Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Internal Hard Drive HDD 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7,200 RPM 64 MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop (ST2000DM008)

Good

People are rating 1 Star for their foolish ness. Drives over 2 TB needs GPT Partitions to format properly.This is how you setup HDD over 2 TB.[IMP] - Most of the cases Windows have a Master Boot Record (MBR) as Default. It uses the standard BIOS partition table.[IMP] - GUID Partition Table (GPT) disks use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than two terabytes (TB).You can change a disk from MBR to GPT partition style as long as the disk contains no partitions or volumes.The DRIVE is only good for storage purpose and not for active read and writes. Its only 1.6 GigaBit read write.

Works as expected, no complaints yet.

I ordered this and got one which seemed faulty. My PC already had one WD 1TB SATA disk and I wanted to add one extra drive as my backup drive. The first drive that came was not working properly. I tried to troubleshoot and saw that many articles are suggesting to check the power and data cable. I knew that there is no issue with my motherboard as it is already detecting another SATA drive and all other SATA ports are enabled. So, I swapped the power and data cable without any success. I ordered a replacement, it was delivered to me on the next day; I connected to my PC with same cables and it started working like a magic. It gives you 1869 GB of effective storage, which I think is great in this price range.

The drives are very low quality. I may be one of the many customers who is having the same issue as most of the customers have of this drive. The drive worked only for a few months then it started making a click sound and drive suddenly becomes unresponsive. The drive stops reading and writing and the head is constantly making the click sound. The drive finally gave blue screen error and then a black screen appeared S. M. A. R. T. status is bad backup and replace.I gave the drive to seagate warranty but they said data recovery is not covered so lost all data and i did the RMA to seagate and returned their product and after a week they gave me a refurbished drive note that this is not a new drive but a used and repaired drive which is fit for normal use that drive was given to me as replacement which i received and installed in my pc and used it for a week and guess what happened! This drive also malfunctioned the same way as the original drive malfunctioned that too in a week only. Imagine the shock and pain you have to go through to see the drive that seagate dispatches to you after certifying it as refurbished product that too is also not reliable.Now i am currently sending this refurbished drive also for RMA to seagate warranty service becauae this also is not working. Can you believe it. The pain and stress you have to go through while backing up and restoring data twice can not be said in words. Also there is no data recovery warranty so rely on your god and luck for whatever portion of data you can backup cause if drive goes completely malfunctioned then forget whatever data you have to get back. The memories of your life that you want to cherish is all gone. All because seagate has exported really low quality products which does not seem to pass any reliability test of any type and just dumped them all to india.Very bitter experience from seagate. Never buying any storage media or any electronic product from this company.Also the packaging that was done by AMAZON and APPARIO clearly showed their ignorance regarding how a product sensitive like hard drive shoud be packed and given.The packaging was of very inferior quality and AMAZON really does not know how handle logistics of sensitive products.Never buying any seagate product for me and probably never order any eletronics good from amazon anymore. 🙅🙅🙅😠😠😠🙅🙅🙅

Poor packing. Good product.

Worth.

I purchased it in Sept 2020 for ₹4999/-Baracuda 2 TB 5400 RPM. It lasted for 4 years. It is still working, but now making thak thak sound while starting the pc and while using the disk. It may crash at anytime. I've backed the data up. PC is used in an AC room by single owner and this disk only 248 GB of 2 TB is used so far.Another internal Hard disk WD 1 TB installed in same PC is 8 years old and fully 1 TB used is working fine till now.

Bought this drive to go in my new desktop system I built. My primary drive is an M2 SSD, and this is my secondary drive for archiving. It has worked flawlessly thus far, and is super quiet. I have to say that although I know that testing tools will tell you that an SSD is much faster than a spinning hard disk, but I can't say that I see a big difference in read/write times between my M2 SSD and this Seagate hard drive. Probably just human perception being what it is. Very happy with it!

Ya tengo más de un año con el y aún funciona de maravilla, una excelente velocidad mi PC gamer armada (aún que ya está quedando desactualizada) vuela

Performs great, no complaints from me.

Received a used reconditioned hard drive that does not work! Amazon should not allow this company to sell their crappy used items, if I wanted used items, I would have shopped eBay!

Produto nota 10!!!
