Pros: none, would not run.
Cons: Will not run
Overall Review: Would not spin up as only replacement drive in a dell Vostro. Must be to much power draw but this should not happen.
Pros: - Cheap
Cons: - Reliability questionable.
Overall Review: I bought three of these 2TB HDD and after installing all of the one of the three failed in about two days. Now, I am worrying about the information on the other two HDD and expect them to fail soon. Scary feeling when using them as backup disks. I do not recommend these products.
Pros: It...did its job while it *did* work?
Cons: Died far sooner than it should have.
Overall Review:
I got this when I was just starting my current build more or less as a placeholder until I had some money saved up to get my upgrade components. I had purchased a Seagate Pipeline HD which worked very well (and still does to this day). This drive saw very little use outside of a go-between to hold data temporarily whenever I needed to transfer large amounts of data from one drive to another.
When I finally got the money to start swapping components for my new build, I wanted to use this drive to hold on to some data that I would be transferring to my EVO 970 Plus. I started the copy and left for work, only to come home to see that the transfer had failed after just a few gigs. Trying again it failed about five minutes later and a Windows notification popped saying that Windows was configuring new hardware. This would repeat on and off frequently until Windows would finally just say there was an error reading the drive and stop. The frequency of this occurring made me think I had a shot SATA cable on my hands, so I switched it for another one. Same problem.
Switching these same cables to my old Hitatchi 1TB proved that assumption incorrect as they worked fine with it (I am actually using both these cables for that same Hitatchi and the Pipeline in fact). I cleaned the contacts on the drive, but this didn't help.
At this point, I'm not sure what the issue could be, but I assume the PCB since it doesn't seem to have any issues actually reading or writing as it still does so at normal rates, it just can't solidly connect. Regardless of the cause; this shouldn't be happening in such a short time frame. Thankfully I didn't lose any data because of this, but this is unacceptable.
Pros: - Price was reduced since they were known to be flakey...
Cons:
- Bought two 7 years ago; both died at the same point
- I have much older drives working perfectly fine still ..
- These things are notoriously bad
Overall Review: DO NOT BUY. There's been lawsuits over these drives. Failure rate is insane. I thought I was one of the lucky ones until now - not worth the frustrations in the end.
Pros: -Reliable (for 5 years)
Cons: -Slow speeds especially under initial startup
Overall Review: Installed this 5 years ago on my PC and I've had absolutely no problems with it since installation. This HDD can be slow at times and when the system or a virus scan is using disk space other programs suffer in speed. For the price and space provided I would recommend this HDD.
Overall Review: Broken on site. Wouldn’t recommend.
Pros: Lots of space for files or pictures.
Cons: None
Overall Review: Again best HDD for the money are Seagate drives. Used for many years with no problems.

Overall Review: A good middle of the road hard drive, not much else to say
