So far hasn’t failed once.
I bought this a while ago and has never failed, the storage is HUGE for the price, it can handle 8 terabytes of storage just for 100 bucks just fine. There is no preset setup so it’s not so easy to use but it’s simple. It’s capable for not breaking down immediately. Works with mostly every motherboard.

This thing is a beast! BUY THE 8TB. Don't be cheap, it's worth the money and time it
I've been using multiple 250GB HDD's to save my gopro videoa and I wanted a 1T and it was way to expensive, but then when I click on this post, I seen there was an 8T for a great price. I snatched right away. The size fits great in the slots. Performance wise, I can transfer 600GB in less than 2 minutes! Easy to use and allocate. Compatible with any SATA drive ports. Imagine putting this beast in an xbox 😏

Working flawlessly, have transferred multiple terabytes, 0 errors
The drive is working great, recognized by the BIOS immediately, able to create and format of volume on the first try no problem, already transferred multiple terabytes of data with no hiccups. Awesome capacity drive for the price point. If anything goes haywire I'll update my review, at this point I'm ecstatic at the amount of storage space.

Large capacity in a good price. Should last for another 7-10 years.
In short: I’m an IT guy and I find this drive highly recommended for local storage at home. I have many Barracuda Seagate disks of an old models and very happy with their performance and durability and they serve me for years… If you don’t like the idea of storing your precious data in the cloud (safe and sound as it may seem) then managing a local storage is the way to go. And these Barracuda Segate 4TB drives are great for that purpose as they have enough capacity for most users while their price tag is affordable.Keep in mind that having local disks require maintenance, and that hard drives do fail when they wear out – it’s not IF they fail but more of WHEN, as they all die eventually; even the enterprise level ones. So if you consider the route of a local storage \ backup server then you’d better make a backup plan in advanced for redundancy – if you only need 1 drive for your data then buy 2 drives. If you need 2 drives then go with 4. And so on… The rule is to always have an exact copy of your data in 2 separate (physical) places, either by manual copying between disks, or for the advanced users between us to setting up a RAID 1 array for automatic clone (mirror) of one disk to the other; even if it costs somewhat more (if not doubled) at first, in the long run when one of your precious disks fail you’d be very happy that you had a backup. So besides of the loss of the actual disk, your data is safe and sound since it is stored on the second disk you aimed in advanced for this very scenario. And in such scenario it’s a good time to go shopping right away for a new drive to replace the one that failed, since you no longer have redundancy once one had failed. And when it arrives don’t challenge your fate and waste time - go ahead and copy all your data from the backup drive to it to have redundancy once again.My own story and experience: I have many Barracuda Seagate disks. About 10 actually. From my experience with mechanical drives and with Seagate brand in particular is that they *last for about 7-10 years. And when we speak on mechanical hard drives it's quite good. I had an old Seagate disk I stored data on, which was about 7-10 years old, and it failed about 2 weeks ago. I'm very glad that I spent some extra when I bought it and purchased a second one to serve me as a backup. So besides of the actual disk that died I didn't lose any data. This one came to replace it and I’m writing this review while it copies my data from the backup drive. I trust that it will give me another 7-10 years of quiet before it fails too. I'd recommend to check your disks health every now and then and to pay attention for any "clicking" sound from your computer case - even after my rich experience as an IT guy I fell for that very scenario because I was too busy to open my computer case and check where the clicking sound had come from, and thought that it's just from a dying fan... If I was paying more attention and take responsibility I'd probably replaced the disk before it finally died. There are many free tools out there that you can use to check your drives health and to let you know in advanced when a disk shows bad signs and needs a replacement. I'm using CrystalDiskInfo and I set it to launch at startup. So every time I restart my machine it pops-up and shows the actual disks health.*Hard drives will last depending on the user's usage. If you're only storing files on them for accessing later then they will more likely last longer. On the other hand if it's your "scratch disk" for video editing or you create and delete huge amount of data on it on a daily basis and the drive is under a heavy load then it may last less. It also depends on the environment the hard drive is located and the airflow in your computer case. Here are some tips as an IT guy: carefully clean your computer case interior from dust with air spray cans or oil-free dental compressor every 3-4 months. Make sure all fans in your case are working correctly – ventilated computer case will make your entire system and disks to last longer and to perform better; computers don’t like heat. Don’t keep computers in cabinets that have no airflow from the front and back. Don’t force shutdown your computer by holding the power switch unless it’s your last result (if let’s say it hanged or crashed). If you take these tips into consideration then your hard drives will last longer.

Uso después de mes y medio
Llevo usándolo un mes y medio aproximadamente, Al momento de llegar el producto no tuvo ningún daño físico ya al destaparlo Aunque su embalaje sí estaba algo lastimado pero leve, muy contento con las compras que he realizado dentro de Amazon porque llegan muy bienEstoy usando esta unidad como almacenamiento de mi computador no está arrancando sistema operativo simplemente sirve para copia de seguridad de todos mis documentos y todos los trabajos que realizo dentro del computadorCosas que he notado después de usarlo es que al momento de realizar funciones con mi computador Como abrir el gestor de archivos u otro proceso que implique usar este producto genera un sonido normal de lectura de información por unos dos o cuatro segundos aproximadamente porque se siente como acelera su velocidad para leer y la verdad es algo que no incomoda, pienso que está correcto para su construcción, si tu placa madre te permite conectar dos unidades de estado sólido podrías pensar en ello pero este producto cumple con lo que ofrece ya está este momento no tiene ningún inconveniente Al momento de realizar toda la gestión de almacenamiento.Ya hice copia de respaldo de mi portátil que estaba totalmente lleno lo cual pesaba aproximadamente 500 Gb Y sumado a eso ya llevó creando nuevo material de las diferentes aplicaciones que uso como productor audiovisual y no ha presentado ningún inconveniente

Great backup storage for videos
Pretty solid drive as far as I can tell. I've had it for a few months now without any problems. I'm using it to back up movies and videos on my Mac. Read and write speeds, while not as fast as an SSD, are fast enough. Takes less than a minute to back up a few gigabytes. That's fantastic as you would have to pay so much more to get 8TB worth of SSDs.

works flawlessly...wow..way better than buying and learning a new system
just put this 4tb sata hardrive into my lorex DVR instead of buying a new lorex DVR and learning a whole ton of bothersome new ways to operate the new dvr. best decision i have made. the instructions on my old lorex dvr said it can take up to a 6tb hardrive. but i did not want to spend that much. anyway my old hard drive was 1tb and with 8 cams it could record continuously for only 3 days. but with this new 4tb hardrive it can record continuously for11 days with 8 cams. so i am really happy with it. it also was a piece of cake to open the hard dr and remove the old hd and put in the new one. fired right up same passwords etc. great buy and saved a ton. i think soon i will buy a spare 6tb sata harddrive to keep on hand. my old 1tb was supposed to last up to 5 years but it lasted 10, way longer than it was supposed to last...so this new one will be about permanent, unless i just decide to increase its capacity to 6tb.

I've bought like 6 of these, very reliable.
I use these in a personal media server that stays on 24/7. Oldest of these is probably 7 years old by now. All work fine, no problems. Server is used multiple times every day.
