Great backup solution
I bought a pair of these to do redundant backups of my business files and photos. They both work as expected and I'm crossing my fingers that they will continue to function years later when I want to retrieve my files.

A dependable brand of HDD
Just got around to installing this drive in a new computer.
No problems. It seems to be working just fine, as expected.
I always trust the Seagate brand.

DOA
I have bought and used this model of HD many times before but this one arrived DOA. I have been a fan of this model up to this point, but I'm not a fan of the specific drive that arrived non functioning. Since this was an online purchase, I will return it and assume this was a one off failure.

Great price/value at time of my purchase.
Bought this SMR drive at a good price with a Staples promotion code. For my purposes it is good value for money. If SMR is fine for you it's a good buy.

Worth it
For that price point it's quite a steal! It works really well in my desktop and no issues so far. I do recommend only buying it when it's on sale which is around 85$ unlike the original price point of 125$.

Great product,less instructions how to install and upload, Don't get exactly 4TB.
Great product.
After installation you don't exactly because get 4TB because it has internal uploads taking space so you get less then 4TB.
More information how to install and upload in the computer would be helpful.
Otherwise works great fits in the hard drive spot perfectly with little bit adjustment because the screws are not on the right spot.

Kind of slow write speed
Found out is was Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) not Conventional Magnetic Recording (CMR), hence the slower speed in writing to the drive.

Worth of purchasing with 4TB storage
I bought this hard drive to replace the old one (1TB). It works great and no issues by far.
It is good to buy it on this sale price.

Great in my NVR
Installed in an NVR. Not what it's designed for, but it was cheap enough and works great. I haven't noticed it being loud as others have mentioned, but admittedly, I'm rarely near it. Served my purpose, at 4TB for less than $100, you can't go wrong.
