Cost effective for an SATA III 6.0 7200 RPM drive. Slim design measuring just over three quarters of an inch thick ensures it will fit in most all desktop cases. Runs cool and quiet under medium duty use for me. For the price these are great drives for just about any machine. Would also work great for a small NAS setup, or even installed in a portable USB case for external storage if need be. This SATA 6.0 drive is also backwards compatible with older motherboards with earlier SATA (II) 3.0 or SATA (I) 1.5 ports. However, the maximum speed of the drive will be slower due to the lower speed limitations of the port. For those that may need some help when replacing/upgrading an older drive/system, check out the Seagate DiscWizard software available on their site for free. DiscWizard lets you quickly install your new disc drive with wizards that guide you through the processes of creating and formatting partitions on your disc drive, transferring data, and backing up your data. On Seagate’s web site this software can be found under the Support/Software & Apps section along with full instructions. Seagate also offers two larger drives in this Series, the 2TB 7200RPM with 64MB Cache, and the 3TB 7200RPM with 64MB Cache. At these prices its worth spending a little more for the larger capacity drives they offer, so check them out if you need more storage space! Bare drive comes UN-formatted and ready to set up, simple plug and play. Firmware Version CC46, and has a 2 year warranty.

still works day after day. good load times for gaming. (nothing like ssd but not horribly slow)

OK, so its not the baddest, the Pro edition appears to have a higher warranty but otherwise the stats seem to be the same. This drive is the biggest and fastest consumer hard drive available on the market with 16TB of storage, 7200 RPM and 256MB of cache besting their competitors by a few TB. To put this into perspective, I have entire NAS units with 4-6 disks that don't have this much storage. Performance is incredible as you would expect, rivaling the fastest speeds you will find in a HDD. Once you exceed the limits of the cache, this drive does 218/220MB/s sequential read/writes which is about 10MB/s faster than the 10TB competitor Red drive I have from WD. Overall you can't go wrong with this much storage for long-term archival or NAS storage. I can now cut down my file servers shorter term storage with this single drive and then back up to my 6x10TB NAS unit. Game changer in terms of total storage size, hopefully it lasts for a long time!!!!

So far the drive seem to be functioning well, ask again in 6 monthd

I use this in my workstation. This drive works as intended.

Have owned several of these drives. They are almost bullet proof.

just wanted to do the egg votes not write a detailed review
