- It comes in large sizes or small. Spend the money you need for the space you want. - Fastest 7200Rpm HDD I have used. - Low idle power draw. - Writing to a 860 QVO 1TB SDD it uses 100% Black and 30-60% of the SSD. - It replaced a drive from 2013! (WD blue 7200) With no issue. Plugged-in, Disc Management saw it right away, format/Copy files and it's great. All the programs work because I switched the drive letters back to :D :D

Fast and holds plenty of data.

Good performance under stress

This was an easy plug-n-play replacement for another drive that failed in my RAID 5 array. I chose this drive because of the reliability data posted by BackBlaze. Unlike others here, my drive arrived factory-sealed, no signs of wear or damage. While this is old stock (which was expected just by doing a quick internet search and seeing this was an old model), it is in new condition, is a great price, and comes with a 5-year warranty directly from the seller (goHardDrive). Can't ask for more!

Great delivery time and response to my queries.

- cheap - rock solid

5 day-long shipping, working well

First I would not hesitate to recommend this as a primary drive or in PC drive to anyone who would be serving files from the drive to other devices. IMO it performs amazingly, is quiet, cool and has a low power consumption. Corsair choose this drive as the drive of choice in there ultimate HTPC computers over Black drives. When I asked them WHY... they said being it will likely be in a HTPC they wanted something that performed very well and was very quiet. Coming from a huge computer company designed a no compromise system that says a lot. As for my own experience with this drive: I don't know where to start... I bought into this drive because of what the guy who had a lot to do with designing the corsair flagship HTPC said to me about the drive and the reason they decided to go with it. The drive is quiet which coming from a newer velociraptor (extremely quiet) I had some high expectations. It is also very fast and it seems that it handles requests from multiple devices very well. I often see throughput of ~100MB/s even when 3-5 devices are streaming from the drive. To me that is just amazing! The aureal density from it being a 1TB probably plays into it's tremendous speed even when multiple sources are streaming from it. I believe it works better as a NAS drive then my velociraptor which at 1TB and only 2.5" the velociraptor had a great aureal density as well. I run my NAS in a real PC with a good PSU tons a fair amount of memory and CPU power (FOR A NAS). I am guessing if I had run this thing in an enclosure the temperature would play into things and it does run a few C lower than my other drives (except the velociraptor) when they are all idle. I am sure a few degrees in a well vented case is a going to add up to a lot more in a small HD enclosure or NAS enclosure.

Ran 4 of these in a storage array for a few years. They replaced a similar array built on smaller SATA drives. Needless to say, they're muuuuch faster than the SATA drives.

In comparison to a similar 3.5" drive: Very quiet Low power Rapid acceleration from rest Excellent volumetric density

Good price, no issues for total 32 days 12 hrs of uptime. No issues or warning or bad sectors thus far. Average temperature 43c maximum 50c. 154 MBs average in HD tune, 172 MBs maximum, 13.5ms access time not bad

Purchased Sept. 2019, have been using in Video editing, large videos, over 1 hour in length final size and 1920x1080 resolution, for 1 yr. so far. No errors , excellent drive.

Excellent HDD performance (190MB/sec read & write according to Crystaldiskmark for the large file size - 4k writes are 1.3MB/sec 4k reads are 0.65MB/sec) Nice sale price. Quiet.

I just works, like you expect it to. Their larger sizes, like this one, are a little quicker, are CMR (I think) and, by reputation, highly reliable. I guess NAS Red ones and such even better, don't know, didn't need. Was good price. Comes with some basic version of well-regarded Asconic SW, haven;t used it.


Good performance for 7200 RPM drives Mostly silent operation Running 24/7 in RAID 1 without issues Good value at 350USD each (you may find a different price) CMR technology, 5-year warranty

Shipping from the U.S to Cebu, Philippines took only 5 days. I commend Newegg for big improvement in their item delivery. Usually shipping to here will take 15-30 days to say the least. Also glad the item has it's 5-year warranty from Seagate aside from the standard warranty from Newegg. Registered the item on Seagate's website and it acknowledged the serial numbers on my 2 units as legit. Although actual warranty says it only has 4.5 years remaining even though my purchase was made just a week ago and received it just yesterday, Dec. 7, 2021. So far so good. Thanks Newegg!


As expected from an enterprise disk drive, no problems.

Good price 12gb interface Works well so far in my Adaptec raid 5
