+MB/s but so far solid, silent and simple to install.
