Pros & Cons
Pros
Only downside is it was about 7. Inches wide. Well packaged and protected for shipment.
Cons
The warranty process for seeking a replacement is unreasonable. I am left hoping that there might be a replacement coming sometime. Shame on seagate brand.
The drive has bad blocks after only 6 months. Only lasted a little over 2 months. Box was also partially crushed. On my pc it only shows as having 95mb of free space.
No receipt. That is disappointing, but that happens. The agent is not able to verify if they received payment.

Quality (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐):the build quality of this drive is commendable.
Great product used in night owl home security system went from 2tb now i’m running 6tb plenty of storage
This drive is waaaaay faster to load recordings (the old one would take 15-30 seconds just to playback a clip).
Probably the most overkill i will ever go for simply storing nvr data.
Price
New original item with a great price.
Right now and for workhorse needs, this is a nice and reasonably-cost solution.
I went with this seagate because it was affordable.
Purchased 2 more in 02/2023 on sale $299 to expand the video recording system storage capacity and to add raid redundancy.
Shipping
The third party seller shipped fast so no complaints.
Came right on time, i would recommend this drive
Ordered on march 12, 2022 put it into constant service the day it arrived.
Competitiveness

In summary, the seagate skyhawk ai 16tb drive is a top-notch choice for those in need of high-capacity storage.
