True Value, and doesn't disappoint in performance per gb/$.
An easy install and great value, the drive performs well with short file copies between the Barracuda and an SSD (Hynix). Note it IS 5400 RPM, NOTE IT IS 128 meg CACHE. These are key factors in your drive purchase, performance vs. battery life. I've found it to be especially efficient with file or file selects under 2 GB for copies between the drives on the same laptop system. File copies and backups via a 1 gb network connection work great most of the time, and the read/writes are over 60 meg/sec write via the network to another 7200 RPM drive (WD Blue WZEZ), even 100 meg/sec to a (boot) SSD on the network. Expect the benchmarks to be correct, value at a good performance rate.As stated smaller transfers also have great burst over the 1 gb network, with less than 1.5 Gb copying in under 6-10 seconds. This drive does well on smaller copy transfers than larger files due to its 128 meg cache. It's a great second system and backup drive for an SSD (boot) drive based system, on a laptop or desktop. This isn't a workstation drive unless you work backups (Win 10 File history is FAST, as is Win 7 type backup), in which its value speaks for itself.I'd recommend this drive based on price and performance for all things considered. AS-SSD benchmark is reported as 130 meg/sec read, 120 meg/sec write on 4k transfers. It's consistent with other tested benchmarks for the same drive/model.5 stars, not to mention I have a successful history with Seagate products!TC

Great amount of storage, at an awesome price.
Both hard drives I ordered arrived early, and in perfect condition. I installed them on my NAS and worked without any issues. I'll probably buy a couple more due to the great price.

I Love It....! (Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA...)
This Review Is Specifically For The:"Seagate 1TB BarraCuda SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 2.5-Inch 7mm Internal Hard Drive (ST1000LM048)"It's Fast For A 5400 RPM Drive But I Think It Only Works With USB 3.0 Or Above Cables... I Have 2 USB 2.0 And An Enclosure And It Won't Work At All With Them.... Fortunately, I Also Bought A StarTech USB 3.0 to 2.5" SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable At The Same Time And It Works With It Just Fine.... It Also Works Great Installed In My Toshiba Satellite C655 Laptop (It's Ultimate Purpose Of Course)....NOW - Keep In Mind ALL Hard Drives/ Disk Drives Can Fail... AND If They're Going To Fail, They Usually Fail Within The First 6 - 9 Months Of Regular Use... SO - Back Up Everything For The First Year Or So On ALL New Drives.... (Actually, You Should Be Doing That Anyway All The Time...) If The Drive Lasts Longer Than 9 Months To A Year, It's A Good Chance The Drive Is Fine And Will Last The Normal Mean Time Between Failures Of Something Like 800,000 Hours Or So... BUT Keep In Mind, Anything Can Happen....ALSO NOTE - THE DRIVE COMES BLANK - They All Do As Far As I Know.....I Don't Know If You Need To Format It Because The Recovery Thumb Drive Did All That Good Stuff For Me Automatically....I Installed It In My Laptop And Inserted The USB Thumb Drive Recovery Thingy I Made Following Toshiba's Instructions... It Took A While But Not Too Long (Naturally, We're Talking Like 13GB Here For Windows 7 From A USB 2.0 Thumb Drive...) And I'm Back To "Out Of The Box" New Again, Except With A Ridiculously Large Drive....LOL Old Drives A 300GB....I Don't Know About Warranties Or Fakes Like Some Reviews Are Talking About, But Mine Has A Green Label And Came Sealed In A New Looking Anti-static Pouch...

Cheap high-capacity 2.5-inch storage, but terrible for data rewrites
What makes this such a cheap 2.5-inch 5TB HDD is a non-standard data recording method called "Shingled Magnetic Recording" or "SMR". To quote Google AI,"When comparing a Seagate Barracuda with SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) to one with PMR (Perpendicular Magnetic Recording), the key difference is that the SMR drive will generally have significantly slower write speeds due to its overlapping track design, while the PMR drive offers faster write performance, making it better for write-intensive tasks, even though the SMR drive might have a higher storage capacity at a lower price point."What that means is, it's good for data that you put on it once and never delete or update again, and slow for handling data that needs to be rewritten. I had to use mine for rewriting due to a lack of storage elsewhere, but every time I try to delete the latest version of the Unreal Engine 5 and replace it with the newest one, it makes the drive slow to a crawl. I have to constantly give my 5TB Barracudas down time and defrag them whenever I do big delete or write operation on them. I even had to open my computer case and point a full-sized desk fan at them whenever I run them just to keep them from overheating.Bottom line: Get this if you need a cheap, high-capacity 2.5-inch 5TB HDD you will never rewrite data to. But if you need drives to store data you want to rewrite on a regular basis, get a CMR/PMR HDD or an SSD.
