Seagate BarraCuda Pro 2TB Internal Hard Drive Performance HDD – 3.5 Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7200 RPM 128MB Cache for Computer Desktop PC Laptop, Data Recovery – Frustration Free Packaging (ST2000DM009)

This is for the 2T Seagate Barracuda Pro ST2000DM009. The drive came well packaged. It is just a bare drive, no SATA cable or instructions, so you'll need to have access to your PC documentation. Start to finish took about 15 minutes, one screwdriver is all you need. Half of that time was spent blowing dust out of my PC with compressed air. I replaced a 9 year old 750GB Seagate drive that came with my HP Pavilion (Model HPE-180t) purchased in 2010. The speed is 7,200 RPM with 128Mb cache, which is 4x what I had. I also purchased 2 2GB SDRAM DIMMs from Crucial.com for $30 including shipping. So at $120 for the Seagate and $30 to upgrade from 8GB to 12 GB RAM, I spent $150 for what performs very much like a brand new PC. Ultra quiet and fast. 2TB is more than I'll ever need for an internal drive, and I reformatted and installed the original Seagate drive as additional storage. Seagate Expansion external drives will be added as needed. Very happy with the drive and the price.

So far so good. I've had several Seagate drives just suddenly die (refuse to be recognized by system) with no warning. I have two still running with my fingers crossed. Decent drives otherwise.

Worked great in a mirror set in a small server

Flawless instalation.

The Hard drive seems to work except it makes a really loud grinding noise that drives me mad. The hard drive sounds like it is going to break

Does what it's supposed to. Great pricing, even better speeds (7200 RPM!), nice storage capacity.

Easy to install runs very well, better than the stock drive it replaced

Good as expected
