Have to admit I was wary of purchasing a used hard drive, but because the specification matched exactly what i trying to replace it was worth a try. Glad I did in this case as it fitted exactly into place as a back up to my CCTV system and it self installed and formatted immediately. Had the system back up and running in under 20 minutes.

I bought this hard drive 10 months ago as additional storage, the product at first seemed perfect, and I was using it as a data dump for my movies and tv shows, sadly a few days ago, it has crashed. Typically such drives can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. The machine I used has the same model of drive, has ran for 9 years with no issues, it could be that I was just unlucky.

As a normal PC user who uses hard drives as something needed to just be in place and work as well as other hard drives, and not a massive reviewer for magazines and trade adverts, the Barracuda does its job. It is quiet, it is faster than some of my previous drives (but it is new and hasn't been filled with fragmented data left over from previous use) and I would hope it is going to stay reliable. The questions asked to give a star rating contains the question "Is it reliable" How can a new user be expected to answer that when it is only a couple of months old?Perhaps I will re-evaluate the four star rating in a year or two when the question of reliability can be assessed. What else can be said about a Hard Drive? It works and is fairly quiet and that is all as it is just another Hard Drive, one of many on the market at the same or similar price. FOLLOW UP INFORMATION This HDD lasted untilOctober 2020, just over 3 years use as the main drive on a PC that is on and used 16+ hours every day. That is over 20400 hours of use. Is that reliable? I would say it is and add that it is one of the best so far to be on for that many hours. Most of my previous drives have never made it past 2 years before they started to give me trouble. I still use Barracuda drives as backup drives and for major storage of photos and books but my new Portus Digital All-in-one uses SSD's so I don't think I will be buying so many discs in future.Read full review

Seagate Hard Drive, Good product, Good price and very good service. I've used it in conjunction with a security camera system, very simple to install, just plug in, format and go. I'm very pleased, however it's not as quiet as I had anticipated, but I can live with that.

Excellent HDD been running for 1 year now and never had any problems. I have windows running on a SSD and use this for my games and recording them to place on my YouTube channel. 2Tb is more than enough to keep me from losing space currently have 1.07 still free. Games are becoming so big now that I only have my most favorites games installed (32 games for now) Likes of ARMA3 54GB alone and the Witcher III is just under 50GB. Thanks from Kipland Kinkill

It does everything i need and a bit extra. Very quiet and nicely quick. It's like that cringe inducing old 90's TV advert states...." It does exactly what it says on the tin ", and this item is no different, except you can't varnish wood with it.

Although this product is at the moment slightly left behind by the increasing data volume of the new hard drives, not to mention the SSD drives, it is still not what you would expect from this product. A company as seagate should have developed a much better product. There also seems to be a 2Tb drive that has 32gb SSD built inside of it, however this cannot be found anywhere, which is a shame.
I was always a fan of Seagate drives but this one has failed after just 17months, so not impressed. Bought Oct 2019, failed March 2021.
