As it says "durable and reliable" (we hope! Bit too soon to tell yet but haven't had issues with Seagate in the past, which is why we but them)

is a bit more noisier than thought it would be, but otherwise is a nice drive. Just remember for those of you using Windows 10, you must enable GPS for the drive if you wish to use the entire drive as one... otherwise you will be limited to 4GB and have to create 2 partitions.

Very happy with the extra 8TB, I might buy another one and will never have to delete anything again....

Product as described. Came lightly packaged in an anti-static bag only. I can confirm this model is CMR not SMR. Came with pristine SMART stats and zero power on hours. Working fine with mdadm RAID and successfully completed MD rebuild and grow operations with no problems whatsoever. Great value deal, would recommend at this price.
