  1. Lonnie

    Adding a hdd to my system. For a hdd it’s not bad.

  2. Zorloch

    Best hard drive for the best price. The Seagate Barracuda truly is the defenition of evolution. Ten years ago this HDD would cost ~$500, now theyre around and under $50. The Seagate is the best you can buy too, with 2TB of storage and 7200 RPM speeds of disk reading, almost as good as an SSD

  3. Patrick

    Great storage! Very affordable compared to m.2 ssd storage prices but holds about the same quality and speed. Would recommend for someone looking for affordable storage that’s fast and reliable. Been using it about a year now with no issues or download times. Highly recommend!

  4. RaymondS

    decent load times, no complaints and i have been using for almost a year

  5. OldVietVet

    Purchased this set off wires to transfer files from one hard drive to a new computer. Worked perfectly

  6. AlexC

    Great amount of storage for what ever you need for your computer

  7. Davidrh

    I would have to give it a 4 based on the loading speeds
    But I bought this for my 14 year old and he doesn’t see the difference
    I recommend this for extra doc storage or light gaming (Minecraft, Fortnite)

    Pros:

    1. Reliable Performance (4/5): The Seagate Barracuda hard drive delivers consistent and reliable performance, making it suitable for everyday computing tasks, including file storage, media playback, and more.

    2. Ample Storage Capacity (4/5): With 2TB of storage capacity, this hard drive offers ample space to store a variety of files, including documents, photos, videos, and games.

    3. Affordable Price (4/5): The hard drive provides excellent value for its storage capacity, making it an affordable choice for users on a budget who need additional storage space.

    5. Quiet Operation (4/5): The drive operates quietly, which is ideal for users who prioritize a noise-free computing environment.

    Cons:

    1. Slower Speed (3/5): While the Barracuda hard drive offers reliability and affordability, it operates at a standard rotational speed (typically 7,200 RPM). Users seeking faster data access may want to consider an SSD for improved speed.

    2. Limited Gaming Performance (3/5): While suitable for general storage, the Barracuda hard drive may not provide the fast load times required for gaming. Gamers may consider pairing it with an SSD for improved gaming performance.

    3. Lack of Advanced Features (3/5): This hard drive lacks advanced features found in more premium options, such as built-in data encryption or additional software tools.

    Conclusion:

    The Seagate Barracuda 2TB Internal SATA Hard Drive for Desktops is a reliable and budget-friendly storage solution for users in need of extra storage capacity for their desktop computers. It excels in everyday storage tasks, offering ample space for documents, media files, and more.

    While the hard drive provides excellent value for its price, it may not be the best choice for users seeking high-speed data access or gaming performance. In such cases, an SSD or a hybrid storage setup may be more appropriate.

    In summary, if you’re looking for a straightforward and reliable storage upgrade for your desktop computer without breaking the bank, the Seagate Barracuda 2TB hard drive is a solid choice. It delivers on its promise of providing cost-effective and dependable storage for your data storage needs.

  9. DevonH

    lasted less than a year. bought because old one lasted 10 years,

  10. Nickname

    Good value for storage capacity. Barracuda is a reliable product.

  11. Danny

    This product was easy to install and it worked great in my system. I continue to use it on a daily basis, and it seems to have to durability to last.

  12. Nicksthename

    I bought this hard drive about 1 1/2 years ago. I use it for various 3D rendering programs. It has had no problems at all so far.
    I’ve had lots of luck with Seagate over the years and have stayed with the brand consistently.
    I always try to research specific drives first before purchasing, tho. I think that’s what has helped me in avoiding problems.

  13. curdnerd

    my old hd died and i needed a new one and this works pretty well.

  14. JadenT

    I was glad to order this it was cheap and 2tb is plenty of storage would recommend it but sure your computer can fit it or you might have to custom fit it.

  15. weegee

    i originally had a older series Barracuda and it worked fine still is so i saw no reason to not get the new series and it works just as great with a lot of my non SSD games on other HDDs youd be suprised how much stuff you fit on 2TBs

  16. Joel

    Very nice for a steam library drive, I put all my bigger games in this hhd when I’m not playing them much. Very good price for the amount of space this provides.

  17. AlissiaH

    Built my own PC and used this I’ve had no issues it works great

  18. Deringer

    Awesome product would recommend.Cost more but we’ll worth the extra to purchase.

  19. Finn

    Have had an excellent time with this storage device. I was able to download my entire Steam library and then some, and still have a good chunk of space leftover.

  20. RodrigoL

    Great standard HDD for any gameing pc, extremely cheap for its product

  28. Lady1k3

    My fav product! Bought 3 in one months fpr myself and others.

  29. BillyvF

    Super impressive and worthy of the price but on high end

  30. BENJI

    I usually never use or recommend Hdd’s anymore but since I tend to do a lot of gaming and music recording, I wanted a drive to hold photos, videos and music files without using my ssds. This is a great for fairly static storage and a lot faster than my old 1tb that wasn’t 7200rpm.

  31. Josh

    works as intended, its not that fast but its good for storage.

  32. ChristopherB

    Good write speed, good read speed, and it’s not horrifically expensive for what it is, good overall. Comes with usb-c to A connector, and a c-c connector.

  33. WDGEEL

    Needed to replace a failed internal hard drive. This installed as expected, and I was able to restore my system from an image file without any issue.

  34. Dankavocado

    Very good storage device able to hold alot of space.

  35. MarcusD

    Good value, easy install, just a simple format to get it running

  36. AymanM

    Reviewing this after nearly 2 years after purchase. Hands down the best value HDD, 2 TB which serves as my main storage alongside my NVME.

  37. TimH

    Love Seagates.

    Needed to replace old PC HDD. This was available in store for ASAP repairs.

  38. 200MPH

    I bought this to replace a WD Black 750GB drive that failed after six years. Two TB is more than I need but was the best value available at the time. Easy setup and works flawlessly. It should or I don’t know what I’m doing. I would recommend this to anybody.

  39. LudicrusLeonard

    I have always gotten dependable service with Seagate hard drives. Over a period of 8 years and building desktop PCs for my family here and in Alabama out of more than 12 drives purchased during that 8 years I only had issues with 2. Seagate replaced them under warranty in short order. Other brands ran 30% or higher failures. 2 problem drives out of more than 12 in 8 years speaks volumes about the quality and dependability of their drives. We have 4 home computers all with 2 or more hard drives in them now running Windows OSs from Windows 10 back to a couple of legacy build PCs running Windows 95 OSR 2.5, Windows 98 SE, Windows XP and Windows 7. All are running Seagate drives. 2 drives each in the Windows 95 and 98 PCs and 3 each in the XP and Win7 PCs. My Windows 10 Pro is running 4 Seagate drives. A 2GB system and 3 X 4GB program/game drives. I will continue using Seagate HDs until they stop making them or their quality drops below my standards. No sign of that happening any time soon.

  40. JaWo518

    Mine had to be replaced under warrantee by Seagate shortly after I installed it, as it started making a whistling noise that turned out to be a defect. Seagate was great about it, but it still was an inconvenience.

  41. SprintIA

    Relatively fast and quiet compared to my primary NVME storage. Very satisfied. No installation problems but keep in mind you get the drive only and nothing else.

  42. user980683

    Got this to replace a different hard drive that went bad and havent had any issues so far. Its a little loud but not too loud to deal with at all. Happy to have double the space as my last HDD (:

  43. Bison

    My old Baracuda 1 TB drive died after 8 years of 24X7X365 operation. I decided to upgrade to the 2TB version. It is quiet and fast. It gets warm but the PC fans keep it in the safe zone

  44. James

    For some reason these products (hard drives) are no longer available in the actual store. And i find that annoying. I go to stores to see the products available in a “hands on” manner and make visual comparisons. But I guess that’s an old fashioned expectation.
    So, I went to the store just to place an online order with the cashier.

  45. GoDJ

    Exactly as expected, service was great and quick even during holiday, works like a charm and easy to install.

  46. Unknown

    Grey hard drive runs with good speed for a hard drive

  47. user205043

    The hard drive works as intended. Improved the storage capacity of my system.

  48. StephenW

    Great hard drive for media library and holds up for long conversations use

  49. TeresaH

    It’s the perfect choice when starting to build your first computer. If you already have a hard drive with a good amount of storage, at least a terabyte, would recommend getting an internal ssd. But if you don’t, then this is the perfect choice, especially when building your first.

  50. DougB

    The hard drive worked as expected. Good value too.
