The drive is too thick to fit my laptop.Seller does NOT match Walmart return policy of 90 days.This seller only gives 30 days and buries that info so it is not up front.The drive may be fine I wont find out in this laptop and have no other need for a drive.I will not purchase again from MemoryC.I recommend you Don't purchase from MemoryC until such time that they change this 30 return policy to a 90 day policy.

Bought the disk, was a bit thrown off at first as the disk had a different sticker on the front. Manufacturers website said the disk was out of warranty. However it does say on the website that it is an OEM disk, checked with support staff, the warranty is honored by scan. So it's all good.As for the product itself, using it as a backup disk for a server (daily writes), performance is fine. The only thing to watch out for is the thickness. If you think all 2'5 inch hard drives have the same thickness, think again. For use cases like: servers, NAS, computers, youll be fine. But for laptops and consoles, check if there is enough headroom for a thicker disk.

I bought 4 around 2013 to build an array of RAID5. Now in 2021 I bought another batch of 4 to expand the array. First, it's good that they are still available to match what I already have. I don't think exact model matching is necessary for RAID, but usually there is less trouble to be so. Although bought new, they were still made around 2013. I did a surface test for each drive after receiving, which took about two days because each test ran 5-6 hours. Among the 4 units I received, two were made in Thailand and two China. Both units made in China detected bad sectors while Thailand ones were good. The tool for surface test is DiskGenius, which rates the sector health in a scale from excellent, good, etc. to damaged.

So a bad drive not only has damaged sectors but also contains many at the severe level. One bad drive even didn't finish the test. When I looked at it, there were physical scratches on the body and PCB. I returned the two bad ones and received replacements. In the mean while, I unplugged disks from the existing array and did a test one by one. It's interesting to see that the 4 drives bought previously were also two from China and two Thailand. They all passed the tests. When I received the replacements, I saw their origin were both from Thailand. Surface test results also indicated that they were on par with the other good drives. My experience is that one should immediately test hard disk drives after purchasing, return or replace those with bad sectors. There is likely a correlation between origin and quality. So far, I received and tested 10 drives, 6 from Thailand and 4 from China. All 6 from Thailand are good, and 50% of the 4 from China had bad sectors, 25% already malfunctioned. Using DiskGenius those good disks have mostly excellent sectors with a small portion in good level, but nothing below good.

As a normal PC user who uses hard drives as something needed to just be in place and work as well as other hard drives, and not a massive reviewer for magazines and trade adverts, the Barracuda does its job. It is quiet, it is faster than some of my previous drives (but it is new and hasn't been filled with fragmented data left over from previous use) and I would hope it is going to stay reliable. The questions asked to give a star rating contains the question "Is it reliable" How can a new user be expected to answer that when it is only a couple of months old?Perhaps I will re-evaluate the four star rating in a year or two when the question of reliability can be assessed. What else can be said about a Hard Drive? It works and is fairly quiet and that is all as it ...

What else can be said about a Hard Drive? It works and is fairly quiet and that is all as it is just another Hard Drive, one of many on the market at the same or similar price. FOLLOW UP INFORMATION This HDD lasted untilOctober 2020, just over 3 years use as the main drive on a PC that is on and used 16+ hours every day. That is over 20400 hours of use. Is that reliable? I would say it is and add that it is one of the best so far to be on for that many hours. Most of my previous drives have never made it past 2 years before they started to give me trouble. I still use Barracuda drives as backup drives andfor major storage of photos and books but my new Portus Digital All-in-one uses SSD's so I don't think I will be buying so many discs in future.
I've purchased 12 of these drives to put into a home unRAID NAS I built out of an old HP Proliant DL380 G7. I use 2 parity drives with 10 of these drives for data. The drives are about as thick (15mm) as the SAS 2.5" drives from HP and produce close to the same level of heat and noise. Also, with unRAID, it spins up drives on demand and keeps other drives spun down when not using them. I've been using these drives for several months with little issue. The only problem I had with them is that 2 of them developed some sector corruption that were uncorrectable. The likely cause for this corruption was an abrupt power kill on my server while files were being written from the cache drive to the disk array. I now have my server on an UPS to gracefully shutdown in case of ... MoreI've purchased 12 of these drives to put into a home unRAID NAS I built out of an old HP Proliant DL380 G7.

I now have my server on an UPS to gracefully shutdown in case of a power failure. I have a mixture of other drives installed in the remaining drive bays, but the plan is to outfit all 16 bays with one of these drives. I feel fairly confident in this 2U SFF build, but this drive configuration is certainly not supported/endorsed by Seagate or HP. Nothing on the system is mission critical as it's primarily used for home media. I would say to build something like this configuration at your own risk and build gradually so you don't have all drives fail at once. It's going to take active maintenance to ensure that my drive array stays healthy.
I've bought 30-40 of these hard drives for computer builds because they were reliable, but also because Seagate DiscWizard transfer software (free for use if one drive is a Seagate) was easy to use and dependable to copy my standard hard drive load to an empty drive. In the last year it appears that either updates to Seagate DiscWizard or Windows 10 was making it impossible to copy my standard computer build load onto these or any other drives. I've tried a couple of other than Seagate drive brands and had issues with them too, so the problem may be Windows and not Seagate DiscWizard or Seagate drives. I've also tried other transfer software and had similar issues. Too bad, because I love building desktops but these issues have caused me to stop. Whatever happened ...

The disk was purchased on February 28th, 2019 and failed on November 11th, 2021, about eight months after its two-year warranty expired. Environment: Full-tower PC case, SATAIII bus, tested good EVGA 650w PSU, used as primary hard disk for work, school, media files (video, images, documents). Failure Narrative: User opens file manager in search of an image which resides on the disk. No files are locatable in any directory on the disk. On reboot, fsck takes far longer than normal but completes. SMART shows eight consecutive "uncorrectable errors in data" events logged at 9751 power-on hours. SMART shows very nonzero "offline uncorrectable" and "current pending sector" counts. DMESG displays a repeating pattern of I/O errors. Disk does not appear writable. Files and ...

SMART shows very nonzero "offline uncorrectable" and "current pending sector" counts. DMESG displays a repeating pattern of I/O errors. Disk does not appear writable. Files and directories on disk enumerate properly, but attempts to copy any information off the disk results in a continuous stream of I/O errors. Each click of the "retry" button in file manager results in the MiB copied tally increasing slightly before the next I/O error. Conclusion: The failure is most likely on the controller board as opposed to inside the physical hard disk. I'll keep my eye out for another ST3000DM008 PCB to see if I can further isolate the failure.
This is an SMR drive shucked from a cheap external drive. It's a great, very cheap way to fill 2.5 inch 15mm bays with a lot of storage. But know and understand what you are getting and your workload. SMR drives are good at reads and sequential writes, and are very bad at random access writes because they have to re-write a lot of data even if all you do is change a few bytes in the middle of something. Good for media or one-time backups, but bad for incremental backups, lots of small files, or some filesystems like ZFS. They have part of the disk that works in a conventional way and then transfer it to the slower SMR section later on when they can. If you are using it sparingly enough that it can keep up, you won't even notice. But if you are hitting it hard with a ... MoreThis is an SMR drive shucked from a cheap external drive.

I'm hoping Seagate has tilted their budgets to better QA on products people trust their important memories to, even when they are foolish enough not to keep a full readable backup on an external drive. I guess we'll see how many people complain about issues on this new series of hard drives. The 3TB range is pretty optimal for a whole bunch of reasons and with prices hovering around $25-30 a TB this drive falls into the sweet spot of brand loyalty. You can populate an array without breaking the budget. Seagate drives appear to have had some quality issues in the past if you read the reviews, but consider all the working drives people don't care to write a review about. While today's manufacturing systems have reduced prices drastically, we're packing data tighter ... MoreI'm hoping Seagate has tilted their budgets to better QA on products people trust their important memories to, even when they are foolish enough not to keep a full readable backup on an external drive. I guess we'll see how many people complain about issues on this new series of hard drives. The 3TB range is pretty optimal for a whole bunch of reasons and with prices hovering around $25-30 a TB this drive falls into the sweet spot of brand loyalty. You can populate an array without breaking the budget. Seagate drives appear to have had some quality issues in the past if you read the reviews, but consider all the working drives people don't care to write a review about. While today's manufacturing systems have reduced prices drastically, we're packing data tighter then ever and even a minor fault will result in lost data. (like all the pics from your bachelor party!). Keep good backups. I consider today's drives sort of disposable; if you do also, have a look at the other drives in Seagates line, specifically the Firecuda, with it's five year warranty. Easily worth the extra costs if you can get by with a 2TB unit and do not have the budget to purchase enterprise level hardware. A five year warranty shows confidence. I need confidence. After two years my drives get replaced and I use the old drive as a long term backup and I have a box at the bank holding my drives from the last ten years. One of em wouldn't spin up during the annual review. I eventually broke the stiction (GTS) and was able to mount the drive and copy all the data back to my PC. What's a ten year old 80GB drive worth ? ( $10) The data on it?..well you don't want to know what that is worth now do you? I'm using this drive in a HTPC as the primary recording drive now, data rates are what I expected, your results will most certainly vary but in the 3TB drive segment, the Seagate puts on a good show at a competitive price. I'd rate it as a good buy with it's two year warranty and five eggs I'll update this review in the event of something noteworthy happens, but I expect it to be smooth sailing
The hard drive they sent me was not formatted NOR was the DVR capable of detecting it. I sent HOURS on my phone with Amcrest tech support... (they were polite but offered NO help!). Amcrest's solution was for me to take my personal computer apart and connect the hard drive to it for formatting... Assuming the hard drive would've been detected and the formatting worked, I'm sure that would've voided the warranty on my computer. I've already returned this item...Side note, I tried to purchase a completely new DVR directly from Amcrest and everything system i wanted was out of stock. I found a third-party seller and purchased a new DVR from them expecting a "plug and play" setup... it wasn't CRAZY as it sounds! That HD was ALSO undetected by that DVR as well!! (Also ...

I've even suggested them to my friends and family but, after this painful experience, I'm swearing them off for good... I HOPE someone from Amcrest calls me about this review because every number I try connects me to "Colin" or "Amy" from India!Avoid this product unless you feel comfortable doing a lot more technical work than I do...Stay safe,George
