Seagate Barracuda 1TB 25 SATA Internal Hard Drive
I purchased this drive to replace a Toshiba drive that had become more unstable since installation.
This drive is a much better all around product over the original drive. Improved performance and stability.

Seagate 1TB Internal Hard Drive
Your Seagate 1TB Internal Hard Drive was a quality product and the product description was accurate. Unfortunately, my computer operating system was still on Windows 7 and I was unable to determine how to load Windows 7 onto your Seagate hard drive in order to replace the old hard drive currently in my Dell computer. Therefore, I had to return the Seagate drive, so I v...

Threshold set to always passing
after being a loyal Seagate [Barracuda] customer. The Seagate drive (ST1000LMA48) did not ever perform as expected. The as my machine got slower and slower without and apparent reason I turned to the SeaChest utilities which indicated the drive was ok but looking at the output of the Sea Chest tools every read was having to retry (it did not report how many for each rea...

Still coming to an opinion
The Mylio app was a distraction and I hadn’t realised the Seagate was primarily for photos. So far I haven’t used it it is just an extra precaution for a backup drive.

Takes some getting used to
The formatting is different from my last hard drive. It's taking trial and error to figure some things out but have not completely understood everything.

New Internal Hard Drive
My laptop stopped working so I took it to Staples and their tech guy determined it needed a new hard drive. He recommended this one and installed all the necessary programs I needed to have a working laptop again. THANKS STAPLES!

PS4 replacement drive
Used to replace a faulty Sony PS4 HDD. For the price point this is a perfect replacement drive. Not only did it fix the severe lagging on my stock drive but it also added a lot of additional storage. Extremely easy to install fast quiet does what it needs to do. What else could you ask for??

Faulty?
Installed as a secondary in my laptop next to my nvme SSD it however would skip or have about a minute to five delay pause during a large file transfer multiple times. I believe it's faulty as I put a Evo 870 in it's place and it worked perfectly fine.

Works - so far so good
My three year old Toshiba stopped booting windows while installing a windows update about two years ago. I got to the point where my mobile devices were not sufficient for my day to day so I took my laptop to the geeks and it was diagnosed with a failed hard drive. After an extensive search of YT videos and customer reviews I purchased this drive and installed it mys...
