Quality


Reasonably fast extra large storage - good for infrequent storage and retrieval


The drive works well, with no issues or defects.


It bottlenecks you to 60 mb/s for real-world tasks that aren't a straight up copy.


One of the drives started making loud clicking noises.

Price


14tb at a great price, drive is fast, easy to use and an excellent value.

Shipping


Shipped very fast and easy to use.


Logged on to the seagate site and after entering some info, seagate sent me a new drive with no questions asked.


I also found it super fast when it came to transferring files.

Packaging/appearance


Unboxed it, came well protected in box.

Competitiveness


Seagate still makes an affordable quality product.


I bought the product on sale directly from seagate, but this particular one on amazon is actually even a better price.


Works well and costs less than competitors


My main concern is the fact that it runs warmer than other external hds that i have used.
