Decent HDD
Decent hard drive. Bought it as a parity drive for my unRAID server. Compared to the WD Red series, it performs the same. May have less longevity but none the less a good drive

Typical desktop drive, more than enough capacity for most people.

Drive Died In Less Than A Month
I bought two of these 4TB Seagate drives. I am now wishing I would have purchased Western Digital drives instead. One of them is still working, but I don't trust it. It might as well be a ticking time bomb. Thank goodness for RAID.

Not as advertised
The spin speed on this is not 7200 but only 5425. The PRO version is the only one that is 7200. The throughput was less than 100MBs so I am returning the product.

*Not a 7.2 krpm drive*
Be aware that Seagate and WD both lowered their warranties to 2y and their spindle speeds to ~5400rpm for consumer level drives. You'll notice that the drive read speed has dropped to 190MB/s from ~210MB/s with the 7200.14 model range.
Pros:
- bandwidth and size per unit cost is excellent
- fine for RAID-1 since my OS is on SSD
Cons:
- both WD and Seagate have discontinued 7200rpm drives for the consumer level and lowered the warranty periods to 2 years. disappointing, but the cost/benefit ratio for the 5y warranty drive isn't really good if you replace the drive in case of failure within 5 years anyway
- the expected lifetime of...
