Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5" Internal HDD

Click and collect was too easy, installation a cinch, works like a dream. Direct replacement for an 8 yrs old one so if this one lasts 8yrs too I'll be well pleased!

needed a drive to replace a failing OEM component. This item was well priced, arrived quickly and has fufilled my needs really well.
Its quieter than the OEM part which is an unexpected bonus.
I must have had bad sectors for a while on the old drive, as the machine is now running much better. needed a drive to replace a failing OEM component. This item was well priced, arrived quickly and has fufilled my needs really well.

Not much else to say really. It does what it's meant to and didn't cost too much. Not much else to say really. It does what it's meant to and didn't cost too much.

Very Happy with it Very Happy with it

It's alright, and has a great storage size for the price! My only complaint is that it's a bit slow in my opinion, but does the job. It's alright, and has a great storage size for the price! My only complaint is that it's a bit slow in my opinion, but does the job.

Now to my surprise, for this price, this HDD out performs itself. I have tested it, and I'm getting 229MB/s write, and 215MB/s reads, which is roughly half the speed of my SSD (551MB/s, 415MB/s). This HDD is a beauty, and such a low price. I would by this HDD 10 times out of 10, it's a steal at this price, and at these tests.

I've tested this with many benchmarks, all returning similar, if not the same speeds. The current range is on average, between 220MB/s - 240MB/s for writes, and between 200MB/s - 230MB/s for reads, so in the range of these values. I will undoubtedly be buying some more of these in the near future. Now to my surprise, for this price, this HDD out performs itself.

Replaced my black WD HDD with this model after nine years. It is faster and works well. Replaced my black WD HDD with this model after nine years. It is faster and works well.
