Pros & Cons
Pros
Best drives so far. Works as advertised. Seller has good communication. Every seagate drive i have bought since more than 15 years worked great lasting at minimum for 7 years of continued using.
The drive runs far cooler than the old wd drives it is replacing. The drive is somewhat noisy on startup/sleep but overall the performance is good. The drives are a bit noisy and run warmer than some others i have used.
