Terrific Value; Reliability & Durability Untested However
As of May 2016, this Seagate 8TB is great value for money! Performance is satisfactory for its intended purpose (i.e. archiving) so don't expect trail blazing speed.
Cost per gigabyte however is class leading.
Being a new HDD, it's reliability & performance is yet to be tested but so far, it has performed to expectations.
External build quality is comparable to the best made drives.Read full review

Dead man walking
For every new drive I get I do a full write to the disk to make sure if it's gonna die early it happens before I start using it.
I did a full 8tb write to the disk, then another 8tb write, then an 8tb read to make sure the data was all good.
It passed with flying colours, but I started using it, wrote 2tb to it fine, then copied another file and got nine thousand bad sectors. Fun.
I'm retesting it to see how it behaves, but unless it fixes itself up this is going right back to the seller.
All that said, three year warranty and they're cheap as chips so bleh. Two stars. (I've got another and I'll get the first replaced with a third, so I might update this review later.)Read full review

Massive storage at an excellent price
I use pairs of these drives configured as JBOD in a Thecus 7700 NAS to rsync backup a main Synology NAS.
This setup has been running perfectly for more than 6 months with no hiccups or drive failures.
Performance seems OK but is not a critical factor as the backups are automated and occur during the night.
Although I was originally cautious of Seagate drives, I'm 100% happy with the 18 of these drives now in service.Read full review
