Seagate Barracuda 3 TB SATA III Serial ATA Hard Drive

Needed some more storage and I've been using seagate for years so picked this up for a good price. The drive is a bit thinner then my last one but still the same excellent quality and decent speed for a mechanical drive. Ticked all of the boxes for me. Arrived in an anti static bag inside a padded envelope which was enough to protect it. Been using it a few months now and it's running well with no issues.

It stores ALL of my games on Steam! Loading times are negligibly slower than an SSD, to the point where it's pretty much useless storing your games on an SSD which is more expensive per GB.Of course it's a hard drive and it has its limitations.If you intent to use this with tasks that require frequent read/writes of small data it can be very slow. I would recommend a hard drive for its cheap price per GB and large capacity. I recommend using it as a secondary drive, to accompany a faster medium that holds Windows and other small software. But... 3TB for this price is great and it's reliable.

Backup drive on a legacy computer. The drive behaves as it should.

I was a little cautious having read a couple of slightly negative reviews but I need not have been concerned. The drive was not initially seen by Windows 10 but after a little introduction it was fine. I carried out a surface check and the drive passed 100%. After partitioning into 2, 2TB drives I have loaded it up as a windows backup drive and a photo storage drive. All very smoothly done and no issues. Very pleased. I may now buy another 2TB drive to replace the ageing system drive. Good price for a good sized drive. All I need to do now is see how it lasts.

Ordered this drive as I was running out of space on my home PC. The first drive arrived but my system would not recognise it. After much fiddling about and testing I found the new drive was not spinning up. I sent the defective drive back via Doodle and recevied a replacement next day. This one works perfactly and was easy to install and format. Great customer service from this supplier!

Great reliable drive. I've got two and have never had any issues with noise, temperature, or even corruption. The speed is really good for a mechanical drive and holds out at a solid rates, with an average read and write speed of around 200 MB/s i would say this is great value for money!

The product arrived fast, without a box, screws or cables but I had all those from my motherboard already, it arrived with no box but was in an anti static bag which was unopened and wrapped in a more than generous amount of bubble wrap and was tightly packed in fact there was so much bubble wrap if there is a shortage in the country anytime soon I could tell you why.The hard drive installed easily and only needed to be initialised and given a drive letter once installed.

The Seagate Barracuda 1 TB Hard Drive easily replaced an 80GB Hard Drive, which had failed. The Lenovo Laptop is now performing perfectly after downloading all needed drivers from the Lenovo laptop site. Windows 10 replaced Windows XP. Now there is plenty of space on the hard drive for all the things I want to do.
