Seagate BarraCuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM SATA 3.0 Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DMA08)

This is a 3.5 inch form factor drive and works really well as a secondary drive or for having multiples set up in a Raid Array on your machine (so long as you have room for it, and a controller). I use this as my gaming drive for my gaming rig. 2TBs of space means a lot of games or other media if you want. This of course is a SATA style drive but its hard to beat the price with the amount of storage it offers. I run games off this drive that dont really require a lot. Single player games that dont need to be online for example and it works well. They offer a 2 year warranty on this as well. Not a bad choice at all if you need a 2nd Sata drive.

Bought this as a replacement for my 3TB Toshiba hard drive which I've had for 5 years now. After installing this drive, I would hear a scratching sound like the spinning disc inside is rubbing on each other every time I turn on the computer. It goes away after like 3 seconds but its loud, louder than my 5 year old Toshiba hard drive. My computer is complete silent and the only thing you can hear is this hard disk spinning. I understand HDD drive have spinning disc so can't expect it to be complete silent but wasn't expecting it to be louder than a 5 year old HDD. In the end, I had to return it and go with an external HD for backup.

I have 4 hard drives & one SSD (boot drive). When cleaning up my drives I wanted to delete the old Windows drive that was on a 3TB disc because sometimes my computer would boot off the 3TB drive and I'd have to correct it in BIOS. Well when taking care of this issue I guess I didn't have my coffee but I wound up deleting Windows on the SSD and I couldn't reinstall Windows because the SSD was a GPT partition so I needed a new drive. I've been using Seagate HD's for for years and they're always reliable. Best Buy had the disk delivered to me early the next day and everything is working fine. Great job by Best Buy and Seagate.

Have used Seagate drives for the last few decades. Bought 6 of these to go into a storage server. Haven't had one fail yet before it was replaced for something bigger.

I am very excited, I already want to assemble the components and be able to assemble my first pc
